My Weekend Creations.....



ooh what have we here??....
#1 Is my left over button from my pregnancy dress (Pea in the pod hehe) that i shortened (no I wasn't ever pregnant I just found it at the op shop and thought it was super duper). I thought that the buttons were super duper duper that was pretty much the reason I bought the dress anyway so yeah I had a left over button that I had to use, so i thought oooh a matching ring would be fun (and I had just opened my super glue so I needed to use it before it dried out). So I found a lame ring that I didn't want anymore so I glued this on over the top of it and walaaaah super ring!
#2 Crocodile ring, I bought this crocodile from Iko Iko (my favourite shop in the world! its full off overpriced knick-knacks and stuff you never knew you wanted) yes thats the same shop I got your bunny eraser from Alice. The ring was old but I re-glued the crocodile on because it fell off so yeah not really something new but I thought I'd tell you about it anyway.
#3 Fimo Ring thats old too I just re-glued it because it broke My stuffs pretty shoddy isn't it hehe.
#4 My pierrot dolls I bought off trademe well yeah they turned into limb jewellery hehehe. I cut the leg out and trimmed it in cream leather and attached a loop to make a freaky necklace!
#5 My charm or cool stuff necklace, which has hanging on it:
*Purple and blue rocks from my gran
*Indian pendant from Trade Aid
*Glass pendant from Trade Aid
*Pyrite stone which I got from the Gypsy Fair It helps reinforce the bodys immunity system, increases mental abilities, links the left side of my brain to the right which facilitates communication between logic and emotions, analysis and creativity. so what a bargain for only 50c then!
*Azurite stone from the Gypsy Fair too It helps enhance physhic abilities, releases fear vibration, enhances inspiration, creativity, intuition, strengthens blood, hearing problems, neck ache, sore throats, can also be used in third eye chakra for powerful vision enhancer so in all another great bargain for $3.50 if I get a great big sack and fill it will all the healing jems I might turn into a superhuman!
I added the Gypsy Fair jems which I wound in metal from the arms and legs of my pierott doll.
#6 Lastly my hand pencil!!! probably only like my most favourite pencil in the world! when you write the hand waves at you which makes me laugh!
I had a very productive weekend I actually completed my sewing box! which resulted in my wardrobe having that I'm so full you can't move the clothes unless you want to push everything off the end thing going on. But I now have lots of new dresses and things to do photoshoots in yay!

What to do to my Black Boots






I recently bought some boots off trademe for only $2 (but I had to pay $7 for postage which was annoying). When they arrived I was suproised to see they were possibly the uggliest boots I had ever seen the combination off them being a size 10 with a looong flat square toe was quite disgusting. I didn't want to waste my money and thought that anything would be better than what they are now so I got creative....... I cut off the top off the shoe to make them into open toe boots then I cut the sole to make them the right size hehe and a nicer round shape. The result was a rather hacked at looking shoe that didn't look very well done at all but they did look better. So now I'm rather stuck as to what to do next should I paint them, attach buckles, do cutouts or add material patches. I really can't decide and really want to do them all I will do some more reearch for minspiration but at the moment I think cutouts are winning but they seem a bit boring....

Nest Headpiece



What Im Wearing:
Colourful blotchy top: Op shopped
Black skirt: Gift from Katherine
Black shoes: Rose's
Cardigan: Op shopped
Brown bag: Rose's

Whilst I was mowing the lawns on Saturday I almost ran over this nest. It was lying on the ground in front of me and luckily I bent down and picked it up because its very cool and looks rather nice on my head hehe. I poked a bobby pin through the bottom which worked just fine for my photos but it appeared to be a one time use head piece as the bits of straw are falling out and I was constantly freaking out that there would be a colony of spiders living in it so it may just end up being a basket in my room filled with plastic birdies of course haha. I decided to wear it with this cardigan because it reminds me of a crazy lady that feed birds breadcrumbs by the pond and also goldilocks but thats irrelevant. The rest of the outfit just happened and i also just wanted to wear the top because it was new, well to me anyway. oh and the cute little old cat thats coco shes got good taste!

what I did today


material

pierrot dolls imagine theri little heads as a brooch ooh coolness

mask brooch

all the figurines but i only bought the cool ones though

I went onto trademe and spent mostly all the money i made from selling my clothes on odd bits and pieces including a drama mask brooch and 7 plastic toy figurines to make into the awesomest brooches and recently i have bought two pierrot dolls which i really regret buying becasue they are ugly i might rip their heads off to make into brooches (evil laugh) (notice the millions of brooches i will soon have) and i bought some material which is super cool its aztec and i got 3.8 m so either it will turn into some curtains or a whole new set of clothes ooh cant wait!
oh yeah and i started this blog.....
