application done

i filled out my application today for the Unique LA Summer Show. it will take place in July in Santa Monica. i sure hope i make the cut. eek.

the last show was fun but this is a completely different venue. if i make it in i will be located outdoors so that will be a change from the last show. since it will be summer in LA i am not sure it will be nice to be outside or melting hot. we shall see...

fingers crossed!

new friend!

i am experimenting with some new shrinky dink techniques and found a great new way to make earrings!

scrapbooking hole punches are a great tool for jewelry! i tried it out with this elephant design and it worked amazingly.



i am now in a mission to acquire some more adorable punches for my new line, aptly named PUNCH!

stay tuned for more designs...

nail art: using tape

who knew tape was just a good ally when it came to doing nails? well, i guess plenty of people, but i finally jumped onto the tape bandwagon.

i'm so excited

these are the images of how my new custom stamp looks! i love it.


Tyr did an amazing job and i am on pins and needles waiting for this little guy to get here from Sweden!

stamp!

i just placed an order to have a custom stamp made for me of my logo for Unicorn Crafts

the artist is named Tyr and she lives in Stockholm, Sweden. i just love her attention to detail. takes a steady hand to pull something like this off.

i cannot wait to see the stamp that she is creating for me...

done and done

just finished Adam from Arizona's custom order.

i love this combo of cupcake and horsey!

Punch!

i took a trip to michael's today and picked up a new toy.
it's a craft punch. i think i shall use it for price tags at my next show. there were some other really neat punches but alas, i could only use one coupon per day. boo.

they really need to get rid of that policy and be more coupon friendly like joann.

Follow Unicorn Crafts on Twitter

i finally ventured into the Twitter world a few days ago. i know what you're thinking. i was thinking that too. but after doing the Unique LA show i realized that Twitter is how all the craft folk stay in contact with one another.

plus this way you can see some of the silly thoughts that pop into my head, teehee.
