a few random things

[katjekattekop.livejournal.com]

this one for a a friend using that same Mary material everyone likes...and now i want to make myself one, lol.

it's a little hard to see but i put clear sequins (sp?) on the flowers just to add a little sparkle.












the pic of the back is a little fuzzy i know, the material is faux suede, it's so soft but a pain in the ass to sew.





second a few months ago i bought some plastic bear joints off ebay and today i got a magazine from the actual store that sells the items.

it's called Stockade Supply in Guelph Ontario. http://www.stockade.ca

they have the plain black safety eyes i was looking for. they also have paints, jewelry making supplies/tools, stock wood things, shrink plastic, various tools, everything!!

it's worth a look especially for my fellow Canadian crafters.




thirdly i was thinking of buying some black Fimo clay to make pendants and paint them with metallic gold paint.
i've never really done this before, do i need some kind of clear coat to put on top of the dried/painted pendant? and which would be best?
are there any special tools that would help a beginner or should i be good to go?



fourthly, and slightly off topic




hehehe. it's just a sketch of course but it'd look badass cleaned up. :D
