Attempting steampunk creations… A shoulder piece, chest piece, and upper arm piece… Also planning forearm pieces and something for the back… Still no idea if I’m happy with them or not… They’re mostly not glued down yet, but I really should soon… I just don’t want to make a mistake or change my mind.

Sweet Lord in heaven, Miss Minerva you do know how to augment your modifications in a manner that elicits a variety of feelings, the foremost of which is jealousy.

Oh shush, dear one, as you proceed to articulate your response with such artistic vocabulary, leaving this poor soul to shame. 

I feel as though I am unable to settle on a design until I can put it on properly, however I cannot don said articles until I stick everything down. 

(for the record, the bottom one with straps -upper arm piece- is basically just thrown on. It still has a lot of arranging work to go yet.)

And I need to paint the plastic pieces. and work out how to attach things. But I’ve been working on these three for a solid 4 hours today, and if I don’t make up my mind soon, I don’t think I ever will. 

Thank you for your encouragement, BFF ;)

Tell me what you think. Business Card design for BlueFairyWren. 

I made the background on colourlovers.com using an available design and my own colour palette, I found a stock picture of a blue fairy wren and edited it myself to get a silhouette, and found fonts on dafont.com. Put together in sumopaint.com

What do you think? 

I want to order cards through vistaprint soon, but not until I’m certain that it’s the best design. 

Does it need anything more? Have I missed something obvious? All helpful critics wanted. 

Please! advice desired!

the lovely Lara at BlueFairyWren wanted to see my business stationary… so here’s a card and the notepad I use.

GIRL You’re so organised!!!

It’s so sweet and I love the style and colours :)

On a completely unrelated note, your Christmas present might not get there in time for christmas, but it will be straight after <3

An origami lily handcrafted from the pages of a retired copy of Neil Gaiman’s “A Doll’s House” on a bamboo stem. (via Comic Book Lily by Oru (to fold) on Storenvy)

These are beautiful, and clever, and special. I’m personally eyeing off some to make a table centerpiece! check out the gorgeous things Sarai has for sale at Oru!

Buy Handmade this Christmas.
