Wildfire and True Luv 4 Evah!

I've been working on a package of Game of Thrones goodies for a crafty buddy. Last night I made a little bottle of Wildfire... and then things just sort of grew.

A table full of glowy green vials of dangerous stuff, scrolls, bowls and more.

Can we talk about my hands for a second. I have serious envy when I see other lady crafters hands in vids and pics. Beautifully manicured nails, clean, long delicate lady-like fingers! And here's my forever grotty grungy digits. My filthy uneven nails. My little kid hands. *sigh* I do like that they reflect work... but a day of dainty would be nice once in a while.

But, I digress... the little table is an inexpensive and wobbly wooden thing from the kids section of a discount store. The vials can be found HERE. The little bowls and jugs are made from air dry terra cotta clay.

I also made a little mixed media matchbox...

Jon Snow + Ygritte 4evah!

I did love those two as a couple but I'm much more of a Littlefinger or Sandor groupie than a Jon Snow girl. "Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is." Yeah, baby!

Time to pack up all these bits and send them on their way. I hope she likes them as much as I've enjoyed making them for her.

And a happy Monday to you, lovely! There seems to be an epidemic of the 'blahs!' going around so I hope the world is nice to you today.

  5. Don't even get me started on the hands subject. I have very tiny hands and short fingers and nails that never grow. All I ever wanted to do was play guitar but my fingers are so short that is never going to happen. My Mother has the most beautiful long fingers with perfect manicured & polished nails and I always was in awe of them. That aside your friend is one lucky person as this project/gift is just amazing. Does your brain ever rest? You just pump out once amazing project after another. Wonder if I can bribe the postal man to deliver it here instead. Fantastic job.
