Now I've got some clay competition with pancake in the wearable section yay! Nice job:)

i have some scarves in the wearable category too!
unless i'm no competition lol ;)

Linnea: Of course you are silly! I meant, another clay project. I can't make scarves, so that is neat.

i'm not much with clay things, but i would definitely buy a set of your earrings and pancake's hair clip and cell charm!
very crafty indeed!

Blossom :)

Your penguin earrings are adorable!

And clay is the only talent I have! LOL!

I'm so bummed right now, D:
I took a picture of the presents I wrapped for my boyfriend, but I forgot to put my picture on it. >;

Ah well I suppose.. dummy me. ;__;

Is there anything in the background of the pics we could use as an identifier? And then you could just take a pic in that same spot with your username in it?

Uhmm, there's my blanket and dresser/things in my dresser? :'3
The blanket is pretty much in the same spot, I just folded it up again from this morning~

That sounds like it might work. :) Wanna give it a try?

Yupps, I'll do it in just a bit. c:

Category: Gift Wrapping
Description: These are just the gifts for my boyfriend. I wrapped others, for my family, but they opened them before I even had a chance to take a picture. xD And since I was seeing him later in the day, his were still there. c: I've never really put ribbon on presents before, so it was new to me (I'm so simple with presents. D: ). I planned on making a bow out of the ribbon, but I failed miserably so I just ended up putting a pre-made bow on it instead, but it still looks really nice. ^^

Picture with Username - Username close up & readable


If those don't work Belly, just lemme know and I'll do more. c: iPod's don't take the best of pictures, so I apologize. D:

Category:Single Ornament
Description: Angelic Teddy Bear. Made this for my Mum and used random stuff around the house. Used some old lace, sort of opalescent ribbon, sparkly paper, thread, beads, puff balls, old jewelry and feathers. The inside is made of a small pot (normally used for plants) and a small bell. So it's a bell as well as an ornament.
Entry: Ornament with name tag, Ornament without name tag, Ornament bottom/inside, Ornament back.

Description: My Christmas tree! We have a main one, but I decided a few years ago to have a full sized, 6 1/2 foot one in my room! The color theme is purple, green, and blue and the star is a fantastically sparkly sea star. Oh and bonus points for the Kermit the Frog hat on top of my Buddha head ;)

Description: This is a nifty little picture I made with colored sand:) I am thinking it would be in the ornament category, cause it can hang line ornaments do :)
Entry:

It was quite a bit of work! Wish you could see the stars in person, they are really pretty with many different kinds of paper.

Yay! More entries! :boogie:

Category: Gift Wrapping
Description: These are the presents I wrapped for my family. I didn't make the paper (or the little red boxes) but I actually did make all the bows by hand, out of flat ribbons and tape. I had no boxes so some of the squishy stuff made for some fascinatingly odd-shaped packages.
Entry: The Pile, Simple Bow, Loop Bow, Traditional Pointy Bows (these were sort of hard to do, but really satisfying to look at once completed) ^_^

I has entries. Hope one big post is ok. :)

Category: Decorative Spread
Description: This is the garland and wreathes we decorated our front door with. It's store bought plastic "pine" garland with added lights, gold glittery poinsettias, pine cones, little "berries", glittery mesh ribbon and some glittery words. There's still glitter on the floor from constructing this thing weeks ago. It was made on the kitchen floor and then put around the doorway with finishing touches like the words added. The wreathes are really simple with poinsettias and bows. Mom made the bows, I'm horrible at bows. >_>
Entry: Door Garlands and Wreathes and Wreath Closeup with name
The name's a bit fuzzy, but it's the same cookie take I've used in all of my other entries. :)

Description: This is a gift wrapped in "homemade" gift wrap with a bow made of the same. I recycled some pages of a food magazine to wrap the gift and also made the bow out of the same food magazine :D You can see some of the text on the bow and the wrapping paper.
Entry: Front of gift with homemade bow and Back of Gift

The gift wrapping entries come with a bonus video :D I was trying to take pictures but the puppies wanna play! Introducing Niku and Opie as the Photoshoot Wreckers ^_^;;



Please excuse my coughing and the broken chair that I just dragged into the spare room >_>;; Stupid chair.

Okay! I don't think I'll be able to do that terrarium I mentioned, but as you know I've created an ornament. I also have two other things I'm going to enter once they're finished.

Question for you, though, Belly. I'm carving two little figurines that go together. They're not part of a big scene, but they do go together, so it's not exactly singular. Can I enter them together in the single ornament category, or do they need to go in the spread category? I'd rather put them in the single ornament category, if I could.

You can put them in the single ornament category if you'd prefer. :) I'm happy that you're entering! :heart:

Now I have entered all three. Hurray!

Silverbeam - Your sugar gliders are absolutely adorable!


Yay, I'm finally all done with the crafts I made for this! I wanted to enter them all at once because... because I don't know, but that's why I'm only just now sending these in. I finished the last thing just mere minutes ago.

Description: Woodland Gnomes - These little gnomes were hand-carved (or rather, whittled) by yours truly from firewood (what's more wintry than firewood?) and painted in acrylic paint. The only part of their construction that I did not particpate in was cutting them down to size (I don't trust myself with a saw), and gathering the firewood in the first place (a feat done by my mother). Despite looking relatively simple, these were rather labor intensive to make. Armed only with a buck knife, the project had to be spread out over the better half of a week and resulted in a few pulled muscles and sore fingers. While not inherently winter or holiday-related, I think their woodsy, folk-art style is very warm and wintry-looking, and I can just see some little child playing with them in a cabin up in the mountains.

Description: Felt "Trippy" Owl Ornament - Made from felt, googly eyes, some rather trippy fabric, a couple of feathers, and some pages from what seems to be a very bad book, this little owl is ready to hang from a branch and add some funky character to his tree!
Entry: Trippy, sans tree

Category: Wearable
Description: Winter Feather Headband - The crowning jewel (ha) of my recent projects, I'm quite proud of how this turned out. I started with a cheap little hot pink headband, and using hot glue, covered it in a mottled brown material, and then black lace over that (which is no easy feat when the lace was made curved, like to go around a hem or something). After cutting out a teardrop shape from a cardboard box, I covered it in a lovely fabric (although you can't see it very much), and then picked out the perfect feathers from my stash, trimmed them to size, carefully affixed them, attached this gorgeous button, and glued the whole thing onto the headband. Voila! Though it ended up looking a bit victorian, I think the warm browns and feathers are quite appropriate to the winter season, and I hope you feel the same way.

Being worn (it was very difficult to take this shot myself, and it would have been even more so if I had tried to include the name tag in there, I hope you don't mind - it is present in the other shots. Also, do excuse my messy hair, I swear I comb it... I just have a lot of breakage.)

Looking through the previous entries, we have some seriously skilled crafters here! I'm very impressed by everyone's entries! Not a single one looked iffy. I don't stand a chance against you guys! :lol:
