I love participating in crafty swaps...especially Harry Potter ones and this is the Yule swap, one of the best swaps the Harry Potter Crafts at yahoogroups does. I made a Gryffindor house Stocking and goodies to put inside. I made a brooch using plaster of paris, a polymerclay dragon, and also an interesting necklace....
Have not updated for so long, here are some crafts i did at the end of last year for Yule gifts. I am still trying to master the polymer clay work, I just do not seem to get the time to dedicate to this medium. However, I am very keen to do much much more and get much much better....
Here is Fido an embroidered dog for Lilly :) It features ribbon roses, bullion roses and the usual freinch knots and other straight stitches. These are lots of fun to make too!!
This is a beaded pot made for my Dad. This is a very time consuming project, yet very rewarding as i feel the end result is wonderful!! I am looking forward to making more pots in the different patterns featured in a book i have, called Beaded Boxes by Julia Pretl.
I made this for a swap at the Harry Potter crafts group, its a miniature bottle of the ultimate good luck potion, Felix Felicis!! Its made using Swarovski crystals and the spiral rope stitch. I also made a mobile phone charm with "Grow-Your-Own-Wart" potion in a miniature bottle.
I am a classically trained dancer and was a principal of a dancing school before starting a family. Now I dedicate my time to raising my three children and crafting and teaching dance part time.
