Needed some more green to wear to Wicked!

I’m thinking of adding another strand or two of the seed beads… what do you think?

Just a closer look at the necklace I made to go with my fairy costume. I bound the larger beads, with the intention of making a chunkier necklace or bracelet, but didn’t have enough for what I wanted – I’m kind of happy about that now though. It’s far more versatile as it is. Looks nice wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet also.

I had a special party to go to this week. One of my favourite little girls turned three!

Renae’s daughter, Kaitlyn, had a fairy party – about which I was probably more excited than anyone my age had any right to be. Either way, I believe you can’t go to a fairy party without your wings, and so I had a lot of fun getting mine ready.

I started with a pile of goodies from Spotlight…

And ended up with this:

I did enjoy making my wand, though trying to match the paint to the cornflowers was harder than I had anticipated.

I did the detail with cling stamp and black paint – which seemed like a good idea until I had to clean the stamp.

Long necklace, to be doubled over – made with agate-looking stone and blue seed beads.

But my favourite part? The wings! I loved how they turned out, even if I couldn’t quite get them to sit straight on.

White and pink child’s tights stretched over some wire and detailed with purple, silver, and glitter paint – they really shine!

I should be finishing up blankets and crocheted toys… anything to make a dent in my toppling wip pile, however last night I picked up my poor abandoned cross-stitch and worked on a few sections.
