<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Been an interesting week in the Crypt this week. There has been much reflection, mental blocks and whole shit-load of melancholy feelings. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was a combination of factors leading to my melancholia, so I decided to clean my craft room.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cleaning my craft room is something I like to try to do at least once a month it clears my head and I usually stumble across half finished project and then decide to complete them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNu0exae65lrdYVrda_Bt_xnKhPiorvufErn55be61GJnMCN5LefvUbkVICzdCaWL8K3Y7DgSxGQThQR87Whyqjj60apouoLPTNV2oiPwjo39OnUWn2_I_xCQJrFFoloWo6Pz-eiPbu6lw/s1600/melancholy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="147" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNu0exae65lrdYVrda_Bt_xnKhPiorvufErn55be61GJnMCN5LefvUbkVICzdCaWL8K3Y7DgSxGQThQR87Whyqjj60apouoLPTNV2oiPwjo39OnUWn2_I_xCQJrFFoloWo6Pz-eiPbu6lw/s1600/melancholy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But this one was different, I was looking around at the crates and crates of stock I have made, and wondered why those crates and crates of awesome stock hadn't sold. I looked at all the craft supplies I have and remembered when I ordered them & realised how long they'd been sitting in storage waiting to be used. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought of how poorly I had done at my most recent market & wondered if there was any demand for my creations.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've never set out to make millions of dollars out of Crypt Creations</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">,</span> </span></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but it certainly helps to make a profit so I can continue going with my creative journey.<br /><br />Now I know some people may be sitting at home and thinking "Oh no, she's going to pack it in and close shop" But I can't and I won't. The reason for that is: </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love what I do</span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. </span><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love making things, I like challenging myself and I've always been into arts n crafts from a young age. So Crypt Creations will never close. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've decided to take a fresh approach to things, a re-invention. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>CC won't be expressly dealing with just jewellery anymore and I'm planning on discontinuing some of my designs for awhile.</i></span><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've also decided to part with some of my hoarded craft things so I can start experimenting with new projects.<br /><br />I am listing it on Ebay as auctions because I think its the fairest way to sell them as everyone has the chance to bid. I'm not doing it as a grab sale on my Facebook because there are too many vultures following me and copying my designs. Believe it or not I'vealreayd been contacted by people wanted exclusive rights to my destash after I posted a topic in a hand made sellers forum asking for interest.<br /><br />Here's the link: <a href="http://stores.ebay.com.au/Crypt-Creations/SUPPLIES-DESTASH-/_i.html?_fsub=4741427017&_sid=756029127&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322" target="_blank">http://stores.ebay.com.au/Crypt-Creations/SUPPLIES-DESTASH-/_i.html?_fsub=4741427017&_sid=756029127&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime, I appeal to you CC fans: If you see something of mine you like, let me know! A comment on Facebook counts for so much now as it makes my page more visible to other people. Share my page with your friends and family, and buy local. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Respect my designs as well: You wouldn't go into an independent fashion label store and say: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>"Excuse me, where do you get you supplies from? I want to make stuff exactly the same as yours but can't find the same suppliers as yours from Google"</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You'd be so surprised as to how many of these messages I get in a week!!</span></div>

Ever since I was a kid I have been spellbound by it (See what i did there?)</span><div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a lot of sisters and we fall into groups of those closest in age. I'm one of the youngest 3, and when we were little we were always called 'The three' or 'You three' so we likened ourselves to the Sanderson sisters whenever we watched Hocus Pocus, I was always Winifred, cos I was the oldest of the 3. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I moved into my first flat there was a great set of windows overlooking a large group of messy, wild bushes weeds underneath. The first time my younger sister came to vist me I hung out the window while she was in the front yard and started shouting. "Boooooook! Book! Come home, or make thyself known!" and we both fell into fits of laughter. So it was only fitting I make a Hocus Pocus piece. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to make something 100% original and from the heart and one night when I was trying to sleep it hit me: BOOK. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I set about carving it the next day. Using polymer clay I started with a basic rectangular shape and then added the details. Doing the stitches was the most painful part as each one had to be made individually.</span></div>

