Amazing gifts from Jane from Minifanaticus

Been silent a long time.... wedding preparations and work are taking up most of my time these days.

I received these fantastic gifts from the extremely talented Jane over at Minifanaticus. I fell in love with her Confucius snail last year and Jane was again very generous and send him to me, along with some other little critters. I love them all so so much! Jane is very talented in making minis but polymer clay is her speciality. I'm very ashamed it took me this long to post these wonderful gifts but time seems to get away from me very often these days. I think that September is going to be here tomorrow!

A mini furred rat!!

He's so tiny!! And just look at those details!

The lovely Confucius snail that started it all :) Jane's imagination is endless!!

And Confucius' steampunk cousin, hehehe

This little guy got a little banged up on the way... will try to fix him.

Thank you so very much for these precious darlings Jane! If any of you don't know her blog yet you must go and have a look! Jane also makes other wonderful magical minis, which you can buy in her Etsy store.

And since some of you asked for more things about the wedding, perhaps you'll want to take a look at the invitations I've made for the occasion :) These were a lot of fun to make but also a lot of trial and error.

Our wedding colours are as you can see are red, silver and white. It doesn't show on the photo but the basic card is a pearl colour and the red paper is flocked so it feels somewhat like velvet. I like that there are a lot of different textures as well as colours :) I will also create menu cards, name tags and thank you cards in the same style. Hopefully I'll have some time for minis in between everything.

Until next time!

Sorceress' study lantern aka birthday gift for my mum

Ok, I admit, I broke my promise. But I did have a good reason - my mum's birthday. Granted it's not until the 20th but I just had to make her gift now. I did write a few more pages of my thesis though so I decided to reward myself with some mini-ing :)

Remember that lantern I showed you a couple posts back? Well, it was meant for my mum's birthday anyway but I didn't exactly know what I'd put inside. This is what I came up with....

Before I added the back "wall". Everything on the table is glued on. If you look closely you will see many of my creations from the past year. Everything here is handmade by me (except the kitty and bottles, which I bought but filled myself).

One of the books from my Burnt Owl Book range, a wand, some test tubes, potions,..... Everything a respectable witch needs!

And this is the final product. I added the back since I wanted a hanging shelf which I decorated with some potions. And yes, I know, horrible pictures again. I had to take these with my boyfriend's phone since the battery on mine died and also the battery on our camera. Like it didn't want to get photographed!

I love the little kitty on the right! 

I finished everything today and me being me I couldn't wait two more weeks to give this to my mum. I gave it to her today and she was super thrilled. Thank god she loved it! I really like how it turned out too. The only thing that's bugging me a bit is possible dust in the future. As we all know dust is our worst enemy in minis. I couldn't get the door to close any other way and so I'm a bit worried that after a while dust might start settling on the inside, but other than that I love it!!

Ok, now I'll be good and finish my thesis.... at least as far as I can get without another consultation with my mentor. 

Until next time!
