Been trying to get in as much practice as I can with my camera when I find the time and have some more confidence after getting some of my photography work displayed in an <a href="http://princessnomi.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/photo-exhibit-on-unicorn.html">Exhibition on the Unicorn</a> in August. Here are some of the photos from a shoot I did back in October in Bell Street car park, Dundee. This was the first time I had done a photo shoot using a model, it was great fun and I'm hoping to do more like this in the future. Want to say a big thank you to Alan from <a href="http://purpleport.com/portfolio/projectdd2/?referrer=projectdd2">ProjectA</a> for showing me the ropes and to male model <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Orion-Male-Model/1503729363194551?fref=ts">Orion</a>. Cheers guys! :)</div>

Can't believe it's the first of December tomorrow already, the festive season is nearly upon us and there's lots of Christmas shopping to do for everyone, yikes! I have found in the past couple of years that my friendship cake key rings have been very popular with an increase in sales at this time of year. The customer can choose whatever type of cake they want and how many slices that they require. These slices are then attached to key rings (or necklaces if preferred) and when all the friends are together the cake makes a whole and when the friends are apart they each have a piece of cake with them. Customers also have the choice to have their cakes scented, to have personalised name tags put on, to have extra beads and charms added and to have them packaged separately or together. Friendship Cake Key Rings can be found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/171209832/cake-slice-friendship-keyrings">here.</a><br /><br />Here are some pictures of cake key rings I have made in the past.</div>

Paul is a Scottish author and poet from Dundee. We both met when we were studying media together at college 14 years ago (gosh that just makes me feel old). Paul then went onto to work in healthcare but never gave up on his passion for creative writing. In March 2014 his first book 'A Murder of Crows' was released which features a collection of his poetry and a dark, imaginary short story.<br />

I have been doing a lot of freelance photography work recently so when Paul approached me and asked me if he could include some of my photographic work in his new edition I was very happy to oblige. I asked him specifically what pictures he would ideally like to be included in the book to which he replied; 'I would like a picture of a crow on a gravestone at sunset with a hospital in the background.'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After regretting asking him specifically what he would like I decided to give it my best shot so to speak. I spent a whole evening up at Balgay Cemetry which overlooks Ninewells Hospital in Dundee trying to get pictures of crows on gravestones. This mainly involved tempting crows with sandwiches and getting a lot of funny looks from passers by. In the end I got a few winning shots I was happy with which have now been included in the book. I will include one photo for a teaser but you have to buy the book to see the rest.</div>

Spent my October break catching up with friends and family down in Edinburgh. Spent a day at Butterfly World with my mates and their kids or 'Butt-fly World' as my son calls it, haha! Had a great day out and the kiddy-winks had a ball. They got to walk around the butterfly area and then through to the reptile area. There was also the nocturnal area and the insect bit too. We got to see the animals getting fed at feeding time and also got to handle some of them too. The giant millipede felt very weird walking across my hands, it was almost like it's legs were made of velcro! Hoping to get more days out like this organised soon. Here are some photos for you meanwhile...</div>

It's coming up for my favourite time of year... Hallowe'en!!! So to get in the spirit of things I am listing a few special items of jewellery up in my Etsy shop. Here's a few photos for you; my polymer clay hanging batty earrings, gothic charm bracelet, glow-in-the-dark ghost key ring and Hallowe'en cupcake necklace. Remember this spooktacular stuff can be worn all year round too!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I can't believe it's been over three years now since my wee boy was born, how time flies! And that will be two years now since I did the post about about the </span><a href="http://princessnomi.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/caelanzillas-monster-birthday-bash.html" style="text-align: start;">Monster themed party</a><span style="text-align: start;"> I did for his 1st Birthday.</span></div>
<span style="text-align: start;">I've had such a lot on right now with work and starting college that I decided to just be really relaxed about the whole thing. I bought some buffet food, I even bought the cake this time as well. I was so tired on Friday night and I couldn't face sitting up all night baking. My friend Mandy (</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DundeeFacePainter" style="text-align: start;">Face Painter Dundee</a>)<span style="text-align: start;"> came round with her face paints and the kids all had a ball. It shows you don't have to have a big event that takes lots of planning and stress just so they have a good time. Still want to do my pirate themed party at one point though so watch this space! Here are some photos from yesterday...</span><br />

