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.

'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.
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.

No Rest For the Wicked...but still time to shop.
Pay day for me means clay day for Trinkerbelle...I found some really cute colours and stocked up on white and black...now I can relax...actually no I can't. Working like crazy to get things ready for my fashion show in February The Guerrilla Fashion Event II https://www.facebook.com/events/453407461363472/?fref=ts. I am making all sorts of head pieces and necklaces to compliment each other and the models...the themes of the show are lust and decadence so they need to be pretty saucy...I have made a rather cute little sailor girl and bondage tied her to an anchor for my head piece entitled 'A Very English Submission'...pictures soon I promise. Other ideas swimming around my mind are a casino/Vegas style design with playing cards, dice and more glitz then you can shake a stick at (whatever the hell that means), a pre raphaelite/siren - subtle and floaty design and a Gothic, dark mistress of pain type piece. Haven't had much time to work on anything else as I am organising the event as well but will have pictures of a Tank Girl inspired charm necklace and 'Tinkerbell - still snorting that pixie dust' model to put up soon...phew, have I got time for a cuppa? I wish

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...

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...

(WARNING ADULT) Where Are They Now? Beloved Childrens TV Characters.
Once the obsession of fruit with mental health issues had released me from it's grip I needed a new wacky project to keep the
creative demons at bay and shortly after, this idea came to me - what happens to the characters they love when children get too old for them...I still have so many I need to do including Tinkerbelle - still snorting that pixie dust, a botox addicted Jessica Rabbit and an obese cookie monster...I really hope you love these as much as I do - each one is my baby. Please don't just look at the pictures, the story truly makes them...My fave design is TinkyWinky but my fave story is Arthur definitely...what's yours? I will continue to add to this page as and when I have time to indulge myself.
(No offence intended)
In 2002 when the Telletubbies came to an end TinkyWinky still had stardom in his eyes. He waited for the calls asking him to go to Hollywood but they never came. He started going to castings but all the parts would go to the actors that could actually speak. All that was left was the parties, his one last foot in the door of fame...and look at him now.
Arthur - after many years on our screen (he still actually self broadcasts the show for 'the fans') Arthur finally realised that books and libraries are not the answer as no matter how much he studied he kept getting held back a year. He decided that all anyone cares about is swag! He gave up his library card for a cane and his book bag for some bling. He currently uses Elwood City to smuggle drugs from all over the world and trickles them down through his 'posse' of petrified gang members who - after watching Arthur shoot his best friend Buster Baxter in the face without even blinking will never try to overturn his reign. Sister Dora Winifred is currently sleeping with a rival gang member...we will keep you updated on how that one works out for her.
