Bon Voyage Little Munchkins

These little Spirit Charms are on their way to their new home in beautiful gift tins. These floral hinged tins will keep them safe and sound on their long journey to the UK as well as being resusable as their permanent homes, or for other precious things. I wish you guys the best of luck, and hope you will be happy in your new home! Yeah, I talk to them... I don't get out very much  - don't judge me! ;)

Spirit Charm Evolution

My little guys take several stages to reach their final form (Dragon Ball Z ref anyone?). They get sketched, made out of clay, baked twice and then painted – Once their evolution is complete, they look nothing like the original sketch, which is a strange combination of exciting and frustrating. This is what they look like after their second baking, when they still haven’t really ‘found themselves’ yet:

What do you guys think, do you prefer working from sketches & notes, or going for your crafty projects head-on? I'd love to hear about your processes!
