Cake Decorating

This week my friends and I have been baking some cakes, we used a Madeira cake recipe you can find this on my mum's blog, here is the link: madeira-cake-recipe

                                             

This photo above shows me inserting the mixture into the mould.

The photo above shows the cakes straight from the oven.

And the photo below shows the finished cakes once I had decorated them with coloured icing. The one in the middle looks different as it was from a rose shaped mould instead !

Crochet Flower Brooch

I was asked a while ago to make a crochet gift for a friend of my mum's. She didn't mind what it was, only that it was a handmade gift made by me!  I decided to make a brooch that she could either wear with a scarf or clothes or even attach to a bag.

As shown above I made the flower on the brooch by making a mixture of different coloured/sized crochet flowers , I also made it with different thickness of wool. I then sewed the flowers together with matching threads ( as shown above ). Then I added a sew on brooch pin I got from a craft store. I hope you like it :)

My mum's friend was so keen for me to do this special request that she even paid me for my work - I was soooo happy, Masha'Allah.

My Latest Designs

The photo above is a picture of a drawing I made, I created it using some new pencils and a new notepad I recently bought. I based the picture on a cherry blossom tree I saw at a park and I did some birds and a sun-set behind it.

Above is another drawing I made with my new pencils and pad, it is of an apple tree in an empty field.

This week I have also been drawing with my new Metallic Markers that my mum bought me, the photo collage above shows my creations. Below is a photograph of my new markers.

I hope you like my creations.

Trinket Box

I made a Trinket Box recently when I was at my Girl Guides Class. I have only recently joined the Girl Guides and I am really enjoying it, especially when they do crafts! I hope you like it. I am hoping to do some more pottery work with them again soon.

Recent Drawing Designs

This week I have been doing lots of drawing in my spare time. The photo collage below shows you how I made the design for the badge above.  I started with a hand drawing of the design and then I went over it with different shades of coloured pens.

The photo collage below shows some other drawing designs that I have been doing this week. I had a mini private art lesson from a friend showing me how to do shading and I have been trying to learn this technique this past week. I hope you like my designs.
