I've been (vvveeerrryyy) slowly painting the TARDIS console, this is the progress made in about a week and a half from when all the yellow was done. To get this worn metal effect, I painted two coats of black and one thin coat of bronze. I love it, I think it really suits the aesthetic… Continue reading TARDIS Console Progress

Project Roundup
The TARDIS console is slightly further along than it is here, but I've begun painting it! I'll add a bit of orange to the yellow crystal in the centre to give it depth, and paint the underside metallic bronze. The embroidery hoop is also coming along, I've started the coral reef on the side as… Continue reading Project Roundup
Clockwork Angel
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
