A Sassy Conspiracy

I am in a personal swap with the lovely and talented corduroy cat (of Craftster.org) this month and I received from her on Friday!
After bouncing around a few ideas on themes, I spotted a needle felted two-headed kitten on Cat’s wist and totally fell in love with it. I’ve always wanted something needle felted, so [...]

Colour-wise, what makes up green? Blue and yellow, of course. This necklace runs the gamut from yellow to blue, with lots of beautiful shades of green in between. Approximately 51″ in length, it features a whole mess of beautiful large sterling silver chain, six sterling silver beads and sterling silver wiring, bead caps and fused [...]

Finally a more budget-concious piece that i love! I’ve had these gorgeous dyed chalcedony for ages, not sure what to do with them. They’re perfect for spring, so I paired them up with some dainty little bead caps and a chunky, hammered, silverplated chain. Approximately 43″ in length, and fastens with a sterling silver lobster [...]

The cloud and lightening bolt are handcut from sterling silver, and the cloud has been hammered to give it a “cloudlike” texture.

Materia medica features an antique, monogrammed sterling silver pill case, with a small mirror in its lid and space for an assortment of small pills. Mom picked it up at an antique show a few weeks ago. It’s hung with two of my favorite chains - the 3mm rolo and the Tiffany style chain (both [...]

So Smashu received my goodies yesterday, which means I can post what I made!
First up, the most labor intensive item of the package is this reproduction of one of the comic panels from the film, done in acrylics. The enigmatic and more than slightly disturbed Pavi Largo, as portrayed by Skinny Puppy’s frontman, Ogre. This [...]

As most people who know me know, I participate in organized swaps through Craftster fairly regularly. This week I finished up my items for the Repo! The Genetic Opera! swap. I can’t post what I crafted for it just yet, lest my swap partner stumble upon the post prematurely, but I can post the amazing [...]

This past weekend boyfriend’s burlesque troupe had its first big show. He does a juggling act for the troupe, and what better costume for the act then the character who started it all, Jareth, the Goblin King. While David Bowie didn’t actually perform the contact juggling tricks in The Labyrinth, he inspired dear boyfriend to [...]
