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!

'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.

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.

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.
