The Circus Arrives Without Warning....and so do I.

Yes, thats right, after MONTHS of not having a computer, trying to do everything through apps, hating my tablet and frustrated by my phone.....I have a normal life again.

Its weird, the screen seems so big.

ANYWAY, I've been crafting during my absense, and here is a result.....a Realpuki sized diorama, inspired by The Night Circus.

How cute is this little reveure? 

You can find the end result here: Night Circus Pumpkin

Pumpkin house is officially up for grabs!

Now I can start being anxious about shipping it....ha ha ha!

Here is the Etsy link, to my dusty old shop which i haven't used in a looooog while!

Realpuki pumpkin house

Mini pumpkin house- Realpuki size.

So I keep making these things.

I thought I'd offer some of them for sale, because it's getting a little weird up in here. We got pumpkins all over. And honestly, I love making them. I can't stop. Therefore, I will offer a couple for sale in my Etsy shop, Lovefool Designs. (Which I haven't used in forever, since my ole jewlery craftin' days)

It is a realpuki sized diorama, made with various, various crafty materials.  You can see Jackie here, with his guitar (neither of which are included in the selling of this diorama) lookin cute and giving a good size reference.

Here's a cute little garden sculpture, made with some glass I found at the beach, and moss which I am addicted too. 

I'll add some more pics and list in on Etsy as soon as I can get a shipping quote. But i really hope someone likes it. I love it, but I made it so it really doesn't count. I can't be the only one out there obsessed with realpuki pumpkin houses!

The jewel thief....

My little fairy sifting through the vintage jewelry box which I inherited from my great aunt.
Her dress is off a mini Dal ballerina doll, which I just dyed with regular food colouring (on impulse, while doing my Easter eggs).

Roro's new (again) faceup....

I've had this girl for just over 2 years now....and seriously, I still have no idea what to do with her. I *think* I want her to be some sort of sugarplum fairy or a tooth fairy..... SO here is her new facie, done by me, and franky, I think I'm improving at faceups.

BtW- the lint on her face is not stuck in the faceup, that blasted white 'carpet' is a magnet for every hair and flecka in a 2 mile radius.

Here is.....whatever her name is....with some eyes that I hate but were the only ones I had lying around. She's evolving!

Jackie's time to shine!

Since it's Halloween....here's my guy, Jack. His home needs work, but he's sort of a spartan guy anyway!

Happy Halloween!!!

The Pumpkin house....

Ok, well I have been toying with ideas for making a home for my Realpuki Roro, Ghost.
And I can't help it, even though it's been done....I want to make a pumpkin house.
Luckily, we had a crap-ton of halloween decorations boxed up, and I found a nice big pumpkin to carve up.

I wanted the inside to look like an actual dried out pumpkin, so I concocted this recipe of acrylic texture paste, craft sand, yellow and cream paint, and some pastel dust:

So I mixed it up and smeared it on:

And then added some pastel dust for effect, just scraped 2 shades of orange onto the paper with a blade, and then I gently blew it into the wet....'recipe':

And here it is, dried, with the cardboard beginnings of the stone fireplace (which I worked on today and will post pics of very soon- its AWESOME). I really like the colour, and am VERY excited about this project!:

Give it another shot....

Blogging that is.
Maybe just something as simple as a photo- from my new camera.

here is my new favorite photo ever.