I had a great time, met loads of other lovely crafters and made a few sales too, yippeeee! It was good to get out and speak to people and see which items of mine were attracting the most attention. Selling online all the time can be a bit faceless and you don't always get feedback. It was also good to have a look around and see what crafts other people were doing too. I even ended up buying some lovely sweet chilli jam and some tomato and ginger jam which is absolutely delicious!<br />
<br />
Here is some photos of my stall. I had loads of stuff, so much I couldn't even fit it all on the table! A lot more stuff than when I did my first stall 2 years ago anyway (see my last post). So I guess I better get my wee faerie bum into gear and do lots more crafts fares this summer and hopefully sell lots more stuff!<br />

Well I guess I'd better look into doing some more stalls this summer and also getting a lot more of these Nomi Faerie goodies up on my Etsy page. Plus there is the crafty area to sort out, it's total chaos here after this week. A faerie's work is never done it seems...<br />

The last few weeks have been extremely busy as I prepare to do a stall for this event on Sunday. Very exciting as I've not done a stall for nearly 2 years and that was when I was first starting out with The Nomi Faerie. I think I have come a long way since then and have a lot more stuff to display than I did before. It's also going to be good to get out on the field and speak to potential buyers too rather than just doing everything online.<br />
<br />
I didn't realise just how much work I would have to do for this stall. As it has been so long and I've got lots of new stock, I'm not only having to do lots of packaging but also make lots of little display units for all my different items. I'm also trying to make a few extras of my best selling stuff like my Mighty Boosh and Alice in Wonderland ranges, you never know it may give me a few extra sales on the day. I found a picture from when I did my first stall at West Fest nearly 2 years ago. As you can see from the photo I am 6 months pregnant at the time!<br />

So anyway I'd best get back to it. Big list of things to do today and then if I have time hoping to set up a practice stall ahead of tomorrow. I keep looking at that old photo above and thinking I can do much better this time! I'll post some photos after the event tomorrow and you can decide for yourselves. Wish me luck and if anyone in the Dundee area wants to come down and say hello, it would be great to meet you!</div>

Thought I'd share some of the creations that I have been up to lately with you. It all started off with a gnome in a jar...</div>
I've been making a lot of gnomes recently and the more practice I've been getting, the smaller I am able to make them. Then one day I was able to make them small enough to fit inside a miniature jar, yaaay! Well I turned that jar into a necklace and I err... kept that necklace for myself because I loved it that much!!! I would like to introduce you to Herbert Junior, those of you that know me and have seen me lately will probably already have met him!<br />

Don't worry I'm not going to keep all the jar necklaces for myself. I went on to make another gnome in a jar but this time I went all out and also put in a toadstool, some foliage and a wee 'Gnome Sweet Gnome' sign. Norman seems to be very happy with his new terrarium and will be going up for sale on my Esty shop this week<span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />

Then I went even smaller and made Mr & Mrs Gnome in their terrarium of Gnome Love jar! Only thing is with this one is I forgot to glue the base onto the bottom so it has come loose. This will just have to be kept as an ornament instead, oh well, they seem happy enough and haven't complained about it at all.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUs4oWf2Ny01yXmTlDkitnl5BC6Jfqwb3nboevo16ZcaEs57YNWsnxmx0a-4pjwDIRYJ1fsG_tIMReVtHEJxs-TngSfupWfX1ep6te90QvBwqRwBrfLgV4xSJEl2YQjZHsh4JGG3wStDF/s1600/IMG_2817.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBUs4oWf2Ny01yXmTlDkitnl5BC6Jfqwb3nboevo16ZcaEs57YNWsnxmx0a-4pjwDIRYJ1fsG_tIMReVtHEJxs-TngSfupWfX1ep6te90QvBwqRwBrfLgV4xSJEl2YQjZHsh4JGG3wStDF/s1600/IMG_2817.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a><br />

Moving on from
the gnomes now I thought it would be customary to make a little faerie in a jar
as well. Would like to introduce to you Louella the Bluebell faerie...</div>

Next up... Did you collect trolls when you were young? I did, I've still got mine somewhere, why is that not surprising eh? Well one of my customers asked if I would make a troll in a jar key ring and I said of course, that just gave me a great excuse to make a bunch of the little critters!</div>

