Well a lot has happened since 2014, which is the last time I updated here. Six years and this blog is still around? I wonder when they eventually disappear. I have found it easiest for me to post pictures on Instagram follow me @isabel.ladyldesigns for actual up to date content.<br />
I now have 2 children and spend a lot less time crafting and creating. Its sad to admit, I do feel like I am missing that part of myself sometimes, but usually I have a full schedule and coffee to fuel me through it. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ladylaceration" target="_blank">My Etsy shop</a> is still active and I hope to post here more soon.<br />

I made the guitar after looking at many cosplay instructions, its not a prefect prop, but I am very happy with it. Its flat and doesn't have much detail. If I planned on using it again I would have made a better one. I used foam core then paper mache it, two layers. Then I sealed it with gesso and painted it. </div>

I have been working on a lot of things. Sorry for not posting much lately. Many new jewelry designs and even more daydreams of future projects. Updates soon, I promise. <br /><br />I am planning some steampunk costumes with a friend and it has inspired a whole wardrobe of projects to DIY. I will share the results and tutorial references for you to try yourself. I have a lot of inspirations collected on Pinterest. <br /><br />http://www.pinterest.com/lady_laceration/steampunk/<br /><br />I have been daydreaming of making a full costume for quite a few years now, I am finally getting around to it. It helps to have a friend to work on it with, also helps that my friend is a model so photo shoot in the future! I have an extra sewing machine so we can work at the same time, help each other and discuss patterns and alterations. :D <br /><br />I did a quick sewing project with my friend Creative Creature. She made a tutu type layered skirt they has a red t shirt for a waistband and lining. The top fabric is some spider web printed gauzy fabric. <br /> <br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/110273979841237315094/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCJP44uTUn4jN-gE#6007779311744107970'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1LfJyOoaZfbob4UKVhHTOVK9V0OGMIM6C2bZPw1pCgU1plnRhMWA8xwX37vHu1-V8LM_voyCQe9qeTx5Jl1QLcO4U_fJQFupJTojkKBjs9VTMu2L6LogWnIT2b7P07TOaoSqNIRJZEUty/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='209' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/110273979841237315094/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCJP44uTUn4jN-gE#6007779402242131074'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZzVpWDvZ1Ku-N9d-4baU9Jf08SgeDwVckUKK-GzCKdlSrWXNy8Z-AQo1RsGH0ytuLPX2rO2ciVxxH5k2TYVX7PlFs8ug5JGZ5pphGlC-mlhnT3tZv4R9rKg6kZyw3CYjFurEm02mDEcPg/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='209' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/110273979841237315094/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCJP44uTUn4jN-gE#6007779459812814738'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikDsMvAgFfccs-lscr_e5heTyA6N0H3QIv20Jx-0ROjzc9Xn0Z-vbw42AwQCC050R5bF0Y3Q-on0YZsHeLsW6KGrFIRMOoNKZMbPQvD3lQdApP9TEk_nUxIBecn-YYG5BRKimztvU5o9IY/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='209' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />The one I made is another t shirt skirt with an elastic waistband.

<h3>
Supplies:</h3>
<div>
Wooden frames, drill and bits, safety glasses, cardboard box, fancy nobs (drawer), fabric, burlap (for earring frame), hot glue gun, craft sticks, pencil and ruler.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These are the supplies that I used. When it comes to anything DIY, use what you already have or substitute where needed. :) Everything pictured I bought at Michaels. The frames were 65% off and the nobs were found in a bin at $1.50 each! For my this project didn't cost much and has a great look. </div>

<br />
<br />
First take apart your frame. Measure and mark where you want your nobs to go. I put mine in a straight row, on a wider frame it would look interesting if the nobs had a varied placement. Wear you safety glasses. Using a drill bit the same size as the threaded part of the nob, drill. I put my frame on a thick cardboard box when drilling so that I wouldn't drill into my table.<br />

Place your nobs into the holes that you drilled and attach the back of it to make it a snug fit.<br />

