SprinkleChick Review~

I haven't done a craft trade in a long while, so when Ashley, the owner of SprinkleChick, sent me a convo on Etsy asking about a trade I was exited!

Ashley's shop features a lot of kawaii accessories that remind me of candy! She mostly has clay and acrylic charms. Probably one of my favorite things is all of the narwhal themed items! 

Onto the review!~

Here is what I got in my half of the trade! I picked out a cute elephant figurine and a lamb charm. Ashley also included a cute handwritten letter, some sticker flakes, and a few extra business cards. I'll probably keep the business cards in my bag when I wear the necklace in case anyone asks where I got it from~!

Here is the lamb charm. You can get your own here. I've never made my own acrylic charms before, but I did consider it and do some research on it. I can tell Ashley chose a high quality supplier to print her designs. The print very clear and the charm itself is pretty thick. I can tell it won't break or damage easily. 

The second item I got was this adorable elephant! Ashley doesn't have the same exact one in her shop, but there is a similar teapot elephant. The painting on this is flawless. It is also sculpted with a good quality clay. It is sturdy and will last a while. I currently have it sitting on my My Little Pony castle. I need to give him a name, but I haven't thought of one yet. 

SprinkleChick gets a thumbs up from me and I will be back in the future to buy one of her adorable Narwhals for my friend. I would highly recommend her shop. She was friendly when we talked on Etsy, quick to ship, and all of the things I got are perfect. Thank you, Ashley! 

New decoden items!

I made a post a little bit back about how I was now carrying decoden cases. Since then I have already improved on my piping skills so much! I am no where near the skill level of some of the other case makers I know, but I am proud of my improvement so far!

These first two cases are still available in my shop!

For the HTC One

For the Galaxy S4

This was a case for the 3DS XL. It has already sold, but I plan on making more cases for the 3DS and 3DS XL soon. 

This was a gift for one of my best friends for Christmas.  She really needed a case for her 3DS XL because the bottom of it was coming off for some reason! Ohno.

This was my first custom case request! Isn't it cute~ The customer had such a great idea. They even drew what they were envisioning out for me so I had a really clear idea of what they wanted. 

When I was doing some deco items I had just a little bit of 'whip cream' left so I decided to make this~ Whenever I go shopping I always save my change in this cute jar and once it gets full enough I take it to the bank to throw into their change counting machine. When it is full it can have anywhere between $20-$40! It takes a while to fill up, but it is worth it and I usually get myself a nice meal or get some new clothes with the money. I used to have a decoden lid on it, but it was pretty old from when I used to work with polymer clay and some of the pieces have broken, so it was time for a new lid. 

And that is it for now! I am really glad I started making decoden cases because I think it is super fun. I am continuing to work on my piping skills and I am thinking about taking a cake decorating class to learn some piping skills. It seems silly, but I think it would really help!

Also, for those on instagram I now have an instagram account! I post a lot of my shop items on there, but I also sometimes post things from my toy collection and some Pokemon I have for trade. I also sell off my extra resin cabochons on there for those that are interested~ I really recommend that if you are a case maker or interested in becoming one that you get an instagram. I see lots of other case makers on instagram and they all seem super successful with it~