So there you go! That's where I am at so far anyway. Got loads more ideas of things to create in jars although some of them are proving impossible to do and others are just completely bonkers! I am also open to suggestions as well if there is something that you would really like to see in a jar! Just don't be too rotten to me haha! In the meantime keep checking my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NomiFaerie">Facebook page</a> and Etsy shop for new makes and I'll be back with more faerieful nonsense this time next week! </div>

Yes, it's been a while. Yes, I said I would write my blog weekly. Yes, it was my New Years Resolution and precisely why I don't usually make them. But anyway I thought I'd share a few of my holiday snaps with you and give you my list of excuses as to why I haven't been on top of things lately. Spring cleaning & de-cluttering the house, doing lots of commissioned orders and decorating the bathroom to name but a few. That means that I will have lots of new exciting posts to share with you over the coming few weeks. That is of course if I manage to get on top of my orders, get all the finishing touches in the bathroom done AND get all the clutter in this house sorted. I wouldn't bet money on the latter!<br />
So anyway, here's a few of the better photos from my holiday to Morocco for you to have a gander and I will be back from all the chaos very soon...<br />

I depart for Marrakech today and here I am still in my jammies packaging up the last of my orders, writing my blog and have not even hauled the suitcase out the cupboard yet let alone started packing! Oh well, this is the chaos that is my life and just think... in just over 30 hours time I will be sipping refreshing mint tea and soaking up the sights, scents and atmosphere of the Jemaa el Fna where our riad is situated.<br /><br />

This will also be the first time I've been away from my 17 month old son so although I'm actually desperate for a break I know I'm gonna miss him like crazy! I'm actually also a little worried I end up sleeping for the whole holiday as I feel that shattered right now, haha!</div>

We've got loads planned for the trip like hiring a car and going up the Atlas mountains, going on a dessert trip and hitting the coast for the day so sure will have plenty to keep myself occupied with. Am planning on writing a series of blog posts when I get back all about my trip so check back in a fortnight to hear all about the Nomi Faerie's adventures in and around Marrakech - don't worry I will try come up with a catchier title while I am away! Now I suppose I'd better think about getting a shower and hauling that suitcase out the cupboard! See you when I get back! :)<br /></div>

Hello everyone! Thought I would share my latest make; The Sunflower Faerie. This is the first time I had made a larger scale character since my wedding cake toppers last year so it was lots of fun getting back into it and not having to make things on such a tiny scale all the time like my fimo jewellery charms.</div>

<br />I had a bit of trouble making the wings but after an appeal on Facebook, Elaine from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/RandomCraftinessAndCraftyRandomness?fref=ts">Random Craftiness And Crafty Randomness</a> very kindly sent me some angelina fibre to work with. Thank you Elaine! Angelina or fantasy fibres are very sparkly, iridescent fibres which are heat bondable. I made the faerie's wings above by creating an outline with green wire then ironing layers of angelina fibre across them on both sides then trimmed the excess to create this lovely, sparkly set of wings.<br />

She loves sunflowers and reading so I thought this would be a great gift to have a little sunflower faerie sitting up on her book shelf sunning herself. Now I've got the bug again I'm planning on making more faeries real soon! I've got lots of new ideas and I am currently working on a new faerie at the moment, although it's taking me ages to finish! Don't worry as soon as it's finished I will get the pictures up to show you! I'd best best dash off and get the tea on just now though, bye for now! xxx<br /><br />

Last Tuesday my friend Lydia and I were hard at work making Alice in Wonderland inspired decorations for our friend's baby shower at the weekend. We got quite a lot done in one evening if I do say so myself but then having new devices in the house now such as a die cutter and a printer certainly helps a lot!<div>

As you can see from the photo we made loads! We made a caterpillar in the style of The Hungry Caterpillar as our friend loves it! I used the printer to print out 'This Way', 'That Way' and We're all Mad Here' signs. I printed out Cheshire cat grins which we stuck to straws to make little masks. I used the die cutter to cut out most of the shapes including the keys and love hearts. We threaded the love hearts onto some ribbon along with the suite of hearts from a deck of cards to make Queen of Hearts bunting. I also printed out and cut out some 'Eat Me' and 'Drink Me' tags too.</div>
<div>
<br />That left Friday for baking CAAKES!!! Sorry I love saying that word! I made vanilla cupcakes with blue butter icing, sprinkles, love heart sweets and 'Eat Me' handmade cake toppers. Here's my mum who's over visiting at the moment snaffling one! </div>

It's not very pleasant and it is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Well done to Jordan who won a scented cupcake necklace with 'Eat Me' tag from my shop.</span></div>

