After a busy morning buying a sausage roll maker… 😆and then doing all of my Wednesday chores. I whipped up some sublimation glasses cleaning cloths. They turned out super cute. I need to print off some full page designs, and I’m also going to attempt to do both sides ( tricky with sublimation). Now to tackle the craft bit of my studio and sort all my ephemera for some paperpacks I think🤔. #maker#melbourne#lockdown#craft#allthecrafts#igetboredquickly#papercrafts#ephemera#sorting#tidying

Freaking.Nailed.It!!!🥰😁this the matte formula I’m now loving, you can see it just applied and after it’s has dried down. The colour is perfection, and the formula is really nice to wear. I was doing a little happy dance after I applied it to my lips.💃🏼Second pic is the strand of tourmaline that I shared last week. My lord it took FOREVER!!! I haven’t beaded for a very long time. And the finished dried pastels in the last pic, the burnt umber was pretty useless, but the black was nice! That one had more binder I think, so definitely worth noting. Happy day making, wherever you are!!! #maker#melbourne#lipstick#colour#theperfectred#wishwedidnthavetowearmasksinside#diy#formula#matte#art#artistsupplies#homemade#jeweller#jewellery#silver

Ok here goes! This is the first time I’ve made pastels. It doesn’t seem much different from making Watercolours or Acrylics, just a different binder. (That was my little jar I shared earlier this week). It took some mulling to really get it mixed nicely. I made one with burnt umber as well, it looks like a literal 💩! Lol! They need to dry for about 48 hours. And working with pigments it’s not for the faint hearted, the tiniest speck turns into a massive hard to clean streak😆 this is why I wear mostly black!! #maker#melbourne#diy#artsupplies# @langridgeartistcolours#pastels#lovemymuller#drawing#landscape#stilllife#neverstoplearning

Miscellaneous indeed, I know my DH loves finding random art/cosmetic/things in our fridge! 🤣luckily I have a miscellaneous tub in there so he knows not to touch it! This is a CMC (similar to Gum Tragacanth) mix I’m I’m hoping to use for making my own Pastels. Similar to making water colours and acrylics. We shall see hey? #maker#melbourne#art#pastel#diy#colour#mixing#artistmaterials#icantotallymakethat

Finally cracked the formula for my matte liquid Lippy base!!! After lots of research I think I’ve done it!!! I had another recipe awhile back and the base was awful, it had too much titanium dioxide in it, ( it was a formula from a book I have) it looked great when I swatched it, but super pasty and gross on. So back to researching! I made a new base yesterday and I could tell straight away it was better, I added colour to it today and it’s pretty nice. The pink is super Barbie pink, it was a test more than anything, but the plum one it super nice. The base is a formula from @tkbtrading which promptly meant a placing a new order for more supplies🤭#maker#melbourne#liquidlipstick#longwear#matte#colour#anycolouriwant#

Ooooooo soooooo pretttty!!! I’m not exactly sure

Ooooooo soooooo pretttty!!! I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do with these faceted rondelle tourmaline beads yet. Will need to rifle through my bead stash (hoard) I’ve kept all my beading stuff from 15 years ago. Never had the heart to get rid of it. #maker#melbourne#setter #jeweller #silver#tourmaline#beads#beading#craft#precious#semiprecious#strand