Yeah I know, you've done everything and been everywhere. Well I can tell you about something thats never been on before!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A special store event at <a href="http://www.brisbanepopculture.com/" target="_blank">Brisbane Pop Culture!</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you havent been to the store yet, then you are seriously missing out. The artwork on the building exterior alone will have you staring in amazement for a good 15 minutes, and then when you get inside you'll probably spend twice as long staring in amazement at their awesome range of products. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll be there in the carpark selling a sweet selection of my hand-made goodness. But there will also be a Delorean, the epic time travelling automobile from the Back to The Future films!</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Given we've been stung recently by a market that didnt go ahead, it would be great to see as many people down there on the day to support local Brissy businesses. Brisbane Pop Culture are even doing a 'Free with Purchase' offer when you spend $50 or more in store. </span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have also developed the sick, probably due to lack of sunlight, stress and not enough sleep. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, I hear you say "Calm down Sheina, everything will work out fine" and whilst I'm confident everything will work out fine on the day, I'm a manic worry-wart, and completely unable to calm myself down. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a very high expectation of myself and my work. And I wouldn't feel right standing there next Saturday morning and thinking, "If I had just pushed myself a bit more, I could have made 10 more of this or 10 more of that"</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also set myself the mammoth task of not only over-hauling and re-designing every element of my jewellery line but I also (rather ambitiously) began designing and making proto-types on a completely new range. I came to the realisation at 1am this morning after a quick evaluation that the range will not be entirely ready for debut at Greazefest like I had hoped but I will have some of it ready. You've probably seen the teaser roller doors on my website. </span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And no, I'm not gonna tell you exactly what it is just yet. I think its such a great idea for a line I'm scared shit-less someone will pinch the idea and concept. But all will be revealed in good time. ;)</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the moment I'm taking comfort in the fact that there are lots of other equally stressed and tired people prepping for Greazefest too, and I'm not alone. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, get your glad rags out Brisbane people. NEXT WEEKEND, I shall see you there. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>Crypt Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03654488145486175484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193206303792689873.post-72404855128789010192013-07-12T22:30:00.000+10:002013-07-26T20:40:51.099+10:00Creative Process: Cooking up Resin Brains!<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A lot of people have been asking me what the heck I'm talking about when I say I'm moving CC into a new more 'self-sufficient' direction, so I thought I'd put it up in a blog post.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My aim is to be able to create my key jewellery pieces in my home, which is where the self-sufficient part comes from. I also want to make my designs as original as can be, so crafting them completely from scratch is my plan. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For an example I have chosen my new brain ring design. The first step is really to come up with the idea, but I can't photograph my brain thinkings so we'll start at step 2. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">STEP 2: Once I have an idea I then need to make a positive object. I make mine from polymer clay because its a very work-able product for me to use. This is my 'positive' brain.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6arb0Klj7ae43wVZKDLrbUTQjYI7yAF6qvcEiWj7qSVDUrEmNGRAirXr3kMu4RNZH4louWJkvodb0ZaRIYw2-qRXRj75uHIxt7HPwPRpTH9qupAW80_RJCJB47_IGEf8fFPLid06IeGND/s1600/P7081205.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6arb0Klj7ae43wVZKDLrbUTQjYI7yAF6qvcEiWj7qSVDUrEmNGRAirXr3kMu4RNZH4louWJkvodb0ZaRIYw2-qRXRj75uHIxt7HPwPRpTH9qupAW80_RJCJB47_IGEf8fFPLid06IeGND/s320/P7081205.JPG" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">STEP 3: Once the polymer clay has been baked, and sealed with a glaze (A process which takes about an hour and a half with baking, cooling, glazing and drying) I then need to make a mold of the positive. I use RTV2 Condensation cured silicone rubber. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9d6kj0SfwJ_D1HQG7k26YVqhdzRsMxP8g5uUbDt8ET0PAx0blyNthEOqgry_5a-oPAteoBZY9lRsNPLqzrpEaOm2jnIeumpjgc-oPgB0wXo4zejanZx6sHnaltzgzousPj_18XybchHEd/s1600/P7081209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9d6kj0SfwJ_D1HQG7k26YVqhdzRsMxP8g5uUbDt8ET0PAx0blyNthEOqgry_5a-oPAteoBZY9lRsNPLqzrpEaOm2jnIeumpjgc-oPgB0wXo4zejanZx6sHnaltzgzousPj_18XybchHEd/s320/P7081209.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">STEP 4: Cast the brain. I use epoxy resin suitable for jewellery castings (and its not too smelly for my little work-room) I tint it a brain-ey pink colour using resin pigment. The resin I use takes about 48 hours to fully set and harden. Its a long process considering I'm quite impatient. