Ghost bride

This doll is made of plaster gauze. I made the shape of it using wire and a little bit of clay for the upper torso and then i covered them all with the plaster gauze. I used lace to make the dress details. 
I know i've done a lot of mistakes with this one. For example, i should have put the hands in a better position before the plaster get dry and hard. Now i can't fix it. I also should have worked the plaster better to make sure that the shape of the gauze would not be visible. I can't fix that either.  
Anyway... I will know better next time. 
So... what do you think???

"Resting on the Presents"

My little rabbit is sleeping on the snow globe, 
surrounded by presents. 
One can always dream... 
I made this last night. 
I started around 23:00 and finished it around 01:00 in the morning. 
So, Christmas might have found me all alone (as i am always) 
but at least i was doing what i love the most. 
I was drawing :-)
This is the uncoloured version of my little rabbit 
sleeping on the snow globe :-)

Hot pink mini yarn hat

And this is another mini hat. 
This colour is really sneaky. 
It is a really hot pink 
but it looks like orange under strong light 
(like my camera's flash light)  -_-
 This time there is a picture with instructions 
included in the post :-)

Snow Maiden

Let me introduce you my little Snow Maiden. 
Dressed in white and turquoise, 
she is perfect to match the icy colours of winter.
I made a bonnet this time, not just a wig or a hat. 
It was easier than i thought it would be :-)

Turquoise braids wrist warmers

This is a very beautiful colour. 
You could say it's a colour for baby clothes. 
I really love it.
The pattern is braids again. It's getting easier to knit them. 
Soon i'll be searching for a new pattern to learn :-P 
Restless??? Maybe i am :-) 
There's nothing bad in that :-D

"It is through art and through art only 
that we can realize our perfection;
Through art  and art only 
that we can shield ourselves 
from the sordid perils of actual existence."

"Frozen" wine glass - candlestick

This is a small wine glass painted with acrylic colours. 
It has perfumed sand inside, in order to stabilise the candle.
The snowflakes on it are probably the only snowflakes 
i'm going to see,
since it never snows here where i live... :-(
Below there is a picture with the same wine glass, but empty.

Colourful braids wrist warmers

I really love this colourful yarn. 
I had it on the shelf for weeks but i didn't know 
what i could do with it. 
When i had the chance i bought some more and i made these :-) 
This yarn is a little more thick than the others i have used so far. 
It was a little more hard to knit it but it worths it. 
The wrist warmers fit on the hands much better 
and they are much warmer!
