Very Christmassy

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Hi
Its delightfully Christmassy here.  We finished the tree last night and had the traditional first mince pie of the season sitting together beneath it admiring its glittery splendour, ah, perfect.
Here is this years Christmas cake decoration, she sort of spread a little as she dried out, but I feel she is the “full and happy, second helpings every time” Christmas Deer Girl.

A new addition this year are the bunny heads, a set of four mini sized bunny heads that seemed festive enough to leave up after the addition of some glitter holly.

Here they are as individual bunnies:
Black and white

Grey bunny

Brown bunny

and albino bunny

and some decorations I made for the tree, deer girl

yet another bunny

and Pauls and mine initialled macarons


Just the gingerbread house to decorate and the first party this weekend, Im looking forward to all of Christmas so much, especially the leftovers.  Merry Christmas everyone!

JamFancy Button Pack

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

Hello
Well, I made these maybe two years ago…………..and only now have I gotten it together enough to put them up for sale.  At least I am in time for Christmas with them.
These little button brooches are “Cute as  a Button”, a fun colourful accessory to brighten up a jacket lapel, cardy or hat, or great as a little stocking stuffer as  we move closer to Christmas.  At just a little under 3.5cm in diameter, they can be worn by your Blythe doll as well.
There are eight different sets of three to choose from, each badge featuring a different JamFancy girl on a coloured background.  They are oddly jewel like actually, rather shiney and pretty.
They will be shipped in a sturdy cardboard envelope and wrapped in bubble wrap for extra care and are nine dollars per set.
Bad Kitty pack

Bandit pack
Drummer pack

Geisha pack

Grumpy Girl Hero pack

Reading Girl Hero pack

Sewing pack

Paper doll pack

and now for my natty pictures of “serving suggestions” *L*




thanks very much for looking!

Jam Fancy Magnets!

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

Hi
I had so much fun making these magnets, my fridge is covered with them too*L*  I may have gone a bit overboard, I think Ive made about 18 different ones to choose from!
Unfortunately this isnt my lovely pink Smeg fridge, I just thought they looked so much cuter on this one than on my rather dull metal fridge

Here they all are…we have bunnies


Deer Girls


Girl Heros


various bandits



Geishas



and various others, you can see what I meant about getting a bit carried away…..





They are all listed right now at my Etsy store for a mere $5.00 each too.  If the one you are after is missing though, either let me know or give me a minute to re-list, Etsy charges like a wounded bull with a shoe fetish to maintain per listing, so I just put up one at a time.
Thanks for looking

and now Christmas cards!

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Hello again
Hurray!  It is nearly Christmas, quite definitely the very best time of the year and I have made some Christmas cards to help you celebrate.  This is something I have wanted to do for years, but somehow Christmas always caught up with me before I got around to it, so Im rather excited to have finally gotten a bit organised.
A set of six cards (three of each kind) with suitably seasonal red and green envelopes.  Inside a cheery Christmas message reads, “ Merry Christmas Deery”.
Printed on quality 300 gsm cast coated high gloss card size 148mm X 105mm
Start your Christmas shopping early this year at my Etsy store!



Oooh I love Christmas, just cant wait.

Four new prints in the Etsy store

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Hello
 
Just a quick etsy update  : )
Ive been doing some medium size work in the original prints so I can get a bit more detail into the work, its been a nice change.  So now there are four new prints for the etsy store.




Ive been getting into the human size sewing lately as well and I cant wait to get my hands on this new fabric from Japan.  I LOVE cross stitch and was highly tickled to nab these two, I see dresses and tops and possibly some very snazzy trousers as well.

New prints and new ceramics

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

Hi
Got a few new prints in the etsy store, seems masks and noses are all I can do of late.  I finished a new one yesterday called Knitting Girl Hero as well, will have to wait for a sunny day to take a photo though before I can add her.
This of course is “Sausage Girl Hero”, don’t know why this idea didnt occur to me some time ago really…..
sausagegirlhero
and this one was completed around Valentine’s but I got the worst cold so she is only going in the store now, oh well, I never do time these things well
funnyvalentine
and finally yet another year of the bunny print, I do love this bunny year for inspiration!
bunnyearworking copy
Got some new ceramics back as well.  These plates and bowls are mainly from my first classes when I was too scared to do anything but make plates and bowls with moulds, it seemed so much safer than trying to make something in 3D!  I had been putting off painting them up for some reason, but ended up really enjoying it and plan on doing many more, I think they will even end up in the etsy store too.

Yeaar of the bunny again
bunnybowl
This platter was to give me something to do  in class, I dont like to do any of the more detailed things as I only have a couple of hours and cant get them finished, so I made flowers for many classes, not really sure what to do with this now, serve crisps in it perhaps?
flowerbowl
This girl is a work in progress really, she is going to be a ceramic doll.  Just cant wait to make her a body and clothes!
