I made these green beads completely by accident, just from a random folding of 2 greens and 2 yellows together; i’d been intending to mix them completely. The mixtures gradually formed a striped band which i just cut into more or less matched rectangles, gently rounding off the cut edges a little, then gently pierced [...]

First go at doing something like this; it was immensely satisfying though and i shall be doing it again. i was away from home and only had Fimo Soft to hand, which isn’t ideal for canes, but it came out okay i thought.

I really must learn to spike heads on to cocktail sticks too as this one dropped back in the over slightly and really spoiled the effect. And when i’ve done that, i must practise faces!
Her hair is perhaps my favourite bit; thin tapes (squashed sausages) of copper fimo twisted lightly and then secured on the [...]

Overall, i wasn’t pleased with this particular fairy, which is why you won’t be seeing anymore of her than this, but i did like the colours and her hair and something about her shape. I didn’t sit down and make her all in one go though and she just didn’t feel quite right. Still, something [...]

I made this scene as a Secret Santa present; both of us had been obsessed with a Nintendo game called Animal Crossing and this scene features details from the game as well as all of the 5 of them doing the stuff they might do, where they trapped in the game, including Steve on the [...]

My first attempt at a realistic figure; i had personal reasons for making this and chose not to give either the woman or the tiny baby a face, partly because i’m no good at them and partly because i wanted them to be distinctly enigmatic.
I started with the bodice, thin fimo wrapped around waste clay [...]

This angel has bed hair, crumpled wings and a wonky halo. What HAS she been up to?

Working on it, working on it. The trick to floaty dresses is to make a pillar of waste clay inside, then drape a thin sheet of your dress colour over the top, then nip and tuck to taste

I’ve had a challenge to make some Christmas tree fairies and angels. These are my first goes; i’m quite pleased with the one on the left.

My children want to know if this is how fairies are born… someone finds them in a rosebush? I’ve no idea, though i’ve never heard of a fairy maternity hospital so it could be. I think there is a mummy looking for this one though.
