Butterfly Clock

Butterfly Tree Clock

Well, I completely forgot to blog about this beautiful product that I worked on a few days ago. It is a working clock and all you need is a AA Battery :) 

Here is the stunning piece before any work was done on it by me.

So here it is, this design was done by one of my talented suppliers, who have done everything from the designing to the cutting, It really is a beautiful piece and one of 3 designs, I will show you another design of this Tree Clock I completed for a customer further down.

I first primed the whole piece with Gesso primer once dried I then sanded it all done with a very fine sand paper to give it a smoother finish before painting.

Once the above was all done, I then decided on the colours I was going to do for this piece, The colours I decided on are: Metallic Black,Purple,Mother Or Pearl and finished with a bit of Silver Glitter Paint and Purple Glitter Paint.

Once all the paint was dried, I could then add the clock mechanism to the clock along with the hands, once that was done it was complete...... Here it is all painted and glittered

This beautiful clock can also be done to your requirements, It measures approx 30cm and can be found on my Facebook Page to purchase or place an order Kelly's Enchanted Castle or you can purchase this clock style from my Supermums Craft Fair Stall

Earlier in this post I mentioned about another version of this I did for a customer, This was all done to the customers specifications from colours of paint to the colour of the hands. This Owl Tree Clock is approx 40cm but can also be done at 30cm 

The customer's choice of colours for this one were, Chocolate Brown, Latter Cream and Gold with Red Hands. 

I have done a few other designs of clocks these can all be found HERE, All of which can be done to your requirements, I hope you have alot of fun looking at my page and the clocks I have done and keep checking back for new designs.

New Make, Stage by Stage

Hello all :)

Well yesterday was a pretty relaxed one with working on a product for stock, so here it is :) 

It first started out like this, all plain with nothing done to it, I then primed it using a Gesso Primer once all primed I then sanded it down using a fine sand paper to give it a smooth finish..

Once all the above was done it was now time for the fun part the painting, The colours I used for this piece were: Pearl Frosted Mint, Latte Cream, Gold and Mother Of Pearl. I also used a Gold and Silver glitter paint.

This measures approx: 31cm x 29cm and can be purchased on my Facebook page Kelly's Enchanted Castle

Christmas In The Making Stage By Stage

Hello all.

Today has consisted of finishing the customer order which I blogged about earlier, and also a Christmas Sign I have painted for stock purposes.

So here it is before I worked my magic on it, Again the design and cutting was done by one of my talented suppliers, This is how it looks when it arrives from them.

So before I started to paint this beautiful piece I needed to Prime it first with Gesso Primer, the primer helps to stop the paint being soaked up by the wood and gives it a more vibrant look when painted. Here it is all primed and ready :)

Once the primer has dried, I then sand it down with a fine sand paper to give it a smoother finish.

Then the fun begins of painting it, the colours I went for, for this piece were Red,White and Silver with an added sparkle of Silver Glamour Dust Paint, The paints I used to paint it were Crafters Acrylics. I first painted all the red parts layering up the colour each time, then I continued the same but with white and lastly the snowflakes.

Here is the finished piece, all ready to be purchased. I can even do this in any choice of colours.

You can order this via my Facebook page

Special Memorial Keepsake

Hello all well I have some very special keepsake memorial cards to share with you all.

I was recently asked by an old school friend/repeat customer to make her 4 memorial bookatrix keepsake cards for herself and 3 family members which were cousin,brother,son and nephew. I have already made such a thing for her in the past a memorial keepsake of her mum, so when she asked me to do her 4 in memory of her cousin I was highly honoured to do them for her.

Everything she asked me to do I have done, from the colours of the keepsakes the pictures she chose which I edited with her cousin's name date of birth and the date of his passing, the finishing touches (skull and crossbones) the skull and crossbones is a Digi stamp designed by Teri at Delicious Doodles  including the verses, I did the verses and then sent them to her for her approval to which she was over the moon with I also did an added extra for her which was to put her cousins name down the centre of the ribbon.

 I also agreed to send her pictures via a message once they were complete and her response was second to known, this is what she had to say about them "Kelly they are amazing and absolutely amazing, thank you again you are an absolute star." she also said "They are absolutely perfect sweet, Love em :) got a lump in my throat."

So here they are 

I was over the moon with her response as we did have a few problems along the way of getting them done and when they were the first time, she admitted to a mistake she had made of the day of his passing, so I re-edited the pictures, re-printed them and then replaced them on the keepsakes.

The end product I could not have been more happy with even though we did have a few problems which were soon sorted, she has even said she will recommend me to her family and make sure they know who has made them and is passing on my details. The one thing I have been asked is to not put them on Facebook as of yet, as 3 of them are a surprise for her family members once they have seen them they will then be added to my customer order album on Facebook, so others can see what I have done.

Even though it was such a sad occasion to be doing a keepsake for I still enjoyed doing it as it was made easy for me as the customer knew exactly what she wanted and that is what she got plus a bit more, as a lot of love care and thought went into each and everyone of them.

Crafty Session

Hello all :), I hope you are all well, I have had a few good days the pain hasn't been too bad YAY!!

So yesterday I had my usual crafty session with my partner in crime and close friend Laura, we have a craft session once to twice a week, so yesterday was a bit of a productive day with making some new designs of cards including three Christmas cards :O yes I said Christmas lol, We both seemed to go on a little hypo by insulting each other and just pure randomness hehe.

Well here are the new Christmas Cards for this year so far 

I also did some other occasion cards including Birthday and Thank You and here they are

And lastly I made a new Thank You card

I hope you like the new creations I have done, These can be found on my Facebook page Kelly's Enchanted Castle and are ready to be purchased.

I have also been busy with paper work for Staffordshire SANDS as we have a committee meeting on Monday and me and Laura have quite a few things to discuss with the rest of the committee to do with a family fun day, ways to improve the support meetings and so on.

I am also attending Midsummer Mayhem at Lyme Valley on Sunday with the Staffordshire SANDS information stall so we can get the word out that we are here to help grieving parents. I hope that if you are local to Stoke-On-Trent and Newcastle-Under-Lyme that I will see you there for a brilliant family day out.
