GLASS ENGRAVING | LORD OF THE RINGS INSPIRED WINE GLASSES




GLASS ENGRAVING


so engraving the glasses was more of a faff on than i expected. more because im slightly daft and didnt think of charging the dremel before i started! it meant last tuesday when i sat down all ready with my laptop and the tele on, all comfy on my mum and dads bed ready for a long good go at the glasses the charge only lasted about 1/10 of the way through one glass.






i tried to leave it to charge for half an hour or so and have another go but it died so quickly i decided the better option was to give up and have a go on the wednesday!




okay once i had well and truley charged the dremel for hours it was crazy, my hand went numb and felt like it was going to drop off! i managed to control the dremel and got going.



okay so i admit i completely forgot i needed to wear a mask until about half way through my first glass it will be sergically attached from now on dont worry!


MIDDLE EARTH.

i managed to get alot more done (i will keep it under wraps until after my sisters birthday of course)
but yes it was another overnight charge for the dremel and so on and so on.




for some reason whenever theres a day when im going to get any sort of white mess on me (normally clay) i some how gravitate to black clothes ..okay people who know me know i do have a mostly black wardrobe but fully plain black clothing? it was just asking to be messed up!
 SODS LAW!


my mum and dads bed is so comfy!


cant wait to give sarah the glasses!! i get to give her them on saturday when we go to leeds to see her and her boyfriend dave. we are also going to stuff our faces in reds. ive never been before but by the sounds of the menu i cant wait to eat my own body weight in food!



 #HASHTAGS.





i didnt get what hashtags were for at first i thought they were just a bit of extra detail which is kind of what many people use them for and since ive learnt they help people find new peoples profiles. i now use them myself to have a big motivational/inspiring mooch looking at other artists but i always forget to do them myself. i always wonder if people would find it annoying if i did it so it makes me not sure but considering i use them for the reason i would want others to use them for to find me maybe i should give it a go!
#hmmmm



peace out!

WEEKEND | FAMILY




PHOTOGRAPH.


when i get properly dressed (not very often) and have extra time (also not very often!) i take a photograph of my outfit so i can draw it sometime.

it was abit harder today than unsual because the sun was bleeming right into my already squinty eyes!

i ended up just laughing in half the photos.
heres the outtakes from the otherwise very serious looking photos...


trying my hardest to keep my eyes open instead i look drunk

okay it hurts i give up
me picturing my lurvely squint eyes in the photographs
sun go awayyy
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!


FAMILY + FRIENDS TIME.


i had a few days away from the glass engraver this weekend to have some family and friend time.
we got to look after ruby my little cousin. shes just learnt to walk and is saying and copying every word under the sun! she now knows my name and had me running about after the cat while she shouted 'find it! find it! cat meoww' so cute!








i love feeding animals. the male goat wasnt the nicest mind shuving the little kids out the way to get at my food ..so i ran and quickly feed the babies before the dude could catch up!


NAME GAME.


okay me and my sister meg have a really random game we always play when where sat at a craft fair or in a traffic jam or something and it totally entertains us! we see people we dont know and decide what there name is and random details about there life. it ends up being hilarious because we manage to think up names that fit the person so well. some people (or probably all) are probably thinking what the hell but beleive me its funny and totally entertaining!

so because we play the name game we randomly call everything names including animals...


JERRY.
GEOFF.
FREDA.
BESSIE.
CHANTELLE.
CRAZY CHANTELLE!


BIG KID.


i love how having a little girl with you makes it socially exceptable (ish) to play!
i think i was enjoying it even more than the kids there!








TRACTOR.


i really like brightly painted metal things im not really sure why! especially when it flakes off and goes rusty!
so i was my strange arty freaky self and took some photos.









peace outtt
