My first Journal

Hello Everyone!

This is my first handmade Journal, I chose a Gorjuss Theme because I just love it. Also I did some bookmarks with cords and beads to match. I didn't really know what I was going to do with it, exactly, but I love to write and I figured I’d fill it up eventually.












Now... more Gorjuss ! with this bookmark to match the journal.

Happy Birthday!! in yellow..

Hi Bloggers! 


Back from a busy week . Catching up on post, food shopping and other stuff! 
Here's today's card 


For the background I used a white hammered card and I embossed the about 3" with Sizzix square lattice embossing folder. I tied around a floral yellow ribbon and a bow with it.

I cut a medium circle with Xcut Nesting dies and I embossed it with Sheena Douglas Petit Floral folder.



Then, I cut other circle a bit bigger with Spellbinders Nestabilities - Elements - Lacey Circles and the Happy Birthday  die from Presscut in a yellow card.





Finally, I assembled the card as shown using a flower embellishment made from my handmade Cold Porcelain and some crystal drops for the corners!


Thanks for stopping by.

Jewellery in Cold Porcelain

Hi everyone!
Few weeks ago I did these lovely cold porcelain pendants. Totally hand crafted ( home-made cold porcelain, shaped, stamped, painted and sealed) with an original design. I used Kaisercraft vintage Handwriting Script stamp and I coloured the porcelain with metallic mica powders.

They has been sealed to endure light moisture as well as wear and tear. Also as they are made from cold porcelain they are lightweight and durable.

Here the wonderful pendants!!

Homemade Cold Porcelain

I have got several years working with cold porcelain, it has been used in a lot of my projects. The great thing about it is that you can make it yourself, it is easy and cheap. For me is far better than polymer clay.  There is no need to put the cold porcelain in the oven and also its non-toxic!! .The cold porcelain produce very durable results,  is very nice to work with and can be easily coloured.
Some people cook the douhg ! if you want to do it there are plenty of tutorials in youtube..


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240ml) of cornstarch/ corn flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) of PVA glue (PVA for Wood)
  • 2 tablespoons of vinegar/ lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of baby oil
  • Hand lotion (use in your hands durng the knead)

There are some tutorials on YouTube demonstrating the stove method. 

Mix together well and knead until smooth and elastic, adding more starch or glue if necessary. Wrap it tightly and store in an airtight container. You can add a little white oil paint , to give it a white colour when it dries. Otherwise, it will be translucent and kind of yellowish if left uncoloured.

 You can start  using it the next day!! Remmenber to use oil paint (colour choice is up to you)  to colour the dough before start modelling.
