I may have a stockist for my resin.

My sister's friend has just opened a surf store in Port Stephens and is looking for pieces to stock.

I sent her some photos, and she likes them.

Here are some of the pix I sent:






I need to get samples and packaging together ASAP and put them in the post.

All going well, she'll give them a spin in the shop and see how they go.

The whole 'samples, ASAP' factor poses a minor problem, as I have no good resin... (see figure 1.1 in my last post).

A mercy mission to Sydney this weekend may be required.

But resin supplies aside, how exciting??

And what an excellent boot up the backside, given my recent motivational malaise.

P.S Big shout out to my amazing sister Kiwaaa, who is always looking out for me. (mwah!)

bah... easycast clear

Ahhhh... I had such grand crafting plans for this weekend. But alas... it was not to be (See figure 1.1).

Here we have my latest adventure in resin work:


Figure 1.1

In case you were wondering - it's not a beige coloured dog poo.

It's a bangle.

I'm trying a new resin at the moment called EasyCast Clear but I'm clearly doing something wrong.

Plus it's all shiny... I don't like it. Bah.

I'm going to invest in a few kilos of my old resin next time I'm in Sydney.

In other crafting news...

Meet Can-Can Man.

He makes a lovely addition to our lounge room wall, alongside Caleb's rather large spanner (See figures 1.3).

Can-Can Man is another of my not-so-brilliant recent crafting exploits.

I tried to get back into the swing of things with the sewing this weekend, rather unsuccessfully.

Things have been stupidly busy since starting my new job and this weekend was going to be all about beginning new projects. I ended up mass-producing a whole bunch of fabric wings for my owls... but that was all.

Didn't feel very inspired.

A big night out on Friday didn't help either, motivationally speaking.

You will be pleased to know my weekend was not a complete creative failure. I did make some rather excellent carrot cake muffins, see figure 1.4.



Next weekend will be a crafting ripper... I'm determined. Stay tuned.
