Easter Fun Style!

Part Two: When glue gun runs out of glue and all of the stores are closed - improvise and do something totally different! So here are some random 'Eastery' photos I took.



A little Easter magic shooting right out of my pastel blue nails!



My 'whimsical' Alice in Wonderland expression:



I really liked the perspective of this shot. Note tiny cat to the left.
I also have freckle centered on my upper lip, and you
can see it fairly well here.



I think I look like a mischievous little Faerie here, hehe:



A not-so-posed pic of me and Hon-Hon. 



I found this really cute candle stick holder from Value Village a week or so ago, and fell in love! I think it looks so cute filled with Easter candies, and will look enchanting on my balcony, where I'm making a tiny Faerie garden.



Close up of the top tulip part of the candle holder & the goodies:



I hand sewed this wrist cuff out of fabrics, ribbons, and random pretties I discovered at the fabric store. It's inspired by the Victorian era (the colour pallet), and the textures and layering and over all excessiveness, is inspired by the French Baroque period. I also painted my nails a pastel colour that suited the creme colours of the fabrics. I think it looks so enchanting next to an old illustration from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. (*´▽`*)



A close up of the fabric and beads and sequins. ^_^



Here is another view of the wrist cuff. If I can master sewing these, I might even post some for sale! (´ ▽`)



Tomorrow, if I can get a hold of some glue sticks for my glue gun, I'll start work on my Easter/Spring craft. 



Did you celebrate Easter? Details please! ♡^▽^♡

    1. Thanks girly! :) I loved making the cuff. I really need to experiment with sewing more. And yes! It is soooo frustrating when you go out and get everything you think you need, come home, and realize you don't have a very basic component to crafting... GLUE! So out come the needle and thread :P

    1. Thanks Ali! :) Yeah I'm a total no0b at sewing too! I remembered how to do basic stitches from home-ec class (about a billion years ago), and just tried to make the stitches as secure and 'attractive' as I could. :P
