Lady Grey’s Tea Party

Well isn’t this a surprise! I actually made something! It was a friend’s birthday on Sunday so I thought I would make her something for a gift. She makes chunky beaded bracelets and she likes to draw skulls, hearts and stars on every available surface, including people if you stand still long enough. So combining these two hobbies, we have skull and heart beads!

Inspired by all the etsy sculpey and fimo users and their fab creations.

I spent a relaxing afternoon watching The Office (British version) on dvd and getting brown lint and fingerprints embedded permanently into their little baked bony heads. I like to think of it as character, spotty, graying, slightly hairy, character. It is the little things, like lint and fingerprints that give an item that hand-made feel. Some might call that unfinished, or unprofessional, or poor quality. But I prefer to call it ‘the personal touch.’

These are simply brimming with ‘the personal touch,’ which thankfully can’t really be noticed from a distance. I think she liked them…
