I really could’ve waited with the gallery update. Because here is yet another shrine reveal – in lieu of the round-up. Yep, I was busy for the December fundraiser. As is often the case, the mint tin determined who and what I was going to enshrine in it. This mint tin has been in my…
I have neglected my shrine page. I realised this morning that I hadn’t updated the gallery since May or so… Lots more in the gallery… and actually one more to update today, because I have made another shrine that had been on my list for a while. Kiss, kiss. Who is inside. Proctor? Porter? No,…
What’s mood-lifting? A RAPS. And making a RAPS as well as revealing a RAPS. In the last throes of my little flirt with Covid-19, I decided to amuse myself with a bit of creative fangirling again. Not least because the December fundRAiser is coming up and I wanted to contribute something to that. Check this…
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far. In Ireland. It was, wait for it, a staggering 25.9°C!!!! For our North American friends: That is 78.6F. 😂 I wasted the good weather – it was not only warm, but also dry and sunny! – and stayed inside all day. *wrist slap* But I…
Today is the first day of the fan-led “Armitage Summer Splash” event. I linked to the announcement in the last round-up: Initiators Lathalea and Fizzyxcustard are posting daily prompts for every week in June, as a way of bringing creativity and Armitage appreciation together. Anything is possible in response to the prompts – fics and…
Did I say somewhere that I had sworn not to buy new mint tins anymore? Well, I was shopping the other day and was in this shop called “Flying Tiger”. I have bought tins in there before, the results of which were dishy and fishy, as well as smily and angling . Once again I…
The “5 Item Challenge” has had *just* the effect I have needed. Thanks to the pressure of improvisation, I have felt inspired to get down to shrining. Kate’s challenge items were responsible for shrines 266 and 270. And in round 3 of the challenge, which was opened to new participants, I received an envelope with…
Silver Fox? Sounds familiar, right? I recently made a silver fox shrine that was sold in the Ukraine Aid fundraiser. It was picked up pretty quickly, and as a result, I was approached bts whether I would consider making another silver fox shrine in return for an identical price to go into the fundraiser pot.…
Good morning and happy Wednesday! We have a raffle winner. I’ll make it short: Congratulations to Jalizar – you have won the shrine and I will put it in the post for you asap. (I think I still have your address via Etsy 😉.) And many thanks for everyone who commented and put their names…
Happy Easter everyone! I have an Easter egg for you. The inspiration has been flowing recently. This year I am determined to finally round off the current 100 shrines and create vol. 3 of my Art of Shrining book series. And the result of the inspo will be raffled off to one lucky reader. The…
