SHOP UPDATE : Charms

I try to make it a point to list new items to my storenvy each day. I have a loooot to migrate there and here are some of the newest ...

not only that.....i also update my ETSY shop. I converted all of my listings to INSTANT DOWNLOADS. So you can get your purchases of digital collage sheets as soon as your payment clears!!! Then I added a new collage sheet design which has a NAUTICAL COLOR FUN THEME....

Available in 1 inch circles (25mm)..

In ovals both small (18mmx25mm) and large (30mmx40mm)... 

Here is what it would look like set in a round bezel... 

And here it is in oval bezels... 

It also looks great in this fancy setting...

The best thing about these digital collage sheets are that they are now available for INSTANT DOWNLOAD!!! I was very excited that ETSY added this new feature! Now, as soon as my customers pay for their digital collage sheets, they will automatially be provided a link where they can instantly download what they just have purchased..NO MORE WAITING!!! This is great because customers get what they want right away and at the same time, it's less work for me!!!

That's all for now...have a crafty and inspired day!!

Work in Progress

I'm working on some resin experiments right now..the worst part is the waiting...here take a look...

I have it covered with a sheet of plastic to keep the dust out since i have it out doors under the sun. They're not all full..I just filled up one or two per mold to try them out. 

I'm really trying to perfect the techniques and learn as much as I can before I offer my workshops on resin. It takes a lot of work to learn all the techniques and do research myself. I take a lot of notes and write down the tips that might help my future workshop students as much as possible.

So, the resin reveal will still be tmw. So for today, i will show you the digital collage sheets that I had printed in a photo processing shop...oh and it looks reallllly great professionally printed...

And a little sneaky peaky...since I am an impatient crafter...i just haaaad to pop out one of my resin pieces....and i love how it turned out...

tadaaaahhh...

Birds & Flowers Digital Collage

My newest collage sheet is the Birds & Flowers Sheet #056 and #057. It is a simple digital collage sheet with basic colors and very simple designs of flowers and birds. Very lovely for pendant graphics...

This sheet is available in my etsy shop in either 18mm x 25mm or 30mm x 40mm ovals

Digital Collage Test Prints

Yesterday I decided to do some test printing for my new digital collage sheets...

I wanted to try what they would look like in settings and I really looove how they came out....and im thinking of going ahead with a resin pour...

 This setting was a little smaller so i had to cut the image down slightly so it would fit...but it still works nicely

I really do like the 5x7 format since you can print out 2 5x7's on a letter size sheet...very economical. They're also cheaper to print out in photo printing shops compared to the larger 8x10 sheet. Less wasted space as well.  So from now all my sheets will be 5x7's .

I notice though that a lot of people create their sheets in 4x6 inch sizes. You can't fit much in that size...so i wasn't so sure what the pluses for that size is...i have yet to research.

Collage Sheets for Craft

Been on a collage making frenzy these past few days...the digital collage sheets really get the creative juices going and for sure this week I will be taking out the resin and encasing some of these in settings....here are more  to get your creative juices flowing as well...

Kokeshi Digital Dolls

I thought I'd come up with my own Kokeshi Digital Doll Collection...I worked on my first one all day. I decided to come up first with one face and have several different hairstyles and outfits for that one face.

I named my first "doll face"... ELLIE.

Inspiration for ELLIE started from doodles...actually a doodle of an eye...

Then her body is formed...

And after playing hairstylist and fashion consultant...I came up with my first dolls...The ELLIE COLLECTION.

Oh how I adore them! 

Each one has a first name and Ellie is the family name!

Ellie-Miu, Ellie-Mai, Ellie-Aya, 

Ellie-Shiori, Ellie-Chie, Ellie-Kei

Each name has a meaning...

Miu means "beauty" and "feather"

Mai means "dance"

Aya means  "colorful"

Shiori means "poem" and "weave"

Chie means "wisdom"

Kei means ""blessed lucky" and "happy"

Sooo much fun. I'm planning to make pendants from and also make them available in digital collages!
