If only I was 15 again

Little hair pins. I wish I knew I could do this with a bobbypin in Year 9.

Separated at Birth





Oh dear. Kyles Mum was once a glamourpuss, that is until her eyes went all buggy, probably because Kyle weighed about 10lb. I've seen that happen before.

oooh la la

This is my newest addition to my growing Etsy family. I had the design for this one in my head for a while and purchased the tulle for it a few weeks ago. I had a feeling that it would end up looking shite. One of those times where the idea in your head looks fantastic, but when you make it, it looks rotten beyond compare. This ended up getting better with time, but the red/white lace trim I got from my local op-shop sealed the deal. It's not a bag I could use, as it would end up looking grey before I step out the door, but I know there are people out there who are not grubby and keep everything pristine.

Who does this?



Did someone walk home without shoes?

Breakfast of Champions

No, it's not weetbix, or fruitloops, or the variety pack. It is a young fathers worst nightmare circa 1992. This t-shirt was designed by the beautiful model Gareth last year for a threadless submission. It was rejected for obvious reasons but now thanks to modern technology it is here today. It is fresh off the press so smells like headaches and needs another layer of bread colouring as it ended up a little two tone due to a crease in the newspaper underneath.
I have promised him a printed top for almost a year (probably longer) and the day has finally come.

Emerald

New addition:


Available at annalaura.etsy.com





This print was going to be for a collabroation with
SweetTOriginals however some of the prints didn't turn out perfect, so I made these from the ones that did.

I have now made a new print to send to SweetTOriginals which is much more detailed and complex and no mistakes.

dollface

I've been making some more felt badges and this is my favourite so far:


I'm planning on selling them here when I have a few more. I thought the white hair would look grannyish but she pulled through with the help of a red bow.

Clown School Dropout

This ended up being much harder than I first thought. I accidentally inversed the colour as I printed light onto a dark t-shirt and the clown ended up looking like a monkey. I managed to fix the problem by printing a few more colours over it, but it wasn't until I had a few wines that I appreciated it. I made it for my cousins 18th, thus the badge.

Wildebeests are so back in fashion

This is my new wildebeest creation. I made one last night but the zip part was bent. I decided I would keep it and make another one tonight, which is this one:


He is going around and around




It's Wilde inside



I think I might do some more dark brown prints on white to make up as bags. The material isn't something I would normally use, but once made up it looked much better.


I got a new iron as my old one broke. I have wanted a Tefal iron for a year, now I finally had a reason to get one.


The biggest highligh so far though, featured item on Etsy. Here is the little fellow:


White buttons red dots




and thanks to Rachel and Jennifer for pointing it out for me!
