My Galaxy Shirt DIY project

Recently I stumbled upon one very interesting project - galaxy T shirt. The moment I saw it, I just knew which shirt I was going to use. I rarely do projects for myself, so this was a special treat.

The instructions couldn't be precise regarding how much you have to dissolve the bleach, because it depends on product, so it was basically a risk, so I used other shirt, which was already old and worn out, to experiment.

And here is the result of the experiment No. 1 :)

Obviously, I dissolved bleach too much. The shirt looks more like tie-dye, than a galaxy...

Since this was unsuccessful experiment, I did not want to waste time or fabric paint to add stars.

Since I ran out of old shirts which could serve the purpose of this project (it had to be one color, dark shade T shirt), I had to work on the shirt I wanted to refashion.

So, this is the result of the experiment No. 2 :) 

Not quite what I wanted, but I think it looks good. I couldn't take better pic, because it's very cloudy and raining today (and it will rain for next 3 days), but I promise to take photo in the shirt on the first sunny day.

Flowers, hair accessory and bridal accessory

I've opened a brand new shop on Etsy! I named this new shop Wendy's Flower Shop. This is my second shop, and it's flowers only shop, because flowers deserve to be independent ;)

In this shop I offer various types of flowers, which can be finished as brooch pins, or hair accessory. I also have special flowers for brides. Most of flowers can be used for different crafts, since I left my customers to choose whatever finishing they like.

From most simple flowers, to rich flowers with freshwater pearls or gemstones - there is a flower to suit everyone's taste and needs. Browse my shop, and if you cannot find what you are looking for, contact me, I will be more than happy to make flowers just for you.

If you are skilled in crafting, you can buy downloadable Step by Step PDF tutorial, and make your own flowers. 

Valar Morghulis

Here's another bag inspired by Game of Thrones. I really like when they greet each other with these words. At one crafts show, a man greeted me with "Valar morghzlis" -  I have managed to react quickly and reply him properly with "Valar dohaeris" :D The thing is that it wasn't a fantasy themed crafts show, so people around us were staring at me, puzzled LOL

Game of Thrones inspired hand painted bag - Valar morghulis. Valar morghulis means "all men must die" in High Valyrian. Avaliable by custom order directly from me or from my Etsy shop and DaWanda shop.

Mystery

I really don't know what happened yesterday, maybe it has to do something with my twitting activities, but I've had enormous number of visits on my blog. While it remains mystery to me, it gave me motivation to post on my blog, which I have neglected ;)

Since my last post with my products, I've made many new items. I'll start posting them one per day.

I am very busy these days, trying to recover my online shops on Etsy and DaWanda from oblivion, because I've made a huge mistake and set both my shops to "Vacation mode". That I won't do ever again, but I mean EVER! My Etsy shop was more affected than the one on DaWanda, and I am still struggling to get traffic from search engines.

I also opened second shop on Etsy. Flowers by Wendy is flowers only shop, because I've learned that flowers need to have a separate shop.

Today I am going to present one hand painted vintage army bag, which was inspired by Game of Thrones. You can guess that I was inspired to make this bag enchanted by the amazing character in GoT season 4 - Prince Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper, brilliantly performed by Pedro Pascal.

The bag is ready to ship, and it's available directly from me, or from my online shops on Etsy and DaWanda. You can read a detailed description of the bag below.

Unbowed Unbent Unbroken - Martell sigil and motto, Game of Thrones inspired hand painted army bag. Vintage Yugoslav Army (JNA) messenger bag convertible to backpack with hand painted Game of Thrones House Martell sigil and motto. The sigil is painted with high-quality German and French textile colors, washable up to 40 degrees C (104 F). It is a heavy-duty bag and can carry a lot of weight. 

The year of production is 1978 (it has a stamp inside). It has one spacious pocket on front side, and two pockets inside (one can be inverted outside the bag and still carry load). The bag is convertible from backpack to messenger bag - it has two straps which can be detached and converted from backpack straps to shoulder / crossbody strap. The straps are padded to secure comfort while carrying heavy load. It has two additional straps on the bottom for carrying objects (such as umbrella). 

Since the bag is vintage, it has some traces of using, such as slightly faded parts of surface, and leather straps need to be regularly treated with leather care products (or neutral shoe wax) to prevent drying and cracking.

Approximate dimensions: W 11" (28 cm), H 10" (25 cm), depth 3 1/2 " (9 cm).

SHIPPING:

The bag has a lot of metals parts, so it's quite heavy, and therefore the shipping cost is higher than usual. If you would like it to be shipped via Express Mail, please convo me, to adjust the shipping price.

Unless the customer requires other shipping methods, products are shipped with Post of Serbia, as a registered item with status tracing. This shipping method does not include insurance. If you would like the insurance added or express shipping, please contact me before making a payment to re-calculate the shipping cost. Items lost, stolen, or damaged in transit, are not eligible for refund or replacement.

Warhammer ETC 2014, Novi Sad

Although it is officially named European Team Championship, it's actually World Team Championship, because there were teams from at least 3 other continents. More than 1,000 participants, took part in this joyful event, from 6-10 August 2014 in Novi Sad, Serbia.

We didn't play, we participated as exhibitors :) but we had great time.
