The earrings are getting there...

Today I've been working on some prototype earrings to compliment the rings. It's been raining here today (the kids are on holiday, what do you expect?) so it was nice to have an excuse to stay in and drink tea.

The earrings need a little work, they're still a bit messy. The fixings aren't as neat as they could be and I still can't successfully put a hole in the skelly top to bottom without it looking untidy...but I'll get there!

Lemon Cookies and Orange Skellies

Today I've mostly been eating lemon cookies and drinking tea. I've also been playing with some different colour ways for the skelly bonies. My favourite so far has to be this orange one. It hasn't had it's shiny coat yet, so it looks a little bit dull, but I think it'll be as splendid as the others.

I've also been trying to source some gift boxes without much luck. Finally settled on some sexy black organza pouches until I can find some lovely boxes to present the rings in. My search continues...

Anyway, there are two lemon biccies left in the box. They keep looking at me...Better eat the little buggers before they eat me :)

Ta ta.

Sugar Skull Rings

I've been meaning to create a blog for the "skelly bonies" for bloomin' ages, but I've had so many orders and just haven't had the time. But now I'm hoping I'll be able to keep up with my social commentary and give you an insight into the world of Adore y la Muerto.

Adore y la Muerto sugar skulls are hand sculpted from polymer clay, painted and varnished to give them a nice shiny finish.

Each one is made to order so no two rings are the same. They can be painted in any colour scheme you like. I had one lovely customer last week who ordered 5 different colours, one to match each of her going out outfits. That girl knows how to accessorise!

I'm hoping to create a website over the next few weeks to showcase the designs, but in the meantime they're available on misi.co.uk and soon they'll be on Etsy too.

So that's it for now. I need to pop some more skellies in the oven. Then it's some painting in front of the telly and chomping on some M&S whoopie pies....yum yum!

Bye Lovelies!
Anna