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7QmRBSsm0VUc4e5r8NW1VVT3Ee5AjatkPsxIec_9VQXZUH1E70RIxw_xW1VokF6HxZr1ZFNx3cH0eP6Od-ojMpgGdTln3E-c-M4UqStTheYcsuzIpkdvHJFPmZbh-FWbJs6huRlrN2Wu4/s1600/P7081207.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7QmRBSsm0VUc4e5r8NW1VVT3Ee5AjatkPsxIec_9VQXZUH1E70RIxw_xW1VokF6HxZr1ZFNx3cH0eP6Od-ojMpgGdTln3E-c-M4UqStTheYcsuzIpkdvHJFPmZbh-FWbJs6huRlrN2Wu4/s320/P7081207.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">STEP 5: Is to pop it out of the mold, and then do some finishing touches. I paint the brain with a contrasting pink to bring out the full brainy detail. Once the paint has dried and I'm happy with it, I then sand off any rough edges, and seal the whole brain with two coats of resin finishing spray. (This also takes further drying time)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy5dJq0Y-lBMl0AJ6d24K7waFJRL2bNF0SivWTASZQw-2ywg_fT3IG_7F7_GKZE7YNVWH0n-asaYE0ffmw4YdMlcmHFPQhYBqSTdDrcIH4h2HCmDoyadkEjjbPMyGwkB3roEwvVoujOHJP/s1600/P7061139.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy5dJq0Y-lBMl0AJ6d24K7waFJRL2bNF0SivWTASZQw-2ywg_fT3IG_7F7_GKZE7YNVWH0n-asaYE0ffmw4YdMlcmHFPQhYBqSTdDrcIH4h2HCmDoyadkEjjbPMyGwkB3roEwvVoujOHJP/s320/P7061139.JPG" width="320" /></span></a><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">STEP 6: Is to attach the ring finding. The adhesive I use takes about 24 hours to fully bond, so this is another waiting process. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJQmKqifuVeEZEqKb2J5q7k4SdXoctXF4JRMjQnWGpUidq1o_4fwMs6C5_A0kwKJZH0dSCziCEIBBd7ljiSiHGEK4ZXyGDyCX5mzEpgWv7sGx6a3pA6ybT86pU8qMS29Txp-JcG7e9-1Cx/s1600/P7081208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJQmKqifuVeEZEqKb2J5q7k4SdXoctXF4JRMjQnWGpUidq1o_4fwMs6C5_A0kwKJZH0dSCziCEIBBd7ljiSiHGEK4ZXyGDyCX5mzEpgWv7sGx6a3pA6ybT86pU8qMS29Txp-JcG7e9-1Cx/s320/P7081208.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> BUT once its dried I have a nice n pretty pink BRAIN ring! Even though I can get impatient with drying and setting times, its worth it in the end to be left with a piece that I have made from scratch to my original design. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">August is shaping up to be a huge month for me in terms of BIG markets. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up: We are doing Greazefest again. I had such a great time last year I absolutely had to go again. Big update to this years event is that it runs for TWO DAYS (Saturday 3/8 and Sunday 4/8) which means I will be one hell of an exhausted creeper that Sunday night!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For full event details see the Rockabilly Riot website: <a href="http://www.rockabillyriot2013.com/exhibitors/" target="_blank">http://www.rockabillyriot2013.com/</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">THEN the following weekend I have another huge 2 day event at Rockabilly Riot at the Brisbane Convention Centre, which is shaping up to be a massive event with some great exhibitors on board and some huge bands coming to play. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So essentially I will not be sleeping for the last two weeks of July and first two weeks of August trying to cook up enough stock to cover these two great events. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am hyper excited though its going to be great fun. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If anyone in Australia wanted an excuse to travel to Brisbane, First two weeks of August would deifnitely be the time to do it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Well it has been a busy week for me! With the opening of the webstore, I have had a flood of custom orders and sales come through and I'm loving every minute of it!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I still have a full time 40 hour a week job doing accounts for a large textile hire company in Brisbane. Its a stressful and demanding role, and I'm sure most people would think I'm mad when I say I go home at night to work on my own business!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I say that my day really begins at 4:30pm when I get home from my day job. I usually come home, have a quick snack and then dive into work in my craft room (or Crypt as I like to think of it)</span></span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I'm lucky that Mr Crypt is very supportive of me and he puts up with me running out at various stages of the night with half done projects in my hands saying "Does this look nice?" Or "What about this colour combo?"</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">For Xmas he bought me a framed Frankenstein film cell plaque which I have hanging in my craft room (Crypt) I like to think that I am my own version of Dr Frankenstein creating things late into the night. Except y'know my creations are bows, and not big men. <br /><br />(Remember the creature in the story Frankenstein had no name, the true monster in that story was Dr Frankenstein for trying to re-create man. The creature Boris Karloff played is referred to as Frankensteins monster, or the monster)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"> Took me ages but it's very gratifying to go look at it and think "Sheina, you did this all by yourself" And considering I'm not too great with techhy stuff, I am mighty proud of myself. :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I still have a lot more stock to list but that's what this weekend will be devoted to!</span></span><br />

