We're still here, but we're moving very soon!

A short while back we announced that we would be migrating most of our blog posts to our main site, which is www.craftallday.co.uk as while this blog has been fun, it hasn't brought a lot of traffic to the shop.

We are now posting primarily on Craft All Day, which you can read at www.craftallday.co.uk/MyCraftyBlog, or click right here!

We love craft, we love crafting, and we love craft products, and we also know you do too if you're reading this! So please join us on our main site, again www.craftallday.co.uk, and you'll be the first to hear about discounts, deals and clearance sales!

A New Special Resin: The Mighty Pegasus!

Today it's quite miserable outside, which can only mean one thing, lots more crafting inside where it's warm and dry! Also, to help lift your spirits metaphorically and somewhat literally, check out our newest resin piece... the mighty Pegasus!

The winged divine stallion is usually depicted as pure white in colour, making this resin even more perfect! In the original Greek mythology, he was sired by Poseidon, the god of the sea, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa.

Greco-Roman poets write about his ascent to heaven after his birth and his obeisance to Zeus, king of the gods, who instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus. Friend of the Muses, Pegasus is the creator of Hippocrene, the fountain on Mt. Helicon.

He was captured by the Greek hero Bellerophon near the fountain Peirene with the help of Athena and Poseidon. Pegasus allows the hero to ride him to defeat a monster, the Chimera, before realizing many other exploits. His rider, however, falls off his back trying to reach Mount Olympus. Zeus transformed him into the constellation Pegasus and placed him up in the sky.

So there is a lot of history behind these pieces, and the striking images and resins will bring a life a whole new layer of detail and context which people of all ages can appreciate! Perfect for children who love fantasy creatures, those with mythological interest, and those who appreciate historical stories!

If you would ever like your work to be featured on our social media channels, please feel free to email us at sarah@craftallday.co.uk, via our main Facebook page, via our Resin Facebook page, via our Instagram page, and or via our Twitter page!

Now Offering: Coloured Resins!

So on this gloomy Tuesday in the Midlands, we'd like to cheer everyone up and introduce some colour to your day! We are now very pleased to be able to say we can now offer coloured resins, in at least 8 colours and more on the way, for just an additional 20p-40p depending on the size.

As an example, we've used one of our favourite resin pieces, the window/picture frame in 8 lovely colours:

As you can see, some of the colours are subtle, some of them are very bold, but all would be perfect for most types of cards and projects!

The beautiful darker and more subtle colours would work brilliantly on a retro background, or for something that needs a more vintage or steampunk look, whereas the brighter colours would work great on a child's card or for something upbeat and funky!

The paler colours are perfect for more classy and antique types of cards.

If you like any of our resins, and want them coloured in any particular option shown above, just let us know which number you like the look of, and we'll colour that resin! As said before, it only costs an additional 20-40 pence to give them that extra bit of depth and reality with the colours, so why wait? Get them while they're hot as we say!

If you've enjoyed our products and would like your work shown on any of our pages, just in get in touch at sarah@craftallday.co.uk, or via our main Facebook page, our Resin Embellishment Shop Facebook page, Instagram page, and or our Twitter page and we'd love to share what you create!

A very special new resin piece, and some exciting news!

NEW RESIN PIECE!

So today we wanted to showcase a very special new resin we have available, the Noah's Ark resin embellishment!

We put it on a cartoon sea background to show an example of how it could be used, but as with most embellishments there are an infinite amount of things you can do with them. They can be painted, glittered up, speckled, or even have a magnet attached to the back so you can have your very own unique Noah's Ark fridge magnet!

The detail on this piece is incredible, clearly showing a giraffe, elephant, rhino, bears, cows, sheep amongst other animals, along with Noah standing proudly on the Ark! They could be easily painted to make them stand out more, but even blank they still pack a real visual punch.

You can either buy them via our Facebook page, or the website.

BREAKING NEWS!

Now, you're probably wondering what our exciting news is, right?! Well, we're very pleased to be able to say that we at Craft All Day will very soon be stocking Foamiran, so you can make your own super realistic foam flowers quickly and easily, with astonishing results!

These fantastic foam sheets allow you to create beautiful flower pieces which you can combine or have as standalone items. They are flexible and durable, meaning you can have a lot of fun in making your perfect flower!

We will be stocking white, cream and olive coloured foam sheets at £1.60 and sized at 30x35cm, which we expect will sell out quickly, so act fast on these ones!

Monday: Back to work, back to resin!

It's that dreaded day of the week again; the back to work day, the back to school day, and the general day we all dislike... Monday!

However, we're here to cheer you up with some new fantastic resin pieces we now have available on the website!

 

A beautiful bunch of flowers that you could paint in a variety of colours!

 

A classic corset, perfect for a woman's card!

 

A Hello Kitty figure, complete with body!

 

A Hello Kitty head! (Perfect for kids and big kids alike!)

So as you can see, with our ever expanding range of resins, there is so much you can do to add to your craft projects and give them more depth and content! We personally love these pieces as they allow you to paint them, glitter them up, stick them anywhere, and you could even attach a magnet and have it as a fridge magnet if you wanted!

Resin Embellishments!

So in recent weeks we have noticed a significant rise in interest in resin embellishments that we have been making, which can be painted or left blank and be used in almost every crafting project you could imagine! In response to this, we have set up a new Facebook page here, so you can check them out and buy some if they pique your interest!

We have a very wide range of products available, from small owls and clocks, to larger horses and floral decorative pieces. You can see just a small percentage of what we have available already on the Facebook page itself, and we will be adding more images each day as we have a lot more to show you! We intend to expand the range and will also be adding them to our main website, www.craftallday.co.uk, so you can purchase either from the page directly or the website itself.

These wonderful resin casts are very sturdy and mean you can make your cards more 3 dimensional, and give them a unique touch that will make them stand out by a mile. The wide variety means that you can embellish your craft projects intended for women, men or children alike. The texture of these casts also allow you to paint them with any colours you'd like, glitters included, or you can leave them as they are, with a marble/cream type of colour and feel to them.
