Hello darkling's
I trust that your well & still enduring the current situation? I for one have not been coping well I don't mind telling you, we're all friends here after all, but with not being able to get out and about even to just potter in the garden has been an enormous challenge. Being alone in your own head, yes I have the family here with me, but your own thoughts are the worst at times!
So crafting has been tricky with no mojo or enthusiasm to do anything but the mundane life stuff. I decided after having a stern talk with myself that I needed to 'get on with it'! The words of a good friend ringing in my ear's from a previous workshops, Kimmi, and also what my dear late Mum would shout at me too!
This is my steampunk mannequin I've named her Sally in honour of a special friend, who runs the said workshops I attend when we are allowed, as I reckon she will approve!(I hope so anyway 😁). Steampunk Sally has been altered several times as I was just not happy with how she looked. Infact I think I changed my mind with the style of wings about 6 or 7 times! I eventually decided to use the Stamperia Vagabond wings mould with some hearty clay in the end. Lots of cogs and jewellery charms were used and I have even used lace, which I hated because it's too girly, but I carried on then used some old faux leather off cuts I had in my stash to make her a skirt of sorts. The light bulb was a broken one from our dining room so it was included as a head well why not eh? I am happy with how Steampunk Sally has turned out after the lack of enthusiasm and not being happy with anything she has turned out ok.
Thanks for listening to my rambling and I do hope things are all well with you once again?
Keep smiling and stay safe,
Nikki aka Moldy 💀
