What's that coming over the hill?..

 It's a monster, IT'S A MONSTER! (8)

     These are the first few wee monsters i made many moons ago in roughly 2009/10 when i was just leaving/left high school and seem to think i'd fund my life creating creepy and cute art&craft creations and live happily ever after. Oh to be that young and naive. 

    I took a rather long break from monster making to focus on College&Uni (Of course a Art&Design course) but recently attempted to recreate my wee monsters in a newer more refined design.
The result...These wee cuties!

  

    Being Scottish it was only natural that the ball of orange fluffiness developed into little Heilan' Moos!

  The latest monster has developed somewhat from the simplistic purely sewn puff balls they once were into this chap.
    He's fairly poseable including all limbs and his tail, however i'm still working on my armature skills and hoping to improve them ASAP!.
Each of his little hands/feet and face/head are all hand sculpted by myself using no moulds! Then baked and painstakingly hand painted piece by piece, even down to his little fingernails.

Food, glorious food!

     No this isn't a blog post about my dinner...although i am one of those weirdos that takes photos of their food. *Shrugs*

     This is all about my food/sweetie "candy" inspired jewellery pieces. Something which i remember looking through DA years ago going "I'm never going to make things like that, they're too complicated and mines'll look crap", but here we are, it's pretty much what i've spent the last few months doing, and now i'm completely addicted.

Here's some of the first few pieces of jewellery i ever made, besides a few beaded pieces as a kid.
My first ever piece of clay jewellery was a very crudely made cupcake bracelet in 2008 followed by some Paracetamol, Polo and Loveheart pieces using a pushmold i made. Closely followed by various other charms.

Evolution of the Gummy Bear

 As with everything these took a lot of trial and error before i was finally happy with them

 2010 - 2013

Not much has changed really, still been pottering about trying out new ideas and techniques, one day i'll have practiced enough to be half as good as some of the people out there...maybe.

Determined to eventually make some doll house miniatures..but first i need to spend a few days writing down and cataloging all my ideas to try make some space in my little overloaded brain. 

2014 work...Coming soon
