Kawaii Grunge and Pastel Goth

Whilst doing some late night research online I came across the styles of Kawaii Grunge and Pastel Goth. I thought it fitted my Trinkerbelle sense of humour so decided to start a range...I couldn't sleep for the ideas flooding in so had to start right away - very naughty considering I should be working on my designs for the Guerrilla Fashion Event II - Oh I am the very worst in procrastination. 

I hope you like these...I feel I will be making more.

One day I hope to be big in Japan.

私は日本が大好き
(I love Japan)

Hanging bunny.

Anarchy, grumpy care bear.

Woe is Doughnut.

'It can be kind of gruesome at times, making things alone.'

Still crazy busy but managed to do a few new designs last night that I love. The first one is a white glittery (Fimo Effect) butterfly who has been shot down...no actual butterflies were harmed in the making of this necklace. The idea came to me when I saw a picture of a beautiful white rose covered in blood - I loved the juxtaposition of pretty and girly and harsh and gory, definitely the Trinkerbelle way...I love how it turned out but think I might do a few more in different positions/colours and with tattier wings.

The next design I did came from some cartoon pictures I found online (there are loads of them) of a zombie Spongebob square pants...I was sure that loads of Polymer Clay artists would have attempted this but couldn't find any on google images - which I was very happy about as Trinkerbelle hates to copy. I love him, how can something be so gross and so cute at the same time? Poor little thing has lost an arm and gained some maggots.

P.S I uploaded these from my iphone and used a FREE app called eZy Watermark to sign it...it's so quick and easy to use.

I am currently working really hard on creating my first head pieces using a mixture of Polymer Clay, material and more. I want to make at least 3 to showcase at my Guerrilla Fashion Show https://www.facebook.com/events/453407461363472/?fref=ts at The Brighton Arts Club https://www.facebook.com/BrightonArtsClub?fref=ts on February the 16th...the one I am currently working on is titled 'A very English Submission and features all sorts of nautical naughtiness. This is my first time creating something this ornate and it's very exciting and a little bit scary...once I have finished I will put some pics up but for now here are a few things I made over the holiday period...

I am totally in love with Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory so made this little T-shirt as an ode to him...

Made this tiny JD bottle as a present to a friend. It is so hard to get a good photo of as it is ridiculously small.

An Alice In Wonderland themed cupcake key ring...so cute very pleased with the little clock. 

For I Can Raise No Money By Vial Means!

Yes I just misquoted Shakespeare and yes, it was worth it. Every now and then I make lots of teeny tiny things to go in a little vial necklace...

Every now and then I make something of epic cute proportions...this, is one of those things. A fairy love potion necklace. Includes 1 unicorns horn (died of natural causes obviously) rose petals plucked from the love fairies garden, a golden mushroom the rarest of all the mushrooms in fairy land, a tear shed by the wicked witch, a feather plucked from a sleeping silver angels wing and the only remaining writings of such a spell on an ancient scroll.

The perfect hangover cure, a vial of coffee beans with the cutest little mocha-chocca-cappa-chappa-doo-daa  with  extra cream  on the side.

My attempt at Christmas spirit.

Things Can Only Get Better!

Just a cute little robot girl.

Zombie eat your heart out necklace.

I totally love this guy - A lot of hard work went into him and I remember feeling very proud.

Love these guys...frothy beer...yum!

Probably my most popular design.

Mini handbags and hats currently on display at Brighton Arts Club.

Think I just wanted to make something uber girly and looks like I succeeded.

YUM!

Love the cloud.

A custom order AppleJack set.

Tough as old boots, very detailed - sold this at the Brighton Arts Shop.

A rose among the thorns - probably the most commercial piece I have made, got a great photo of it to.

This is another that I am very proud of, totally original. Geek meets Kawaii...so Trinkerbelle.

I made these after getting told of for not being cute and girly enough.

These didn't quite end up how I wanted them to, like the sushi though.

My little pony zombie necklace - not very original but had to give this one a go!

What's in your bag of swag? Trinkerbelles first attempt at a key ring

In the beginning the mood all changed...

Here are some examples of my early work (in no particular order) some I love, some make me cringe but I thought you would like to see my progress none the less. At first I used online tutorials etc. but I decided almost instantly that I wanted to be very original and quickly gained my quirky Trinkerbelle style. I experimented a lot and there was plenty that never made it into the oven...my advice would be to never think of anything as a waste, I have learnt so much from the things that have gone so badly wrong. Through research and practice I found ways to make things stronger, more even and to get rid of those evil little finger marks.

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog, thank you for dropping by. Here I will post pictures of all my work, information on my upcoming events, my inspiration and occasionally tips etc. I really hope you like my work! Currently I am experimenting with new materials but Polymer Clay is my first love...I love working on requests so please get in touch...my jewellery is fun, cheeky and affordable. At the moment I stock the Brighton Arts Club and work off of my facebook page www.facebook.com/Trinkerbelle but am planning on setting up an Etsy page shortly. I have been designing jewellery since August 2012 but had a head start by being a Plasticine enthusiast from a young age. I have lots of exciting projects coming up including my first catwalk show in February...come and follow me on my exciting journey.
