I Spy Treasury

I am honored to be included in an Etsy Treasury named 'I Spy' by curator Katnawlins. One of my Mata Hari Bindi Boxes was featured here (my favorite bellydancing spy!). You can view the whole treasury here.

It's all finally here!

Today, I received by the grace of the UPS Gods, the last element for my Bindi Box Sets! I spent a few moments figuring out what is the best way to fill little tiny glass bottles with spirit gum. I had some success, and some failure. In the end, I was happy with the outcome, and was able to list a Fred and Ginger Bindi Box Set on my Etsy website. At least I got something done today right? I will likely offer the boxes alone, and I may eventually make bigger boxes with pasties in them. What do you think? I did list a couple bottles of the Spirit Gum Bindi Adhesive, as they are the perfect size to go into a little baggie (or a bindi box!) with your favorite Bindis in your travel show kit.

I managed to to send out both orders I had received, and am now working on the Zombie earrings! Go Zombies! Hopefully I'll be able to get some of this done before Thursday so that I can go to the Empire 3-day larp event and not feel guilty. Who am I kidding? I'm more than likely going to have to take something with me to work on either way.

Bindi Boxes

So, I got my little tins. Tonight, I decided to start them with some different pictures; one a vintage 'Showgirl', one a lovely Lotus Woman, and one of the frontpage of Nayna's website. I am working with them to see if I should just seal them with a varnish, or add a Diamond Glaze, or some such sealant to them. The Lotus Woman is intended to be for Nayna's half-birthday (she was born on Christmas, so she's entitled ;), so I covered it with a glaze product, and embedded some Swarovski Crystals into it. I'll let you know how it goes.

Tonight I plan on adding all of the coats of varnish necessary so that tomorrow I may begin adding the word images to the back. Wish me luck!

P.S. An update on my Facebook Page: I have 153 fans so far! Only 847 to go to secure my page! Please add me, and ask your friends to add me :)

Feathers!

Today I went on a search for Fuschia crystal rhinestones, and managed not to find any that weren't acrylic, but I did find all of these fabulous feathers to make Feather Fascinators out of! Should I be sad that I didn't find the rinestones? Yes, but I can always order them. I was merely looking for instant gratification.

The rest of the beads for Naima's and Cassies wedding jewelry came today, along with all of my little tins! Yay! What shall I do with them? Tune in at a later date to find out ;)
