Measuring convertion chart (tabela de conversão de medidas)

So here is something to clear some things up



Desenformar gelatina


Várias vezes me deparo com o dilema de desenformar a gelatina, fico muito triste quando tenho mesmo de estragar a sua forma e improvisar para poder servir, maaaasss...finalmente aprendi que basta mergulhar brevemente em água a ferver ou ainda enrolar uma toalha molhada em água bem quente à volta da durante uns 10 a 15 minutos, umas batidinhas na forma virada ao contrário e voilá.

Nice

Polymer clay finger rings


A selection of 
strass
stones
pearls 
rocks mixed with resin and polymer clay
I think no rock is too big or too small to be used in jewellery, and no colour is too much... the one i enjoyed making the most was the pink one in the first row up, second place, with rocks... i used rose quartz inside resin with rose polymer clay, it looked like a candy.
Enjoy...i hope it gives you more ideas for jewellery creations.

Crafted jewellery match


I confess, im not too good with matchings :D 
I make jewellery separately
and let my clients choose and match as they wish...
...but here is one of my selections
the ring rock is made of polymer clay and coated with resin
the earrings and bracelets are assembled by me but where bought separately at those art and craft shops
;)

Leather bracelets

A few months ago i bought leather straps 
not really knowing what to do with them
well since im a black outfits kind of person why not some
black leather bracelets to go with 
:)
But i also made some in brown and white
Very easy material to work with, next time i'll try to make some cool belts

Recycling jeans

Kids grow, jeans grow old, and keep saving them for projects, this is a cute way to reuse old jeans...covering diaries
Just get some ribbons and a hot glue gun 



Polymer clay painting

I did this one month ago and its still not baked
I think i might do it today...i want to hang it on my  wall
I'll show you another picture when its all finished

Feijoada do mar à minha moda


E ainda houve tempo para fazer uma feijoada do mar à minha moda
1 frango inteiro
1 chouriço de sangue
1 chouriço picante
1 lata de salsichas
1 limão
sal grosso q.b
1 raminho de salsa
1 cenoura grande
5 tomates maduros e grandes
1 cebola grande e 4 dentes de alho
1 colher de sopa de cominhos
1 colher de sopa de açafrão
azeite, vinho branco, 2 cubos de caldo de galinha
2 latas de feijão encarnado das pequenas
1 embalagem de mistura de frutos do mar

Corte o frango em pedaços e tempere-os com sal, o açafrão, cominhos, azeite q.b e sumo de meio limão.  Pique os dentes de alho, cebola às rodelas, salsa, cenoura e o tomate para dentro de uma panela larga e funda, adicione um pouco de azeite e água (meio copo) e deixe refogar até estar cozido o tomate. Deite o frango, chouriços e o vinho branco, deixe apanhar o gosto durante uns 10 minutos, adicione as salsichas  cortadas em pedaços do tamanho de um dedo mais ou menos, se for necessário adicione mais água, eu costumo usar a água das salsichas, deixe ferver um pouco e adicione o sal e os cubos de caldo de galinha, e o marisco, passados mais uns 10 minutos adicione o feijão, rectifique os temperos, deixe apanhar o gosto, mexa com uma colher de pau e engrosse o molho com puré de batata caso seja necessário.
Bom apetite.
