Baby Fairy Butterfly

Could you just pick this little sweetie up and smother her with kisses.

Baby Fairy Butterfly by Mo’s Digital Pencil

I made a feature of the Pumpkin Bottom Pearl from Wholeport  by punching out a circle and allowing it to swing in the cut out attaching it to a ribbon.

……….

I did a cycle ride on my own today, quite something for me as I don’t even like to go to the shops alone, the thinking about it was far worse than the doing it. I did 9 miles with a stop at MacDonald's for a cup of coffee, I’m very proud of myself.

Jack’s Driving

There comes a time in your life when you have to let them drive your car and it’s terrifying, you know they can do it but your brain just doesn’t connect to this when sitting in the passenger seat.

Jack’s Driving is an image from Mo’s Digital Pencil and it just says it all.

I decided on a Garage theme to go with the image.

Of course it had to have a fun number plate too.

Lets Make Copic Flowers.

Wouldn’t it be fun to make some flowers to match your Copic markers or any other alcohol markers that you colour with?

Copic flowers1

I love the little resin flowers that you can buy but they can work out rather pricey. then there is the problem of finding the right colour.

So I decided I would make my own in the colours that I liked.

So I started with a multi pack of polymer clay, these packs are great starter packs to build up your colours and they are from Wholeport  20 colours for only $5.45

The white is important to have because you can lighten any colour with it just by needing it into another colour. You can also mix the colours together to achieve different shades.

I used this 3-Hole Chrysanthemum Mini Silicone Mould  only $1.99

All you do is soften the clay by rolling it in your hand and then press a pea sized amount into your flower mould.

All that I need to do now is bake them in the oven for 20 minutes and they will be good to go.
