I have developed the monster idea a little further today. I have been making some Monster Pouches for my market.
This is the first of many. These ones are roughly 5” square, and like all my other pouches, are fully lined with both fabric and a layer of dense cotton batting.
Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. 
I had a brainwave the other day. I have seen so many amazing monster dolls, and I have made them in the past myself. So, I’m making a heap for my market.
They will each come with a little story.
It seems that the more I create for this market the more ideas I am getting. I have a list of a few I want to try out ready for my market. So stay tuned. <3
It’s Monday already! I have been meaning to blog all weekend but have been busy making things for my market. So, here are some sneak peeks for the market.
Small pouch – roughly 5” square. All my pouches and bags are fully lined. They also have a layer of dense cotton quilting batting for sturdiness and for padding.
Larger pouch – top is 10” and it’s 6” tall roughly. Would make a cute clutch.
Today’s effort – 1 large tote bag. It’s 10” across the top, 16” across the bottom, and 14” tall. I’ve half sewn the strap on now. It’s currently long enough so you can wear the bag securely across your body. One end is only pinned on, that way if the customer wants a shorter strap, I can do that for them.
And here’s me with my Quality Control Officer, Abbie. Have a wonderfully magical week. <3
Wow, it’s a bout a month until market day at Earth Walkers. I think I’m trying to do to many things at once and successfully not getting much done. Well, not much creating that is.
Because there are 4 different sellers, we all have our own Purchasing policies. I’ve been working on mine, and they are now on the page as a Note.
The other thing I’ve been working on the last couple of days is getting my part of the prize done. And I’m so happy with her.
She is an Abundance Goddess. On her belly is a piece of green jade with a triquetra on it. Jade is associated with abundance, prosperity, and luck. So she is done and her photo uploaded on the page now.
This book of Egyptian Prosperity Magic was provided by Giuliana of Worldly Treasures. Lots of great information in this book. This is also part of the prize pack.
There are two more items to go into the prize pack. Unfortunately they are not quite ready as the makers are still waiting for supplies via the postman.
I’m madly creating things for my market. Some items have been completed successfully, others have found their way into the bin. Such is life.
Yesterday I received my order from Joggles. In that order was 3 doll patterns and some doll body fabric. I made one of the patterns up today.
The pattern is elinor peace bailey’s Pierrot and Victorian Doll. She is only 10 1/2” tall. A bit small for me, although I finished this one successfully. I will be increasing her size by at least half before making her for my market.
Due to lack of participation, I have decided to cancel the give away. Each person who has entered will receive a 1 card reading over the next few days. I will email those to you.
I really don’t like doing this, but I don’t understand why people haven’t bothered to enter. It would take two seconds to enter. Anyway, it is done now.
Thank you to those who did take the time to enter.
I have to say, skulls and all things gothic are not exactly things that turn me on. I think more because I didn’t understand what skulls, especially crystal skulls, really meant. It’s only that I spend so much time with my friend who owns Worldly Treasures that I have started to have an appreciation of the crystal skulls. At first it was the workmanship that goes into them. And then Giuliana started to explain to me what they actually represented.
They have a similar meaning to what the Death Tarot card has. Death and rebirth. To bring something new into your life something has to leave, or die, for that to happen. The skulls are the same. They represent that very natural cycle of death and rebirth. Interesting that it is currently autumn here, a time of dying.
A few weeks ago Giuliana got this lovely skull in. He spoke to me so clearly I had to put him on layby.
Spoke is an understatement. After I put him on layby, every time I went into the shop after that I would end up with my left ear blocked, like I had lots of wax in it. Happened a few times. And I couldn’t stop thinking about him, and I finally put two and two together. He wanted to come home. So now he is home, and we are both very happy.
He is made from a piece of Travertino Alhombro Quartz, and his name is Merlin. His properties are self healing, flexibility, magic and protection, allowing oneself to be open and non judgmental, grounding yourself, success and prosperity. No wonder he needed to come home with me.
