Hi there everyone and welcome to my blog! My name is Lauren, I'm 19 years old and I live in Glasgow. I'm a blue eyed, blonde haired vegetarian Lady Gaga and Owen Wilson fan. I love more than that, but it would take up more than one page. Well, alright here goes; Memebase, comedy movies, squirrels, ducks, Disney, glitter, Jem and the Holograms, Thunderbirds, Avengers, shopping, arts and crafts, Katy Perry, The Sims 3, Family Guy. I don't think I can breathe after that sentence. I mostly learned how to make jewellery myself, although some of it was taught at a local bead shop, which is my favourite place for a bit of retail therapy. So far I have just been making little practice pieces, gifts, etc, but I hope that someday I will be able to sell some of my work (not the one-of-a-kind stuff, that's for myself, family and friends only). The only things standing in my way is:
1) Not enough creative criticism
2) I have no idea how to tax what you sell online
3) I have very little knowledge of how to sell online
As you can see, help on those would be welcomed! Feel free to look around the blog, leave comments on pieces you like or think could be improved, follow the blog if you like what you see and vote on the poll!

Loadsa love,
Lady Hansel nee Zoolander (had to change it. Owen Wilson beats Ben Stiller this time!)

Finally, Fimo!

I bought a load of Fimo clay at Christmas, but never got round to using it...until today! The top one is meant to be a Jazzie (white chocolate discs with 100s and 1000s sprinkled on them), the left is a Haribo heart, and the right is a lilac Party Ring (iced biscuit). These cabochons are going to be used for my candy projects. I was surprised how little I used too, I've still got tonnes!

One last thing tonight...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY GAGA!!! Mother Monster turned 26 today. Also it's Vince Vaughn's birthday, so happy birthday to him too. You're hot Vince, but you're not Gaga hot. <3

Boom, Boom, Boom...

This is actually an old picture of a hairband I made inspired by a plethora of Katy Perry songs (I think you can guess the main one, right?) I'm planning on making the same again in different colours.

Beaded link bracelets

I made these with wire plus beads. I even added a charm to the one below, and for the bottom one I used coloured wire. OPINIONS PLEASE!!!



Yet another shamballa bracelet

I know, another one, pink this time! What do you reckon?

Trying something new...

I know, the picture is sideways and my computer won't let me rotate it right now, but I just really wanted to post this! I made this pineapple from seed beads, Swarovski bicones and a flowery leaf-shaped bead I got in a bead gumbo.












My first Shamballa (Tressor Paris style) bracelet! What do you think of the colours?