<br />
Use the paper inside the frame to measure your fabric. For this frame you could also substitute paper.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Assemble your frame! Wipe the glass off to make sure there isn't any dust or lint on it. This frame stands on its own, a wall hanging frame could also be used.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Earring Frame</h4>
Take apart your frame. Measure burlap to fit inside frame. Glue (or staple) the fabric to the inside edge of the frame. I wrapped mine around popsicle sticks to give it a nice edge and one it up straight. Window screen can be substituted for the burlap.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
For a wall hanging frame you can leave off the backing to allow more space for the earring hooks. Mine is standing so I put the back on it, making sure there was an empty pace for the hooks inside.<br />

Review of My Year</h3>
<div>
I am very proud of my creations this year. I have learned a lot and grown as an artist. I made many mistakes, but far more accomplishments. Thank you everyone for supporting me in my art and creative expression. </div>

Craft store, eBay and Etsy all have many steampunk supplies to search through and compare. There are many supplies that I have found and love at many price points. While shopping on eBay can be addicting I still love picking up and examining things in person at the craft store. </span></span></h3><br /><h3><br /></h3><br /><h3><br /></h3><br /><h3><br /><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/YourSteampunk" target="_blank">Your Steampunk on Etsy</a></h3><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/YourSteampunk" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/q74/s720x720/1441299_625050300869975_739771544_n.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I recently ordered from YourSteamunk. Very awesome sale happening so I couldn't resist. Their supplies are well priced and come in many different styles. They are consistent in size and quality, which is something I wished for when the last grab bag of assorted watch parts was mostly screws, bits of glass and dust.<br /><br /><br /><br />I am very excited about my purchase and I will update with photos soon.<br /><br />2 Jan, 2014<br />I received my first order from MySteampunk. They are so perfect.

I made this orchid pendant for an Etsy customer. I love talking to someone and making a piece just for them. I don't usually sculpt pieces because I tend to over work the clay, making it weird or having to start over. I actually felt really confident while working on this piece, I am very proud of how it turned out. </div>

I was very happy to get together with my model friend <a href="http://instagram.com/_whittens" target="_blank">Whitney Arnold</a> to take some photos of the pieces I have completed. I was very happy with how it turned out considering that I used an Ott-Lite lamp and my point and shoot camera to take pictures in my basement hallway. </div>

Videos and Tips on Working Safely with Resin</h2>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I personally work with "EasyCast" resin by Castin' Craft. It is simple to measure because it is half and half. There are other brands that use the same process. (Example: ICE Resin) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">My Tips</span></h4>
<div>
Work with resin in a space that is children, pet, and dust free. Cutting resin out of cat hair or sanding it off your flooring doesn't sound fun does it? If you are outside cover it with a plastic bin or shoebox to prevent bugs or dust getting in. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like to cover my workspace with newspaper. Layers of it. Then I wrap a piece of cardboard with wax paper and tape it on. I use that to place my (baked and cooled) clay pieces on while pouring resin. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I use a popsicle stick to drip it onto my piece. (like in the second video) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wear safety glasses because I don't want a silly craft project mishap damaging my sight. (I even wear low magnifying glasses while sewing for the same reason)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: red;">Please read all of the safety information provided in the package. Do some research before starting. Use protective equipment and have adequate ventilation. </span><span style="color: red;">You won't regret wearing an apron or safety glasses. </span></h3>

<div>
I am just going to share some awesome videos by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Beadaholique?feature=watch" target="_blank">Beadaholiqe</a>. They are very clear and easy to follow.<br />
I use a heat gun instead of a torch. She must have some crazy awesome table top to be able to torch it and not cover her workspace...<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: purple;">*Heat gun or hairdryer work fine. Craft heat guns are typically used for shrink wrap and embossing powders.</span><br />

Designed Just for You</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The polymer clay components that I use are handmade by me. I love making custom pieces and working with customers to create something beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Usually I re-create one of my designs in a different colour or combine a few designs to make something new. Its a lot of fun when customers give me a simple description and let me design my interpretation of it. Colour, shape, size and length are the details I start with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I send lots of progress photos along the way to make sure that I am heading in the right direction. If not then I don't mind starting over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It does not cost extra to order something custom made. It will be the same price I would sell it for in my shop. I make two pieces to pick from, if there are any changes then I make a third. If I still can't make what you are looking for I will have a longer more descriptive talk about it to try again to make it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Example Order</h3>
<div>
This customer wanted a "Time Traveller's Dream" necklace in rainbow. Why pick one colour when you can have them all? I had a lot of fun making this cheerful necklace. It really brightened up my workspace. These are the photos I shared with the customers for the orders. Expect similar update photos with your order.</div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Please note that it is very important to follow the instructions on the packages of everything you work with. Many supplies can be harmful to you or your children.</span></b></div>

