Snow cube

It's that time of the year again where a lot of us are running around trying to work out what to buy as gifts.

This year I am going to try to make as many as possible and some of my friends and family might be getting their gifts a little early as I will be making them decorations and I would like for them to get some use this year,

The first gift that I made is this one.  This tag binder can be used for so many things from to do lists, to a calendar, to a mini album.

Here is a tutorial on how to make it.  You can get the tag and the embellishments (but not the ring binder) that I used from Fernli Designs.

The second gift that I have made is also my latest DT make for Fernli Designs.  This is the Snow Cube.  I love this project and I have ideas for loads more.

Here is a video explaining how to make one yourself and showing more views.

I hope you like them.

I'm off to play some more.  Thanks for looking.

Man stuff

I have been doing a lot of pink and girly lately and I felt the need to get back to my comfort zone and make some thing a bit Steampunk inspired.  Now normally I find it hard to come up with a masculine type make, but this one almost made itself.  I was in the zone.

Made from a wooden book box, the outer dimensions measure 180mm x 135mm x 80mm ( approx 7 x 5.5 x 3.25 inches) and the inner dimensions are 150mm x 108mm x 68mm ( approx 6 x 4.25 x 2.75inches)

I love working with these boxes.  There are just so many things that you can do with them.  And the fact that I have them in three different sizes, just adds to the fun.

I think that adding feet to this one really set it off.  Made if feel chunkier.

There are two clocks on this piece.  One on the top and one dangling from the chain.

If you would like to know more about this piece, you will soon be able to see it at Nyron Designs

I'm off to do some more crafting.   I have an idea for another one.
