Little update on this post…
Never expected it when I first set out on this crafty project but there are now a limited number of these on sale at the Tide Gallery in Hull. This very fact did make my mouth go a little dry, but is very exciting! I think they look good all packaged up in true HoB style!
The idea for this started from a photo in a craft magazine. I was perusing it’s pages with Betty over a shandy in Bungalows and Bears, and they happened to be holding a vintage sale (a vintage sale in a pub…how cool is that!!) and this little cup and saucer set was right there; it seemed like fate! I got to crafting, carving and sanding the little waves and clouds out of balsa wood. I liked the effect the balsa wood had as I thought it’s colourings looked like… well TEA!!! I’m now always on the look out for nice tea cups so I can make more and I enjoyed making the clouds so much that it’s lead to a bit of a cloud obsession!
What cloudy things can I make next…
About Aichee
Generally found with too many craft projects on the go at once: be it things out of beads, stitches, paper or Japanese robot kits. Has a tendency to loose needles in cushions. Appreciates a list with a drop shadowed tick box, likes rummaging around vintage wares, getting her face into a graphic novel or two, retro gaming, feeding her eyes with some nice art and design, moderately obsessed with skulls, cross stitch, vinyl/Japanese toys. Uses too many condiments when dining and is worryingly obsessed with English Mustard. Often get’s told she has a large head.
