Zip a de doo da

 Some tiny shells I collected ...the lighter is there to show you how small these are . I collected shell grit at the turn of the tide ,then sifted through it looking for shells :)

 Zipper 1 on a pencil case . Its made from a piece of ribbon, braid and a jewelry finding :)

 A sports bag .

 These are the zippers Im very pleased with :)

heres what I made them from ....wire edged ribbon ( I cut the silver bit from the side) ...an added bonus to this is you can cut off the outer edge and uncover some very fine wire :) I then trimmed the silver section back to the size I wanted , glued it to ribbon and added a finding :)

Penguins and Miners.

 Lol heres my attempt at the penguin teapot tutorial....lets just say I adapted mine a bit ...and also tried to make some matching cups. I will have another attempt at this sometime.

 Here is the progress on Dads Mine ,this section is pre war .Dad intends on having 2 sections to the mine; the old way and the modern way of mining.

A little closer :) I think he's doing a great job :)

Thankyou!

Thankyou to all my followers whether you just pop in for a look or leave me a comment . I cant believe what a wonderful possitive group of people you are . Thankyou!

Today Ive made a few purfume bottles using beads,findings and plastic earing backs. Im really liking the results.

slippers

 I bought some resin flatbacks designed for scrapbooking ....

 A little flock some trim and a foam base and they look ok. :)

 this is how they started.

A decorated jelly ....looks messy but edible ;)

Jelly,Jewelry and an update on Dad.

 Ok heres Dads first attempts at using airdry clay :)

 As you can see they are 1/24th scale miners .....amazing job I think. I cant wait to see them painted .

 My fisrt attempt at using 2 part resin ...quite happy with the results and its a lot less complicated than I expected it to be .

 Attempts at translating jewelry making to a smaller scale....things have to be simplified a lot .

 another pic of the jelly ....ha ha bloggers at it again mixing up my pictures.

 Here I used "triple thick" on a watch.....as you can see the ink ran, but the strap is looking quite effective.

 Rings.....

 The start of a bangle.

 I used an empty pill pop out to make the ring box.

This is my attempt at making a template .....the squares are 1cm .....dotted lines = fold , solid lines = cut .

Bits and Bobs

 Ive been making some stands for my jewelers shop just black card with the fronts flocked but they will work.

 More books for a schoolroom project the MET group is doing.

 Thankyou Drora for sharing Heather's tutorial ....Heres my first attempts.

 Paper plates

 More" Art Glass"

Have a great day everyone :)

I went looking for clamps!

 Didnt find what I was looking for but couldnt resist these pliers :) great for getting in small spaces :)

I thought Id save myself a lot of time quilling by using a manual shredder to cut strips of paper ...$4 a bargain as my electric one cross cuts the paper so that was going to be an awful lot of gluing :/ I also got myself a fine tipped soldering iron ......guess I will be learning to solder ;) .I also bought one more thing a gollywog tea set :) will show you that another time as I dont want to unpack it yet.
