Clay and Knitting: Colourful Fun

So, yesterday I had some fun doing various small crafting projects, and I thought today is as good a day as any to post the results. To begin with, a little about my first project.

I like polymer clay, because while being bright and colourful it is easy to work with and can make the cutest earrings. So, with that in mind I started work on my sister's birthday present, which is pictured.

The birthday present is the ward from League of Legends, pictured in the foreground and unfinished in the background. I also made her that plant just below the weighted companion cube earrings, as it relates to one of the champions in LoL.

Then, still unsatisfied with the number of clay earrings in my collection, I decided that adding a few more would be a great idea.

Yes. I made Minecraft earrings. Each little cube of TNT is about 1.8 x 1.8 x 1.8 cm, to put it into perspective. The diamond swords look quite awesome, but they did turn out quite thin, so care is required when wearing them. I have fiddled with clay creations before and broken them.

Finally, to round off my day of crafting, I decided what better way to spend my evening than knitting? This particular project has been on my mind for ages, and now that it's finally underway I'm very pleased.

I have started making gloves inspired by the ones Hermione wears in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, for which I found the colour chart here. In my version, the arrows are pointing the wrong way because of the way it's knitted, but it's close enough. Any closer and I might just go mad, because so far other attempts to replicate these gloves have been fruitless. 

Anyway, that's all I have for you today. I'm now going to go off and... I suppose I should study. Bye!

Welcome One, Welcome All.

So. I have a new blog. It's interesting, because I never thought I'd write one before two minutes ago. The whole reason is because my twin sister has a blog and... I thought it would be a good outlet for my thoughts. So, to begin with, an overview of what I will be posting:

What I Will Post:

I will post anything I feel like to do with knitting, sewing, cosplay, writing, reading, movies, TV shows, music and games. Yeah. I know.

When I Will Post it:

Whenever I feel like it. I really don't have any idea how much time I'll spend on this, but I'll try to post once a week or once a fortnight about interesting things.

Anything Else?

I think not. There's nothing more for me to say, but I think I'll post a bit about Minecraft to begin with, because that's what's been consuming my life, as well as my twin's, who is, by the way The Fantasy Intellectual.
