Midas Touch

Hello All,

I don't know how many of you have this tick, but I sure do. I have this truck loads of stuff that sometimes gets forgotten and relegated to a corner. And then, one fine day, I find it and go berserk! I try every possible craft with it1 :D Today's "refind" was my gold pen which is a treasured possession from Stockholm. Since I was anyway considering doing a pair of earrings with a terrific finish (after I found someone's picture on the Net where the design was way toooo similar to what I had made but only the finishing was 100 times better). The "Midas Touch" pen came in handy and I painted the town (ok ok, just the earrings :D) gold.......so here goes: Midas Touch :)

And ya, I was asked why I always have that one strip surrounding my entire earring? Reason: Sturdiness. I am a very mechanical engineering obsessed crafter. My earrings have to have that sturdiness element. Just a tight coil on top will come off in a snap and I can't bear to spoil my hard work because of that ONE weak link :)

Happy Quilling

Narangi amalgamation

Hello All,

Now that I am kind of over my allergy, today was a day of hard-work (while the rest of the nation celebrates it as a holiday!) :) I had missed crafting and it shows in my desperation to do SOMETHING! Anything! :D

So, here comes.......my Orange (narangi = orange, both fruit and colour) Amalgamation earrings. The pattern on the earrings is a modified MS Punch-All-Over-The-Page punch, the base orange is hand-made paper (hand-cut circles), the 'white lines' on the earrings are using a white roller gel pen (I've a thing for drawing things myself), the ghunghroos were almost an afterthought and I like them there :) Just warming up for that BIG project I've had on my mind for a while :)

Happy Quilling
