Finally managed to upload my 'love' bracelet from last week - sorry its late. http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/carolan0_0/Handmade%20Jewellery/DSC00403.jpg

For this week's challenge i've made a sweetie bag charm for my mum - because she deserves it and she loves sweets ! http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/carolan0_0/Handmade%20Jewellery/100_0464.jpg

Welldone Carolan, the bracelet is lovely and the bag charm is fab, tour mum will love it, it looks good enough to eat. The other day yous made me want a donut/cake now i really want dolly mixtures lol.

I did buy the dolly mixture beads - I got a bag of 'second' ones, I thought it would be be good to see how their made so I can try and replicate them - not had much joy yet. I seem to have mastered doughnuts and marshmellow flumps, that's all so far.

Any tips for stopping getting sticky with fimo - not sure if its the heat of my hands or the general hot weather ?

thankyou, just had a look on ebay and wow i feel hungrey. seen love hearts, dolly mixtures, chocolate, swiss rolls, apple slices, cup cakes, flumps, allsorts, cookies , doughnuts and toast just to name a few. i am planning on making my daugther some hairslides like i used to and think sweets on it would make a stunning hair slide for my princess. but i'm not gonna attempt to make any of them for a while got too many other things i'm making,lol.

Try popping it in the fridge for a bit, use a cold tile to work on and a very very sharp blade to slice through. Fimo classic is much firmer and keeps it's shape better than fimo soft.

won lots of bead stuff on ebay this weekend for really cheap! so now can't wait to get started, a memory wire bracelet is going to be my first item.

Just looking at memory wire on ebay and the diameter of the rings are tiny - is this right?!

Roughly how many beads will you need for this?

I was kind of hoping it would be me as I thought of something the other day. This weeks challenge is

"Think of someone who deserves a present and make them something they'll love. You don't have to actually give it to them, but it has to have a meaning" Tell us who it's for and why.


I hope that's ok with everyone.

Great challange

Carolan0_0 - Gorgeous makes, I love the dolly mixture

I'm going to try & finish the donut charm bracelet today, I've just varnished them all so fingers crossed I can find some time to fix them onto a chain

Hope you all have had a great weekend x
