Yummy present

It was my niece's birthday last week and she has been asking me for a long time to make a replica of a birthday cake her mum (my other sister) made for her second birthday.

It took me 3 days to make. Rather than make the actual two-tier cake she had, I decided to turn in into something a bit more practical than just a fake cake. So I covered two boxes with the Fimo. She can eventually use them as jewellery boxes one day?

I tried as much as I could to stick to the original one: she seems to have liked it, so my work here is done!

The original cake that my twin made for my niece's 2nd birthday (yes, she did make all of it herself!):


and the one I made as her birthday present this year:

Sunday interlude...

Today I tried a design inspired by a tutorial from indigonova1 on YouTube called Bold Retro Wallpaper.

Here is the version I tried on my sister's nails:
 
and the version tried on mine: 

My sister is not a fan of the result I must say but she is kind enough to keep it for a week in case it grows on her :-)
Mine sort of hurts the eyes when looking at it lol Not sure I will do this again. But at least I have tried!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

Shopping!

While in London, I went to one of my favourite places: Covent Garden!

This area is great for crafters (well...for getting beads and findings). That is where I found the only shop where I can get my Fimo from: The London Graphic Centre. It is the only shop so far where I can find the bigger blocks of fimo.


Then, I got all excited to get back to that little bead shop further down...but to my surprise: it was shut! I have been getting findings from that shop for a couple of years. The owner was a chinese guy, very funny and you always had some fun music in there. Anyway....
 
 
I went further down to the next shop I knew would still be there for sure: The London Bead Shop. This place is big.


They have so many different beads and findings: it is beads heaven!






I got a few beads for future projects, as well as some findings I was missing for unfinished projects I started before I went to London. With that shop, I've never had to go anywhere else. They also have a website where you can order online: I have never used it as I have always managed to go straight there lol

That's all for today :-)

Untitled

Just like singers, sometimes it is hard to find a title.

Here is a simple necklace: think it could go with those earrings (the second pair). No?


That's all for today :-)

Last bracelet

OK maybe not the last one ever, but at least in that tribal mood of mine (also because I don't have any of that clay left!)
Here it is under different angles...and worn.





That's all for the tribal chapter and my UK stay :-)
