Potterhead and Proud!

This morning I was browsing my jewellery collection and decided to wear my Deathly Hallows pendant, made with silver wire.I designed it originally for a Potter loving friend of mine but I was wondering if anyone wanted me to make a tutorial of it and if I had any readers who were members of any particular fandoms so I could create projects to go with your interests.

 If you would like to suggest topics for projects please email me at sophoenixmorton@gmail.com I really would love to hear from you!


        See you soon! Love Soph, xxx.

Shapeways Update!

In the future I'm going to do a weekly update on one of my favorite creative websites, www.shapeways.com, it opens up the incredible possibilities of 3D printing to all of us. 3D printing allows people to create mind blowing objects like mobius strip ball bearing runs (see 1) and Escher knots, inspired by the work of artist M C Escher (see 2).

These are firstly a pendant which I really love and can be printed in steel for £17.57 called "the one ring to rule the ball" by its designer.



Then secondly a sculpture which is a model of a woodcut picture made by M.C Escher in 1965 called 'Knots'.

1) a cool pendant! Design by "TerraCotta" the ball races
 freely around a loop, contained solidly within the
 single twisting wire.

2) 3D printed in white, flexible plastic.
design by "ShapeKays" 

So this is my introduction, in a week I will be back with a post on one of my favorite 3D printed jewelry pieces!

See you soon!  Love Soph. xxx

Small Girl, Big Ideas, Massive World!

Hi, I'm Soph, and its going to be my new years (!) resolution to talk on my blog at least once a week, I'm sure there is gonna be loads to write about, because I'm interested in loads of crafty arty things, and enjoy; science, drama and literature. But I'm going to try and focus on these subjects primarily:

• Creativity; beading, sewing and jewelry making!
• Fashion; what I really love that's out there, and possibly tutorials about how to make your own high-end accessories!
• Interior design; (i know this is technically under creativity, but I want to focus on it quite a bit so here it is) 

On my blog you can expect: lots of !!!!!!!s and a lot of I LOVE THIS! 

see you soon,  love Soph!
