    1. Hi Emily!
      The oil and water don’t mix, so it will give a layered look just to make the potion more interesting. With a bit of a shake the oil will break up into what looks like lots of bubbles, but over time they will join back together. I recommend having a play around with food colour, water and oil and see what happens! Have fun and experiment 😀

    1. Hello! That’s a great question. I have a lot of people collecting unusual shaped bottles for me, usually containing alcohol. The Wildfire I know was made using a Maraska Cherry Wine bottle! The Bottled Dreams however I just can’t remember.. no doubt it would’ve had spirits or wine inside. I have since sold it so I can’t even check the top of the lid unfortunately.

  9. Great series of pics! They document your life in lockdown well. We’ve been so lucky in Tassie but still a chance it can come here again. I’ve been luckier than most with an essential job so never had to lock down in the early days here.
    Hope your family is doing well, stay safe 🙂

    1. Ah we’ve been so jealous of you lot down there! Would you believe we’re back in lockdown again.. one week down and one to go. Just as things seemed normal again, ha! We’re all good though, and it’s warm at home, so I can’t complain 🙂

      1. I did wonder if you were, I expect you’d be better prepared this time. To be honest, I think I’d quite enjoy a few weeks of solitude at home. I do feel sorry for those that live in small appartments though, that would be pretty tough.

  10. Sounds like an exciting transformation is about to unfold for you! I like the new name and wish you all the best. Thanks for visiting my blog, you’ve scored a new follower and look forward to watching your vision evolve 😀

      1. My pleasure! And thanks so much, ‘shrooms and hidden waterfalls are my favourite subjects, there’s nothing like exploring and finding them! 😀

  12. I wish I’d seen this earlier I’d have asked my daughter in law to do one. Her baby boy was born a month ago. It would’ve really been a sentimental piece. Such a lovely idea 👍

    1. Woah lockdown!? We’re not quite at that point yet here in Australia, but I do wonder if we’re being too casual about it all. I secretly want to go into lockdown simply because I want to lounge around and craft all day 😉 I will happily check out your blog, I hope you stay well and get creative!

    2. Hi Jaybird, almost a year later and I have to laugh at my previous reply to you! ‘Woah lockdown!? We’re not quite at that point yet here in Australia..’ – Well, a matter of days after replying to you we went into a very strict lockdown for about three months, and all up I spent 7 months at home, homeschooling (and crafting!) it’s very odd to look back on now. I hope you’re doing much better, I absolutely love your rock art!

  18. You say “Talcum Powder” yet the bottle of baby powder in the photos is the “Cornstarch” type. SO which is it?

    Reply

    1. Hi MikeB, that’s a good question. Short answer is both. You can use either. In the recipe the soft white powder is used to hold everything together. The recipe I was using used talc and I used baby powder which had the same result.

  20. At art school we used plaster of paris and linseed oil, and stirring it up to a completely mixed consistency took all day!! They probably chose that method to keep us in the studios! But, the end product was, and still is magical. It takes forever to get to the end, but the outcome is like nothing I’ve ever tried instead. It has been the preferred method at my alma mater for decades. All the well-known artists who went on to fame and fortune, used it and swear by it. But this method has merit.

  21. Genial !!!! Yo en vez de talco agregó polvo tiza !! Será lo mismo ??? Me da resultado y es mas barato todavia !!! Pruebenlo !!! El q sea mas espeso o líquido va a depender lo q desees hacer y la textura final q desees obtener !!

    1. ¡El polvo de tiza es una gran idea! Debería funcionar bien, gracias por la idea, lo intentaré. / Chalk powder is a great idea! Should work well, thanks for the idea I will try it.

  30. It’s also a great recipe to use as a texture paste. Add a little less water and make it about the consistency of toothpaste. Using an old credit card or a palette knife smooth it over a stencil to make a raised design. This is an awesome recipe – very versatile. Thank you!!!

    1. I haven’t used it as a medium before but you could experiment and see what happens! I’m sure it would work but because it’s white it will change the colour of your paints. I use it as a base for texture or sand it to make a smooth surface.

