The Time is Nearly Upon Us.



Hey guys, so sorry I have not blogged in a while. Only 1 week until the Guerrilla Fashion show https://www.facebook.com/events/453407461363472/?fref=ts and things are going really well, but it does mean I don't have as much time for Trinkerbelle stuff - however as I was putting together the images for this blog I realised I have still managed quite a bit. 

Here are some tattoo style rings I made...they are not my usual style and are again, quite commercial but they are really eye catching and a beautiful colour. I love wearing them and haven't managed to put them in the shop because I can't let go. They go great with my blue nail varnish and are a lot of fun. Everyone comments on them. 



I have had this idea for a while (sorry about poor picture quality) and I think it's really fun - maybe it has been done before but I couldn't find anything like it. It fits in well with my Trinkerbelle themes of gore and cute. I like taking something classic and overused and putting a funky, gory spin on it.






I'm not going to lie, this I have actually attempted before but this is the first one to work. For some reason I struggle a little with horses/unicorn heads. I love the idea that a unicorns blood is made out of a rainbow and I was inspired by a piece of street art I saw AGES ago which was one ripped in the middle by a rainbow.




If you saw my last blog post you will have seen my inspiration for this decapitated frog necklace - I adore him and think that he may be my new favourite. He was really fun to make. Sorry again for such an awful picture - I am saving for a camera...






Do you like this gas mask set I made? I am fast becoming obsessed with gas masks and have thought of doing themed ones (i.e Micky Mouse, pikachu etc.) Expect to see a lot more where these came from!



Then I made this Mounted stag head necklace which I got modelled and photographed professionally because I couldn't get the picture right - one day I will have all my jewellery photographed like this. I totally love it but think I am going to make a few more detailed ones in different colours. I have also been inspired to make one with Bambi's head on it - very Trinkerbelle. 
Trinkerbelle is very much against hunting and mounting animal heads. 



Here are just a few things inspiring me this week.

This has inspired me to do Bambi's head mounted. So cute.

I adore this.

Definitely going to do a mouse trap coffin necklace or ring.

Amazing street art I will find a way to make something similar into a piece of jewellery.


Hope you enjoyed my blog. Will be uploading a lot more as soon as the show is over in less than a week. EEK!

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

Wow! So hectic this week. Guerrilla Fashion is really taking off and am having lots of exciting meetings with graphic designers, performers, models etc. Had a photo shoot modelling some of my jewellery with one of my sponsors for the show Goddamn Media which was a lot of fun...especially as I'm concentrating on changing my style at the moment. 

Here are a few pictures from the shoot...you can find the rest on my facebook Trinkerbelle page www.facebook.co.uk/trinkerbelle 




As you can see I'm still totally absorbed by this pastel goth/kawaii grunge theme. 



Whilst exploring my new found obsession online I came across Kerli - the queen of Bubble Goth, clothes DIY goddess and all round superstar. She spurred me on to make this beautiful gas mask teddy...he is probably one of my all time favourites.







So if you haven't already heard of her go and have a hunt around...she seems to be just a lovely ball of loveliness...inspiring and fun. 

Some other pieces I made this week...

Kawaii Blade. 

I actually made this just as a prototype for a new club night but as soon as I uploaded it to the facebook page I got a couple of orders. It's super trashy and super fun - a must for any ravers.



I also made a start on my anti-Valentines day range - because you know I like to do things a little differently. I am having so much fun with these I can't even explain...

Jaded Heart.

Bitter candy. (My fave is 'You'll Do' what's yours?)

Ashtray heart - I think we have all felt like this from time to time.







So as you can see I am as busy as busy can be...keep checking in.
As Kerli would say...Integrity, love, unity.

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.

Anarchy, grumpy care bear.




Woe is Doughnut.