So all in all I would say the day was a great success, plenty of munchies, good company and cool decorations. Hopefully there is plenty of inspiration here for your Alice in Wonderland inspired Baby Shower too. Now time to get back to working on some Alice in Wonderland inspired jewellery for my shop, keep your eyes peeled for more amazing Nomi Faerie stuff coming very soon!</div>

Phew, what a week it has been with all the snowfall! Unfortunately living in the centre of town the snow hardly lies and whatever does quickly turns to slush, meh! Makes me wish I still lived up the hills so I could go sledging and make snowmen, haha! But anyway the good thing about being stuck indoors during the bad weather is that I've made lots of new fimo creations and I have lots of new goodies ready to put up in my shop, yay!</div>
<br />Today I am planning a wee jaunt around town with my camera after my little monster awakes from his nap. Hopefully I will catch some nice wintery scenes before all the snow melts away. But before I head off I will leave you with great news about my very talented friend; <a href="http://strawberryanarchy.blogspot.co.uk/">Strawberry Anarchy's</a> amazing give-a-way. She is giving away £60 worth of her new Happy Flower necklaces. Which one is your favourite? Mine is Petunia the happy flower. Have a look for yourself, they will certainly cheer you up, especially if you are one of the unfortunate people snowed in across the UK right now! You better hurry up though as the competition ends tomorrow, good luck! I'll be back in a few days to show off my new fimo creations, see ya then! :)<br />

I realised that I hadn't actually put any pictures up of my craft desk/creative corner and thought that now would be a good time (seeing as it is fairly tidy for a change lol). I had to move my craft desk into my rather small bedroom back in September as my son needed his own room.<br />

It is not ideal as the room is very dark and really tight for space, in fact I could do with putting some more shelves up for everything, but it does the job. It's my own little retreat where I can go and create whilst listening to my favourite tunes. And there's no little menaces allowed, well most of the time anyway!<br /><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
So the festive season is over and everything is going back
to normal. A lot of people are making New Years resolutions which are something
I don’t tend to bother with at all as I would probably only last a few weeks at it anyway! However I am making a few New Years resolutions this year and these are;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) To concentrate more on my creativity and make more stuff!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) To update my blog more often!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bet you were thinking I was going to write some namby-pamby nonsense about dieting, joining the gym and giving up alcohol! But screw that, this is me wanting to get even more in touch with my creativity! And why not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So anyway a quick update on what I have been up to as I haven't written my blog for a while. I had a very busy Christmas, both with The Nomi Faerie and with friends and family. I also received an unexpected tax rebate just before Christmas which obviously went down really well. I decided to quickly spend it on a Christmas present for myself before it got absorbed into the bill fund and I treated myself to a Canon 600D DSLR camera. I love my new camera so much, I have even been calling it 'My precious', hehe!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here's a wee peek at some of the pics I have been taking. I must say it is very handy having my own little star around to pose for photos...</div>

I ended up getting some Christmas money as well (thank you Gramps and Dad). So I spent it on some filters for my Precious... sorry my camera and a printer which I have been needing for years now. So that's me well on my way now, I'm turning into an even bigger gadget geek than my boyfriend which is really saying something, lol! So anyway my filters finally arrived today so I headed down to my local park to catch a few snaps of the sunset. I will leave you with a few pictures I took today but I will be back next week with another blog update, it is my New Years resolution afterall.</div>

You know how I mentioned before that September was a bit of a nightmare month with loads to do? Well, this is the main reason why... getting the wee baba's room ready in time for his first Birthday! And here it is; it could well be a catalogue picture for Ikea because every thing in here is from there apart from the cot!<br />

The main problem was finding a home for everything that was in there before. Since we moved into our new flat nearly 6 months ago now, this room had been used for keeping all the unpacked boxes, decorating stuff, and buggy etc. And somewhere amongst it all if you took 2 steps forwards, 2 steps to the right and then forward again, you would find my little crafty corner. No, I didn't take any before photos though I should have just so you could see the difference!<br />

But it's great the wee man has got his own space in the house now, which is a good job judging by the amount of toys he has. We've barred the entrance as well so now it's easier to sneak off and go to the toilet/put tea on without the little pest getting up to some sort of mischief! And have to admit; Bob and I have been having a bit of fun in the room ourselves as you can see!<br />

