In progress

A few more miniature portraits in progress! I'm not completely satisfied with all of them, I need to tweak them a bit before I move on to making the entire matchbox. They are Simone de Beauvoir and Edith Piaf, I;m happy with the first but even though I love how Piaf looks my sister confused her for Lucille Ball... So I'm thinking of maybe doing a portrait where her hair is longer? The other two are Agatha Christie and Louise Brooks, I like Brooks but I need to work on her lips a bit and unfortunately I'm not completely happy with Christie so I'll need to work on it more.

Wishing you a lovely day,

Bead necklaces in progress

I do love the way the wooden beads look  before they are painted and after, especially the after looks like brightly colored candy! It's been a while since I added new things in our jewelry shop but there will be some new things in the coming days, new wooden bead necklaces in fun color combinations :-)

Wishing you a lovely day,

Rainbows

Working with rainbow felt results in pretty rainbow scraps :-)

Wishing you a lovely weekend,

Early Christmas

My work space suddenly got very Christmassy :-)
Working on personalized trees and a garland! It's the perfect time for me as I can take things slow and not stress like I do when the holiday rush begins.

Wishing you a lovely new month,
Aleka

On my working table

Finally the ideas are flowing! I am working on some new matchbox designs and I have some ideas about cute things from felt too.
Hopefully I'll have some new additions for the shop soon :-)
Hope you have a great Friday,
Aleka

Paper and clay

Working on googly eyed owls from clay, I want to figure out some details before I can turn them into a listing. Also working on a new matchbox, soon to be in the shop, I have to admit it's turning out to be one of my favorites :-)
Enjoy your weekend,
Aleka

Work in progress

A small break turned out into a bigger one but that's life I guess :-)
The steps of making my All You Need matchboxes in green, now they are traveling to meet their new owner!

Hope you are having a lovely week,
Aleka
