saturday scribbles

i made a couple of promises workwise in last week's saturday scribbles, and although lazily, i've actually managed to stick to them! all in all it's been a mostly unproductive week, but i've worked my way through five commissioned magnets, doodled up some jewellery ideas and began making them, and finally gotten around to completing some more dogs for my doggy a-z, which i plan to finish off for good this weekend (come on robyn!!) when that's completed and i'm happy with it, i then want to move onto a hand written typography project i've been wanting to tackle all summer so it can be completed before my move back to university, but again it's going to require me to make an extra effort to bloody well motivate myself, which so far i've really struggled to do; there's just something so appealing about wasting away my days watching daytime television with my mum, sigh.

saturday scribbles & £5 towards your first etsy purchase!

so after spending a while playing around with clay, i've finally gotten around to adding my creations to my etsy shop for you to snap up if you so wish it!

i've had lots of fun creating my doggy magnets, and one could be yours to keep your notes looking cute on your fridge (or to simply just add some doggy decor to your surroundings as they'll stick to most metallic surfaces) for just £5! i'm happy to create different colours of the breeds i've listed, and i'm also happy to create some new breeds altogether, so if you'd be interested in a jack russell, bulldog or perhaps a pomeranian, please do feel free to email me at robynmakesthings@gmail.com and i should be able to arrange that for you!

i've also listed some of the items i made surrounding my 'afternoon tea' theme, so if you'd like a dainty little teapot, cupcake or yummy slice of cake to wear around your neck, you can do so for £8! i'm not too sure if i'll be making any of these again because they're fairly time consuming, but only time will tell.

you can find all of these items now listed in my etsy shop, but do you want to know the best part? etsy are offering you £5 towards your first ever etsy purchase, so if you were to redeem it you could bag yourself a necklace for just £3, or a doggy magnet for absolutely nothing! simply click the link i've provided below and it'll take you through to redeem your free fiver!

as far as i know, the free £5 can be spent on any etsy item of your choosing, so if you don't want to purchase anything from my shop, you could still treat yourself to some goodies from some other talented creatives. some of my favourite shops are emma carlisle, lize meddings and andsmile if you're in need of some inspiration!

thanks for your continued support regarding my illustration work, and enjoy spending your free £5!

saturday scribbles

once again i've left photographing this post until the last minute and have ended up with poorly lit pictures, sigh. will i learn?

this week i've poured my 'me time' into getting to grips with clay and have made a few different bits and bobs, some flat and some 3D. i began by playing around with some simple characters to use as brooches and am pretty happy with the way they turned out! i've also ordered some magnetic backing to turn my characters into magnets to use on fridges, wall boards etc. to keep notes and such in eyesight.

i also played around with an 'afternoon tea' jewellery theme and moulded some 3D pieces which were fairly challenging but lots of fun to make! i'm not too sure what the direction of this project is yet, however i'd love to hear any feedback as i've toyed with the idea of putting them up for sale in my etsy shop, however i don't want to do so if there'll be little to no interest! so yeah, please do feel free to hit me up with any comments or suggestions down below :) thanks!