Can't believe a year has passed already, I don't know where the time has gone! I managed to pick up this little monster suit on Ebay for a couple of quid and it gave me the great idea to do a monster themed party!<br />

I have been really busy for the last month so I didn't have any time to start organising anything until a week ago. After doing some research online, I came up with a master (monster) plan! If you fancy doing a monster themed party yourself, I highly recommend checking out <a href="http://pinterest.com/showclay/monster-party/">Pinterest</a> for some great ideas! Last week we had a little crafty session where we made some monster decorations, mainly monster feet made out of craft foam by my friend Lydia and a milk jug monster (which I nicknamed Chickenzilla) for which to keep sweets in! I found a great tutorial to make a milk jug monster <a href="http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/milk-jug-crafts.html">here.</a><br />

The next step was to make the Monstrous buffet. It was quite handy the wee man's Birthday being end of September as all the Halloween goodies are out in the shops. So loads of things like gummy eyeballs and body parts sweets etc. We had food such as cocktail sausages (monster toes), candy floss (monster fur) and jelly with body part sweets (monster goo). We even had monster punch which was made up of fruit juices & green food colouring and contained lychees (eyeballs) and a monster hand which was made from putting peach juice in a latex glove and freezing it overnight!<br />

So the day was a great success. We just invited close friends and family so it wasn't too overcrowded in our flat and everyone brought Caelan great presents. We were totally exhausted by the end of the day, although not too put off the idea of hosting a Pirate themed party next year. I will leave you with a picture of mummy monster, daddy monster and baby monster Caelanzilla!<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">I've not posted for a few weeks now but been having a mad, crazy month! Most of which I shall blog about in the near future. Although I am afraid to say it's not all been good creative fun! Dull, frustrating tasks such as clearing out the spare room (dumping ground) of crap! Mainly unpacked boxes, decorating stuff, prams and many other items that we can't find a home for into storage and to the skip have been taking precedence lately. After we get through this annoying part then we shall have an empty blank canvas room with which to get our son's bedroom ready in time for his 1st Birthday... in just under 2 weeks now, yikes!</span></div>

Seems like we're just getting through things in little fairy steps right now. But at least things are getting there slowly but surely. While I was going through things today I found a plastic tool carrier box I had bought out of Home Bargains for a few quid. Originally intending to store beads and the like when I bought it; I thought of a much better use for it today...</div>

I turned it into an organiser for all my fimo, yaaaay! There's a little section for each of my colours and types, a section for all my cutters and there's even a compartment bit that holds all my tools! And best of all; it's all in a case that I can carry about and I can easily find and access what I am needing at the time! You probably think I'm totally sad for getting all excited about this! But I kept thinking about when I was wee and used to love fimo but had hardly any of it, not enough to get really creative, and certainly no tools to use with it anyway. Imagine how I would have felt if I'd have known that one day as an adult (well supposed adult) I'd have all this fimo to play with! I would have been completely over the moon! That's probably why it's so good seeing all my fimo organised and in one place! And here's too many more fimo endeavours... well after the wee monster's lair is sorted out of course, hehe!</div>

So excited in fact that she decided to throw a Prometheus party where we all went to the cinema to see the movie and then back to hers afterwards for some drinks, face huggers and more alien movies! Well the film turned out to be a bit of a disappointment; in my opinion anyway. I have found a good <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/sciencepunk/2012/06/01/the-science-of-prometheus-a-review-containing-a-lot-of-spoilers/">Prometheus review here</a> if you want to take a look but be warned it contains a lot of spoilers if you have not yet seen the movie. But even though the film wasn't the best, the after-party was a great success thanks to Lydia being an excellent host and some pretty cool props! Here are some photos from the night...<br />

