craftgrrlI usually don't post things, but I generally mean to. XD So I figured I'd post a few items made for a swap package sent out last month...
The images are somewhat large, so I'll stick them behind a cut.
A Brigid Cross made of sculpy clay, baked, painted with acrylic paints.
A 'horned god' wall hanging made of sculpy clay, baked, painted with acrylic paints. Also used: twigs/sticks found outside, faux moss and leaves.
The next item, I apparently took a lot more pictures of than was absolutely necessary, but at least it gives an idea of the details.
Triple Goddess (Brigid) candle holder. Holder (at top) purchased and incorporated into the clay base. Base of sculpey, baked, and painted with acrylic paint. The hammer's handle is a twig.
Edit01: The candle holder was apparently very fragile--moreso than I expected. It broke into many pieces when shipped, a fact that made me very sad, both because my work broke, and because my swap partner was down one item. ;-; Any suggestions on what might fortify/strengthen/whatever a future attempt at a similar candle holder would be greatly appreciated.
I also made a drawstring pouch for a friend's swap partner, since my friend cannot sew. I particularly like the colors of this piece, as they match so very well. The lining is some form of satin, and the exterior some form of stretch crushed penne/velvet that was difficult to work with. The drawstring is hemp cord, and the glass beads were added as a bit of accenting. <3
I would love to know what everyone thinks of the items, any or all of them, how one thinks I can improve, or anything else of that sort. I'm always trying to improve, especially since, sooner or later, I'd love to start selling my items here and there, and I don't want to try only to find out that my work is total crap and everyone hates it. ;op You know how I feel? XD
