When Business Take's Over

Wow! 

It's been a very long time since I've posted on here. Since... July last year, ouch. I've now started selling online and at conventions, and it has been a wonderful time, I've been to Manchester, Glasgow, London, Birmingham, Dundee and allover the North East England. I wouldn't change it. 

Well other than not having a regular income from a regular job, but fingers crossed for a XMAS temp job :)

This is me and the Charles Bazaar stall at LFCC this year, and holy heck, it was amazing. People were lovely there, the guests were fantastic, and we had a great stall next to us. Just, I do wish I could drive, lugging all of the stock, displays and barely having room for clothing is a little bit of a nightmare, but this can be something to aim to do in the future.

My next plan is to update this blog, hopefully merge it with my Charles Bazaar tumblr account and work on general social media, if anyone has any hints or tips, please let me know :)

Charles Bazaar Giveaway Part 2!

So we've shown what prints there will be for the giveaway, now Charles Bazaar jewellery :D

I found this really hard to decide, as I love all my jewellery, and I know a lot of people have certain favourites, so I tried to include a  lot of them.

I choose to have items of jewellery from my fandom series, We have Doctor Who, Sherlock, Lord of the Rings, Pokemon and a few extra's :)

Doctor Who Earrings (Fez and bow-tie)

Mew Necklace (Made from Hama beads)

BBC Sherlock charm bracelet

Lord of the Rings Lembas Bread necklace

A wee Sailor Moon Magnet (Transformation brooch)

Brave Heart Lion Cameo Necklace (Carebears)

So I think I have a nice selection of goodies up for grabs, though looking at it now, it kinda looks feminine :( I have to stop that for the future!

The Walking Dead 400 Days DLC

A bit late to the gun show I know, we had the new Walking Dead DLC come out last Thursday. This isn't a story about Clem or any of the original members of season 1.

400 days isn't season 2, it's 5 mini episodes just to tide you over till season 2. While playing you'll notice that your choices in season 1 can be seen in these episodes, such as with Russell, hide and you'll see someone familiar.

Again, with Russell, you meet this weird fella, Nate? And one thing you might not notice is the shot out light on his truck, hmm. When you play Wyatt you shoot out someone's front light, could Nate be the one who was chasing Wyatt and his friend Eddie? What about the prison guard who ran away from Vince's story, then Wyatt/Eddie hits, that Russell has the option of killing at the gas station.

Even though it's DLC, there are so many options to it, and the only time you can see the effects is the end, where you see you will possibly be joining you at a later date.

Feeling to much excitement for season 2!

Now I'm going to link you to my favourite Let's Play (I'm a total Yogscast Hannah fangirl)

Life of a 23 year old

So instead of going to Cosplay on the Tyne, ran by Sunnycon, I decided to stay in and work on my Aragorn cosplay.

Slightly regretting this as the photos are getting uploaded, getting drunk on a boat, surrounded by fellow geeks,why wasn't I there! :(

O well, at least I got a fair bit of my cosplay done, bag for my belt is done, currently painting the elvish hunting dagger right now, then get to attach it all to my belt.

And! I'm going to be a cosplay judge at Cherricon, woop woop!

More Legend of Zelda goodies!

I didn't get a chance to update the little bit of stuff I made before NERG, I adore the LOZ style!

Someone liked my Piranha Plants that I made (coming up soon) and wanted to commission me for something but they didn't know what yet!

Later that night I received a message asking if I could make a Hyrule Shield, pfft, course I could!

I changed the way that I had the bottom of this, with the Piranha Plants I had polymer clay as the pot, and I figured that I couldn't use that for this, then realised I could make wee stands with hama beads, I love it!

Hope you guys like this I know I enjoyed making it :)

Pokemon!

Gotta catch em all!

So I've been making some Pokemon goodies, and I remembered to snap some pictures of the in-progress-ness :)

And here's the starters

Pika pika!

 Jigglypuff

And I tried to make some cameos, which was fun!

I enjoy making Pokemon jewellery as I grew up with it (Saturday mornings anyone??) was so good! I need to make more Pokemons, just unsure which ones, maybe Gengar, Mewtwo, Charizard and oters.
