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…
Kate and my “5 Item Swap” has gone to round 2. ICYMI, it’s a little creative exchange where we swap (a minimum of) 5 craft items in order to inspire a craft project. Kate has explained it much better than me HERE. We are opening the swap to more crafters, btw, so if you are…
A little lesson in Irish national holidays: Today is St Patrick’s Day, the feast of Saint Patrick, the saint who christianised Ireland in the 5th century. Legend has it that he did so by explaining the Holy Trinity with the help of a shamrock ☘️ – available in abundance on the Green Isle. Not a…
A huge big thank you to all readers here for their prompt and shopping-happy reaction on yesterday’s charity flash sale. Even without prior notice, orders came pouring in within minutes of publishing my blog post. Kate’s tags and RAngels were hot sellers, with all but one, single tag snapped up last night. A huge massive…
The little swap I did with Kate the other day, was truly inspiring. Restriction can often lead to inspiration, and so it was with the 5 item swap. As a reminder, this is what Kate sent to me. While I settled on the black cardboard, the fabric swatch, the gold leaf and the dagger and…
It’s been a while since I last made a RAPS – apparently three months, to be exact. And what made me go back to the shrining desk? A crafty exchange! What happened was this: I recently took part in a craft challenge within the junk journaling community on YT. The concept was so fun, so…
Before the teasing for the HoHoHoliday FundRAiser begins, I want to get the last of the shrines out there. And that may actually be quite useful for the recipient commissioner of the shrine. Communication is everything, and Guylty Inc.’s such was lacking somewhat… Let me tell you the whole story: First of all, this shrine…
Fresh from the press or rather: Twitter. Is that an ouchie I see there? Has a curious heart shape… The image on the left is a crop from a group picture posted on Twitter (see further below). And for some reason, when I look at that picture, I think of that expression “tall glass of…
*boo* 👻 Happy Halloween, everyone. It’s become a little tradition for me to make a Halloween RAPS even though I am not big on Halloween myself. And this year is no exception. If anything, these seasonal occasions provide a motivation for me to create a shrine – something that lazy bum me often just can’t…
This little reveal was planned for yesterday. But then the new Quart pictures dropped, and the RAPS was put on hold. So before we get more goodies from the set in Spain, I better return to Milton with this one. It’s often the actual mint tin that determines the design of the shrine. That Altoid…