I knew it would be a dreadful chore, but because I want to start 2013 fresh and focused on my crafting, it was a necessary evil. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Crypt heard me
talking about it for some time and did the favour of picking up the
storage drawers for me, (I don't drive so taking these on the bus would
be quite impossible) </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My craft room is a spare room at the back of the house, we have a home gym and drum kit in there so its a bit tight, I really needed to maximise the space.

was super impressed with myself for being so organised and prepared for
this market. But a week of late night craft sessions helped me there.
(I hold down a full time 40 hour a week job, so all my crafting is done
at night in my cave)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #38761d;">It seems little children love to look at my hair, I guess there arent many girls with massive blonde mohawks at Rockabilly shows so I fully understand (and appreciate) their staring. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Throughtout the day there was such a buzz of happiness through the buiding, everyone as smiling and a lot of people were bouncing along to the beat as they strolled through the market stalls. Lori Lee is truly a woman to be congratulated for putting on such a fun and successful event. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #38761d;">As usual I made heaaaapppppss of stuff, so there will be an after sale on my Facebook page this coming Thursday night. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="color: #741b47;">On a hilarious side note, when I set up my tables in the morning, a spider the size of my hand crawled out and disappeared on the patterned carpet. I assumed it had run off somewhere but when I got home that night the spider crawled out of the table leg and crawled off to his home in my shed. I guess he's my mascot now. </span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> It was the best and busiest day of my life! It took months of preperation but it was all worth it in the end. We arrived at the showgrounds just before 7am to find it already bustling with excitement as people set up their stalls. </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I didnt get a chance to get photos of my stall as it was go go go from the minute Mr Crypt and I got there. I'm very happy that I had done a trial set up in my own backyard because it definitely helped me get everything out and ready quickly. The only difficult part was when the hot rods started rolling in, I kept stopping my set up to have a look!</span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The public were allowed entry at 9am and you could feel a definite buzz in the air as people were waiting outside. Once they came in, people were buying Crypt Creations goodies from the get-go! I'm very lucky that I had Mr Crypt, my mum and some sisters along to help me out!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"> <span style="color: #38761d;">I was so overwhelmed with the kind comments from people who bought goodies from me. The most frequest comment was how affordable my items were. Being affordable is something I have always strived for with my little business, so I was incredibly happy to hear that. :) I got so many nice comments that my cheeks actually hurt from smiling I was absolutely buzzing!</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: #38761d;">By the time 5pm rolled around Mr Crypt and I were exhausted and nearly asleep. we packed up as the sun set and got one final photo for the day by a photographer whose mother asked me and Mr Crypt to kiss for the photo. This is a very easy thing for me to do!! </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: #38761d;">He was the best helper I could have asked for on the day. And he put up with me for the months leading up to GF constantly asking him if things looked pretty and which colour combinations looked best!</span></span></span></div>

<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I crafted two from clay, and then made many molds from those. I then cast each bone in resin, and turn them into the funkiest of hair clips.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Since deciding I want Crypt Creations to be my everything I have been plunging all of my savings from the day job into building up supply stocks, marketing, the website, fancy packaging and all the other things you need to spend money on in order to build a business. </span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I have been doing very well in saving all my hard earned money, and I really felt as though I was beginning to come out on top in the rat race. </span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">However a series of unfortunate events has turned my operation on its head. My Grandmother passed away nearly 3 weeks ago now. And while that may seem a long time for such matters the funeral was only held last week. She did not pass in pleasant circumstances, and as a police investigation is looking into her passing I probably shouldn't say any more. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Then to add to that my partner and I's beloved bull terrier Jasper has taken a turn for the worse. We have known he has a heart defect for some time now but it has only just reared his head when he collapsed last week. A rush to the animal hospital left us with a hefty bill and an appointment with a dog cardiologist tomorrow which is going to be an even heftier bill.</span></div>

<div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">To add to his spell of bad luck on Sunday he somehow broke his tail! We were out when it happened so we can only guess what he did but poor little Jasper now has a broken tail and a 'maybe' broken heart. The tail cost us another hefty vets bill. </span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So things will need to take a step down while I focus my time and money on the doggy for awhile. I am still conducting online sales through my Etsy store, the website will hopefully be launched this coming Friday. To raise money for the vets bills I am having 10% off everything in my Etsy store, just use the coupon code: <span style="color: #a64d79;">FABULOUS</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Phewww!</span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">I dont know if its just because I'm a mad perfectionist but building this website has been super hard. </span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">However I am doing it exactly the way I wanted to: all by myself!</span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">I'm a dinosaur when it comes to computers, so teaching myself all the skills I need has been hard but it just makes me so much prouder that I have built something all by myself. </span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Still not sure on the launch date but it is nearing closer. ;)</span></div>

<ul style="color: #6aa84f;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also have a sketch book full of new ideas to make into resin cast jewellery.

<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
