The final Infernal Devices badge is finished, and it's Tessa's clockwork angel. I would have liked to have added something above the angel, but I had the idea after it was glued to the paperboard backing. Don't they look great? You can see the background colour gradient I was going for, though I think the jump… Continue reading Clockwork Angel
Happy Birthday Sarah!
Today is Sarah's birthday! I made a chocolate cake to celebrate (her favourite kind), with white chocolate roses on top. I also thought to celebrate, I'd share some previously-unseen photos - outtakes from photo shoots, as well as some that aren't from photo shoots. Let's go! I think this one is an outtake from a… Continue reading Happy Birthday Sarah!
Happy Easter!
I'm not sure BB-8's very keen on the chick... I hope you all have a great day/weekend, whether you celebrate or not! See ya! FillieFanatic
Violin Strings
I finished the second of my Infernal Devices badges, this one is inspired by Jem Carstairs (who might just be my favourite of the two boys). I was reminded with this badge just how difficult embroidering on jersey is! I must find some more plain cottons, especially in grey. I think I would've preferred the jade pendant… Continue reading Violin Strings
Making Waves
I've been starting a new embroidery hoop recently, based on one of the stories from The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo. I don't have the patience to embroider those big sections of wave entirely, so I'm using pieces of felt to block in a base colour... ...then stitching on heaps of lines to convey the… Continue reading Making Waves
Mauve Book Covers
Is this another badge I'm making? Yup! It's inspired by the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare, specifically the character Will Herondale. The reason A Tale of Two Cities is mauve is because Will describes his soul as being mauve in the second book, Clockwork Prince (p95). The set, when put together, will fade from white to black… Continue reading Mauve Book Covers
Project Roundup
I haven't been working on a lot recently, but the console remains in progress! The white shapes in between the thin white 'spokes' have been added, and as a result, the TARDIS console now looks a little like a flower from above. The new shapes are slightly raised, and will have the various knobs and… Continue reading Project Roundup
New Styles
I finished the khaki jacket! I embroidered two patches onto the arms because it looked a little plain otherwise. On the right, there's this little crest I made up: And on the left are these arrows (?) that I've seen on similar jackets. I would like to put something on the back eventually, but it's… Continue reading New Styles
Goose
I wonder what this orange sphere could be... It looks like it has a head... could it be... ? It's a cat! (Or is it a flerken?) More specifically, it's a crocheted Goose the cat from Captain Marvel. Crochet Goose has a plaited tail... ...and a ribbon collar with a 'tag' made from a sequin. Honestly,… Continue reading Goose
Project Roundup
I'm still chugging along on the TARDIS console, I'm doing a lot of little structural details at the moment, and I'll hopefully be painting soon, if it isn't raining! These little curved supports were so fiddly! I've also started this khaki-coloured jacket that will also test the jacket/coat pattern I made (after how many jackets… Continue reading Project Roundup
