Christmas Round Up.

Some more of my homemade Christmas decorations...

Handmade candle holders.

I had some cinnamon sticks leftover from my christmas decorations so I had a go at making some candle holders, and I love how they turned out. They're really very simple - they're just glass tealight holders from Ikea, cinnamon sticks, a glue gun, some ribbon and a pearl bead. And then the candle of course!

I think they would have been slightly better with a straight edge tealight holder though as the sticks have a few gaps.

Merry Christmas!

Just some of my photos so far from Christmas 2013 - a very handmade christmas :)

EP Cover.

My photo has been used on an EP cover for the artist Klimeks. I'm very flattered that they asked to use my photo and for the great coverage it is getting!

This design has changed in the 4 days since I made it as the flowers are coming out more, and the colours are becoming more and more vibrant.

I also tried out out the technique at home with some roses and alstromeria:
