Dragon's brew part 2.

 Hello my darkling's 

Hope you are all well and managing to do a spot of crafting?

I successfully finished my dragon's brew bottle last night and I must say I am very happy with how he has turned out using my lovely new paint's, think they are Inca gold paint's, amazing colour's & I also used gilding wax copper colour. The picture's don't really do it justice as the colour's are very intense and vibrant.

Lot's of glue and patience was needed for this guy with all the drying time & fiddly bits like the lid, at one point it looked like a certain president's hair, whoops but it was all good after a haircut!😂

The dragon & the eye are from Katy Sue design's as is the clay that I used, hearty soft.

I must thank the lovely Susan Andrews from Magik Graphics for the amazing video tutorial on her altered bottle & for the inspiration because without her the tumbleweed would still be flying around in my head! Susan has posted the video on her group, Magik Graphics, so check it out you won't be disappointed.

My next mixed media project's are a couple of mdf kit's that I have just received this morning from Madhatters an owl & a haunted house with book but I also have an idea swirling around my head for a sunken treasure chest so I am truly spoilt for choice!

Anywho enough from me you go & get those internal cogs working for your next project.

Take care stay safe & craft on 💀

Dragons Brew - A work in progress.

 Afternoon darkling's 

I hope today find's you all well & keeping safe?

A lovely evening last night at our local crafting group several different craft's going on I made a few birthday card's for some friends so I am unable to show those here but I am in the process of upcycling an empty gin bottle, I had a little help in emptying the contents I hasten to add, so just the one picture of the progress so far a bit of hearty clay a lick of paint but still so much to do I will  post another picture tomorrow if all goes according to plan!

Trying to keep my mind busy and not let the tumbleweed take over is pretty tricky at times but we all have our way's with coping with life and crafting in my little corner helps with that.

I see a lot of quotes and advice on social media either through crafting groups or certain pages and one struck a chord with me yesterday and it read "Sometimes you just have to STOP and appreciate all the good things in your life." 

So take care of each other and appreciate everyone and everything you are given even if it is just a smile or a chat to a loved one.

Stay safe out there.

Welcome to my corner of the asylum.

 Afternoon darkling's 

Well what can I say about 2020?Total rubbish, a bad joke, or a nightmare the choice's are endless, but I think I would rather look to the positive's that has happened than the sad and depressing.

Thankfully my family and friends are well. However with the current situation we are not able to meet up and craft as we would like so the zoom meeting's have come in handy to chat to the crafty family to catch up on things. I have been enjoying a bit of crafting at a small group not far from me, the rule of 6 being strictly adhered to and all the covid rules in place, just nice to have a couple of hours just to chill and chat to other like minded crafter's.

I am enjoying my crafting but I do miss the big crafting workshop's at Peterborough, with the lovely teach that is Sally Ann, our last meet up was February which is so long ago!

As I say though we have had our zoom meeting's so they have really helped and so too oddly enough so has social media to a certain degree.

Anywho as I say I have been crafting & so thought I would just share the little corner of my craft area, or my corner of the lunatic asylum, the little thing's that keep me happy and just that little bit more weird from the bonker's world we are living in at the moment.

So enjoy whatever you get up to & be kind to each other & stay safe & forever odd.

Bye for now, Nikki aka Moldy xxx
