Hey Vicky:) I just saw your tutorial in the Step by Step mag and wanted to send you a congratulations! I always feel so pleased to see people that I "know" from our online community. Take care and have fun making your wildly creative beauties!
Thanks Shay & Tracy! The tutorial is my first ever - so I was very happy - and I got paid!!!! Its funny isn't it - you get that gut feeling when something doesn't feel quite finished.
I was in line at the crack of dawn waiting to board a plane, crapping on endlessly to my partner about this ring.. how it was pink felt with REAL plant growing out of it..yes.. a ring..you wear it... and getting stares from serious men in suits... so much fun
Grrl+Dog - thats funny! (but not about being awake at the crack of dawn).
Andrea - yes its a real plant! I think that air plants are supposed to be difficult to kill? They only need a splattering of water every 2 weeks in summer and every 4 in winter - plus the felt doesn't mind getting a bit wet! So far so good!
I'm the cephalopod loving redhead behind Ginga Squid studio. In previous lives I've been an engineer, accountant, scuba instructor and most recently - a mum to 2 gorgeous little kiddies (well they are most of the time)!
I love creating things - it keeps me sane. I particularly love sourcing interesting, unusual and rare natural gemstones and fossils (its my equivalent of a shoe addiction).
I also love colour - bring it on!
I like to use beads in my work that I can buy Fair Trade from developing countries, so helping the craftspeople directly.