<br />
<br />
I started by getting my clay together. I didn't like the shade of orange I had so I mixed a new one. I rolled it out then used a texture sheet to give it some depth. I cut out my shape. This can be done with many tools, but after its used for clay it shouldn't be used for food. This is when I add glitter and mica powder. Some people use eyeshadow.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I add a variety of embellishments. Then I bake it following the instructions that came on the package. If some of your embellishments can't be backed then carefully pull them off or just decorate it after.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you would like to order something that I do not have, I can order supplies in but it will add 15 days or more to complete. Also, price might increase if the supplies cost more than my original ones.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the pieces are cooled completely I cover them in 3 or more layers of resin. Take care to follow the directions, have protective equipment and lots of ventilation. Once the resin is cured I use E6000 glue to glue on a bail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At this point in the process I ask the customer to choose one. If they aren't quite right I set them aside to finish later. I talk to the customer to see what changes need to be made and make another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes there is no right way to capture someone else's idea accurately and it might be time to move on. If there was a deposit taken then I refund it and hopefully they can find it by someone else.</div>

First I mixed, swirled and cut my clay. I used a textured stamp and highlighted it with mica powder.<br />
I had a variety of bird charms so I let the customer pick one. I trimmed off the loop and pressed it into the clay. I also accented it with silver beads. I baked it following the instructions.<br />
<br />
Once cool I covered it with 5 layers of resin. I used more so the charm was completely encapsulated in resin.<br />
<br />

Steampunk Plugs for Stretched Lobes</h2>
<div>
For a while now I have been playing with the idea of making my own plugs. I did a resin and gear filled sample up for my good friend over at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KizzixPhotography" target="_blank">Kizzix Photography</a>. (<a href="http://ladyldesigns.blogspot.ca/2013/09/steampunk-photo-shoot.html" target="_blank">check out the photos she did for me</a>)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
These ones are screw on so I filled one side with glitter and gears and the other with micro beads and more gears. I really like how they turned out. I found some mold making compound that is suitable for resin for my next set. I am pretty excited to start these. I have so many projects on the go right now that I might not get to it until after Christmas.<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/KizzixPhotography" target="_blank">Kizzix Photography</a></h2>
<div>
In July I teamed up with a photographer in Nottingham, UK to do a photo shoot featuring some of my jewelry. Since I am in Canada, I wasn't there while the photo's were being taken. I am pretty excited about the photos that I have seen so far. I guess there was some kind of event happening because there were a lot of photographers taking pictures. I am pleased to make so many connections and meet other artists. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Miriam Jones of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KizzixPhotography" target="_blank">Kizzix Photography</a> is very kind and professional photographer. I enjoyed our correspondences and we actually have a lot in common. She is very organized and creative with her process. I know I will work with her again in the future.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hopefully I can do a shoot closer to home sometime soon. I already have a few models in mind. </div>

This Week's Jewelry</h3>
<div>
I had a bunch of orders to finish up this week. I loved the variety in colour and design. I was so happy that I got so many orders at once. My sales are really picking up, just in time too. I am heading on vacation for 3 weeks. When I get back I have a bunch more goodies to get to work on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
All of these pieces are sold already. They were custom made for the order. I love doing custom work, <a href="mailto:isabel.ladyldesigns@gmail.com" target="_blank">please contact me if you are interested in something similar</a>.</h4>

Time Traveller's Dream</h3>

I was also very excited to get three orders of my "Time Traveller's Dream" design. It is so fun to make. I photographed the process of making them and I will make a blog post of the process of creating them and how a custom order works. They are all on their way to the customers. I know they will enjoy them.</div>

