Skull in a Jar

 

I cast a skull and coloured it up.  I needed it raised out of the lid so I used a cotton spool and some cardboard.

I glued a large spider on the top of the jar.

I added white shredded paper and some mini resin embellishments.

I used brushed iron alchemy wax on the embellishments.

And after I'd coloured them I decided that it needed a proper more stable base, so covered a coaster with black powertex and added in some small sand balls.

I used white powertex to dry brush over the coaster to show the sand balls and texture.

And then finally a shot in the garden.

Sleepy Bunnies in Baskets

Large sleep bunny in a basket, the basket is approx 7" wide and 3.5" deep and has been filled with shredded tissue paper and then natural coloured raffia.

And this is a view of the basket and the lovely bright weave.

Smaller sleepy bunny. Basket size is approx 4.5" wide and 3" deep, again filled with shredded tissue and raffia.

And a view of the basket and its pink and yellow weave.

And finally the last bunny in the basket. This basket is approx 5" wide and 3.5" deep.

Pink basket with yellow and purple weave.

These would make lovely Easter gifts and there is room in the baskets for you to add some mini chocolate eggs.

You can find them all sale in my Etsy shop - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SamsHandmadeStore

Easter Basket Bunnies

I made a sleepy bunny and found a lovely basket to put it in, added some raffia and he looks so cute. Then I was asked if I could make another one, but slightly different. Well that was easy as I'm not sure I could make two the same anyway!! 

This is the first basket I picked up, a yellow one with purple and pink weave.

And this one is a pink basket with a yellow and purple weave. Which is brilliant as their favourite colours are these three but they are slightly different so will be able to easily tell them apart (no arguing, hopefully!)

All snuggled up in their little baskets ready for Easter.

These two are sold, but I will be making some more to put in my Etsy shop ready for Easter.

Felted Owls

Followed the Sarafina ornament owl tutorial and came up with these two little fellas. I used some of the locks I got yesterday from Sally Crowe to add to the wings of the right one and both of their heads.

These are how the fab locks came yesterday.

I'm just waiting for another parcel from Jo Prosser with some scraps in it so that I can make a nest for them.

 Parcel received and a couple of nests made - thanks Jo.