  48. These are so pretty, ideal gifts for people. The teapots and teacups make me think of Alice in Wonderland, imagine if you could get a stopwatch mould too… packaged with a blue bow it would be great

    1. Thank you 🙂 The teapot mould was from a Mad hatter’s tea party I had a few years ago, Wonderland themed soap is a great idea I love that. OMG stopwatch soap!! Yesss!

  58. Im the same way. Here’s a list of stuff I never throw out and always scoop up when I see at at thriftstores:
    -plain sheets for textile projects
    -teddy bears for endless supply of stuffing for forms and fill
    -lace, doilies, twine and ribbon
    -hardware (hinges, drawer-pulls, handles and knobs)
    -wood scraps from broken furniture
    (I have so many wooden chair dowels!)
    -greeting cards and wrapping paper! Some as old as 40 years from the thrift store! They come in handy for personalizing gifts and paper crafting

    1. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing, wooden chair dowels now they sound interesting! Funny how some things people wouldn’t look twice at but you can see the potential 🙂

  69. Love your invitations! I also made my own, gave me a chance to sit down with my sister and childhood friend for hours while we cut and folded, shared stories, and laughed. We included RSVP cards but had everyone send them via email, we also used Facebook for people only invited to the reception. The big day is less than a month away and we have a rough headcount, I’ve decided to quit worrying and know everything will work out in the end.

    Reply

    1. Only a month away that’s exciting! If it’s anything like ours we still had the head count changing all the way up until the very day.. but in the end there’s no point stressing over the things you can’t change. Relax and enjoy yourself, not everything will go according to plan and that’s ok! We had a few dramas but when I think back all I remember is having an absolute ball, and the things that did go wrong either people didn’t notice (because they had no idea I’d forgotten to put fake moss on the tables) or they become the funny stories we all laugh about 🙂

    1. It was wonderful to have you! What fun indeed, I’ll definitely do something bigger next year. Ah my tiny teapots, a 21st birthday present (many) years ago which was of course a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party 🙂

  77. What a delight to look at. And if I could eat through my computer screen, I would probably leave nothing for everyone else. My favorite bit is the pocket watch in the cup. Super cool!

    Happy Mad Tea Party! ♥

    1. Glad to have you stop by 🙂 I do love to collect pocket watches, although you may notice NONE of them have the correct time! (I’m sure they’re all at least 2 days late..)

      1. Sometimes the last minute things turn out so amazing. I’m already planning next year, too. 🙂

    1. Ooh I am craving the heat! (Of course I say that now..) I would have loved to have some flowers on my table but alas a winter party will do.. bring on Spring..!!

    1. Thank you Kelly! This painting has unfortunately become quite scratched due to moving house so many times 🙁 However.. I plan to re-paint it sometime! Seeing your comment here has reminded me to do so, maybe over the Christmas holidays if I’m not too busy.

  93. i tried to make my wedding cake to resemble DrWho’s Tardis. The day before my wedding last year I started to stack white and brown chocolate mud cakes up to be 35cm in height, glued together with green ganache like the internal tardis colour is at times. I rolled all my blue fondant into strips, put ganache over the tardis shape and started to put the fondant slabs on the side. All my best thought and preparation had gone into how it was going to work, however it didn’t account for one thing. The two days before my wedding the temp outside reached 38 degrees and my kitchen was still 35 when I started. Well the slabs slid off, only the start of my fail. The cake started to slide due to the heat, the ganache wouldn’t set. My fridge was full of wedding good so I couldn’t fit my tall cake in. I panicked and bought ingredients and made royal icing at 10pm. It slid off too!! Arghh. I managed to get it to sort of stick but couldn’t smooth it out so it became “textured” shall we say. Next morning on the big day I had to paint my cake with blue food colouring. But it had slid in every which way possible overnight. I put it under the air con to get it to sort of hard but it was a write off. But me being the arty farty art teacher, decided it was a Van Gogh interpretation of the tardis, just like when the Dr met the man himself in that famed episode.