<div>
I want to fill you in on my process. I make my custom pendants, sometimes keys and altered bits or polymer clay, then I lay them out with beads and charms in different patterns on my board. It is a flocked board with 3 rows and a measuring guide. I like it because I can see the finished piece before putting it together. I can move and change it easily. Once I am happy I put it all together.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Polymer Clay Pendants</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am working on a full list of basic tutorials and I will hopefully share some finished ones soon. Polymer clay is a fun and easy medium to work with. It is easily available and even children can make things then an adult can bake it. There are different brands and types available. I use mostly Premo Sculpy or Sculpy III. I find its more rigid than other types and best for my style of jewelry. Play around with different ones and pick a favourite. </div>

I roll out my clay with a pasta machine. Tools can't be used for food once its been used for clay. Knives, cookie cutters, rollers and pans included. Some people even have a clay dedicated toaster oven, I don't have the space now but in the future I will do this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the clay is rolled out I add texture with many tools and stamps. Play around, its fun. Then I add mica powder, metal leaf or glitter. I also add other flat embellishments. Make sure these are bake-able! If not then bake it plain, following the package instructions and add them after its baked and cooled.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Resin</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I use epoxy resin to seal my pendants. For beginners I recommend Triple Thick Glaze instead. For resin the area needs to be kid free, well ventilated and controlled temperature and low humidity. Its not easy to clean up and everything it touches should be able to be thrown out. I typically use 2 or 3 layers poured slowly. There are great you-tube videos on this, please do research before using resin.</div>

</tbody></table>
Once the resin is cured I add a bail and work on a necklace. Usually a simple chain is easiest to wear, but statement pieces are more fun to make. ;) After consulting a fellow artist I added a ribbon to it. Ask opinions of those that will be honest. A fresh set of eyes really helps.<br />

<br />
<br />
I recently finished reading the series and I was quite pleased. Although it is written for youth (being 26) I still quite enjoyed it. Set in Victorian London, it's a world of angels, demons, automans and many fascinating creatures. <br />
<br />
It does have a steampunk feel to it that I found interesting. She references locations and buildings that did exist in Victorian era but with a super natural twist. The story line has a little bit of a love triangle and a lot of action. The characters have great personalities and are very interesting.<br />
<br />
I would recommend this book if you like fantasy based books. I did not read The Mortal Instruments series, but I may pick it up in the future. <br />
<br />
What are your opinions for the books? <br />

Curate </h3>
<div>
Recently, I was invited to an Etsy Team called Handmade Canada. I love the idea of local artists helping each other promote. I joined in a weekend treasury challenge with 10 other shops. We had to feature at least 6 of the shops in 2 treasuries. It was a lot of fun and I liked the challenge. </div>

On <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LadyL.Jewelry" target="_blank">my Facebook fanpage</a> I also offered to curate a treasury featuring any shop that commented on my status. I have been networking on Facebook a lot lately and its nice to share and help out other artists. </div>

I know I have been neglecting my blog a bit. I was trying to do a bit more networking using Facebook and Instagram. I came across a page called Hike Those Likes Market Place. I was hooked and had to peel myself away after 3 days in a row because my posts were going straight to spam. It only lasted a few days and I was checking back there a few times a day.<br />
<br />
Hike Those Likes Market Place is a community of buyers and sellers. Anyone can join and post. Its super easy. They have scheduled events so its easy to participate. Some people trade likes (I like your page so like mine back) but thats a quick way to get spammed. I just learned that lesson. So to get the most of it I now open each page in its own tab and check their photos and posts, one by one. If I actually like the page then I click the Like button and let them know in a comment what it is about their shop I like. I know that when I get encouraging notes it motivates me. Sometimes I tag my page in the comment, but its easier to hashtag it or just post onto the HTLMP community that I am around and they can find me there. They usually find me or they make the connection which page is mine. (I put that I have a page on my profile as my workplace)<br />
<br />
There are a bunch of pages that I have found that I am in love with, maybe border lined obsessed. Every time they show up on my news feed I feel motivated to be creative too. I also wish I had more spending money so I can collect their stuff instead of drooling over it. Here is my first list of shops that I think everyone needs to peek at.<br />