Here you can see the giant aliens that we made with the face hugger coming out of them, not forgetting of course the Weyland-Yutani Corporation tape! And on the right a pitcher of Lydia's 'acid for blood' cocktail!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this post I am going to show you how we made the alien eggs, which took quite a few sessions over a few weeks but it was definitely worth it as they looked great on the night! If you remember back in May I posted a tutorial about how to make a <a href="http://princessnomi.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/strawberry-pinata.html">Strawberry Pinata</a>. This is quite similar except on a larger scale. Please note that this tutorial is very time consuming and needs done over a number of different days, particularly because you have to allow time for the papier mache and the paint to dry out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>WHAT YOU NEED</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Extra Large Balloons</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Plenty of old newspaper</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">PVA glue</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Old paintbrushes</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Toilet roll</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Thick card</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Masking Tape</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Scissors</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Acrylic Paints</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>METHOD</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>STEP 1</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please note that this tutorial shows you how to make 2 Alien eggs; one opened and one closed. As with the Strawberry pinata, mix up PVA glue with lukewarm water (half and half) to make a smooth paste then use this to coat the balloons with a few layers of newspaper strips. Remember to leave a gap at the top of one of them to make an opening with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEids1_lnD0q1Bnmwt-4g1rbNHMAZdD_KPmGQIT47Yw5-Xk9WAW-MGfl-UtpOu3UpfRVYgPs2AyFycoBKIXrG2xGtTptRzd-GJW6Ypfno0Zwbe_x7fFdoFfrgz5pcKFVP92X19yFFsHLdY9H/s1600/IMG_3582.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEids1_lnD0q1Bnmwt-4g1rbNHMAZdD_KPmGQIT47Yw5-Xk9WAW-MGfl-UtpOu3UpfRVYgPs2AyFycoBKIXrG2xGtTptRzd-GJW6Ypfno0Zwbe_x7fFdoFfrgz5pcKFVP92X19yFFsHLdY9H/s320/IMG_3582.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> I would advise coating the eggs with quite a few layers of newspaper then leaving at least 48 hours in a warm ventilated area to dry out. If after this your eggs still don't seem sturdy enough then repeat Step 1 again. You don't want to cause yourself problems further down the line!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>STEP 2</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now to pop the balloons and make the lips! I used thick card to make flaps for the open egg and rolled up newspaper to make the lips for the closed one but you could experiment with different things. Secure everything down with masking tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhttOo6HolkxD6NWPI6e5CGjHu8Y5jGB2eOTuZg_SylisPfUHSjlw6hmExPtlqx3gfIzWpBOlns2EdC2YMKgB0oCVNhNJ8h6qiS-E8pREYtS4MX9r9_gE7BJYfMewmsvqgqWMef4Akxn8hg/s1600/IMG_3581.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhttOo6HolkxD6NWPI6e5CGjHu8Y5jGB2eOTuZg_SylisPfUHSjlw6hmExPtlqx3gfIzWpBOlns2EdC2YMKgB0oCVNhNJ8h6qiS-E8pREYtS4MX9r9_gE7BJYfMewmsvqgqWMef4Akxn8hg/s200/IMG_3581.jpg" width="149" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiiA4jNK79dBv1LvwEX_l11s8VB1iIzubstjeosmrng8ELOTtH7n_HEVTBvY4aHqEx0pUQxYQJqqWqMsGifdyg4YXYPCodfkV6h9kAGMHTSqHnU9R5g7GellaC5MoWv2pNqpHG0_eOjdUC/s1600/IMG_3585.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiiA4jNK79dBv1LvwEX_l11s8VB1iIzubstjeosmrng8ELOTtH7n_HEVTBvY4aHqEx0pUQxYQJqqWqMsGifdyg4YXYPCodfkV6h9kAGMHTSqHnU9R5g7GellaC5MoWv2pNqpHG0_eOjdUC/s200/IMG_3585.jpg" width="149" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then cover everything with another layer of papier mache to smooth it all out and give it more strength. You will probably need to give it at least another 24 hours to dry out again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>STEP 3</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now to add some texture! We made giant 'plooks' out of bits of scrunched up toilet roll which we then dipped in the papier mache paste and stuck all over the outside of the eggs. You could add veins instead or as well as, don't be afraid to experiment. Leave to dry out again for another 24 hours!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>STEP 4</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for the fun stuff; to get messy with the paint! We mixed up browns and greens for that more yucky appeal. By this stage we were getting behind time so we roped my boyfriend Bob in to help ... and a wee cheeky glass of wine too!</div>

The finishing touches. Finally we added some pink fleshy colour for the inside of the lips on our open egg and then went over it later with some white paint to make some realistic looking veins.... yuck!</div>

On the whole making the alien eggs was great fun and it even made me consider what it would be like to get a job in the movie industry making props. Although I could imagine that after having made hundreds of them alongside HR Giger in the original alien movies would be a hard slog! So with that in mind I think I will continue to carry along my experiMENTAL creative journey, lol! Please check back again soon for more tutorials and news. Faerie love and sparkles, Nomi xxx<br />
