Non-stop

I've been so busy lately, with one thing and the other, that I've hardly had time to list new Miss Cristal jewellery. What I have been doing is taking photos of the beautiful Natalia, who kindly offered to pose for a pin up session I carried out with some friends for the humour Spanish site zasbaidefeis. I'm quite pleased with the results (except for the post-editing, since a few of the photos aren't properly edited... I really should have done that myself), and I managed to sneak in a few of my pieces for my own Miss Cristal profit! This is my favourite, I just love the picture!:

I have also devoted waaay too much time on more origami. Here's a sample of my latest, cute little handpainted gift boxes!

Wednesday Webcomic

Cyanide and Happiness is one of those webcomics that gets stick drawings right.

Can hardly believe...

... I managed to make this kusudama ball:

Thanks to Findinspirations.com for the tutorial!

Not myself today

I've recently joined a treasury team on Etsy, and have been making loads of treasuries, as well as being featured in quite a few. This is my most recent attempt, hope you like it! (Treasuries are member-curated selections of Etsy items):

Tuesday Artisan: Bullfinch and Barbury

Bullfinch and Barbury has only 27 items in her shop right now, but it's still extremely hard to pick just a few photos for you to see. Enamel is probably one of the most beautiful mediums around, and she specialises in bracelets, which are my current flavour of the month (or last four months, maybe!). So feast your eyes on these precious colours and textures:

Unfortunately I don't wear enamel bangles anymore, the few I've had I've managed to repeatedly deform and smash... the same reason why I don't wear glass rings!

Seattle Artist's Studio

I've always liked the concept of shared artist studios. Huge, open spaces where you can share your fun, frustration and general artisty things with other people. What's fantastic about this place is that it has sliding modules, so you can transform a wide, shared space into a private office in a matter of seconds!

Tron

So you've seen the movie, bought the t-shirt, wrote the fanfic. How about staying here for a night?
