Finished Tile Clocks

Here are my clocks with the guts in them. It was a task getting them here. I spent days contemplating how to order them and where. With a Fairy's help (Thanks MaryJo), I was able to narrow it down and not pay more than I should :). You can purchase these off etsy.com I have found some great stuff for better clocks, in the last few days. These are the first few. They're going to get better....Stay Tuned :) TY

Ordering our products

Most of our products are listed for sale at http://www.etsy.com/.  However, FYI we have two accounts open.  The Utah products are listed under maitykreations and the Alaska products are listed under maitycreations.  We are one and the same.  Unfortunately, for the present time, we had to do it this way to keep our shipping and billing information straight.  It will be merged eventually, just know that we are both. 

Find us on facebook at Mai Ty Kreations. 

Special orders are welcome.

Thank you for your support

New Hair Clips

Here are the latest hair clips.  The two Pepsi ones are being sold as a set.  Many of our products are listed for sell at http://www.etsy.com/.  The flowers are most easily found by searching for Aluminum hair clips.

This is one of the funner quotes I think I've done. Especially during our voting season.

A FEW CLOCKS

Here are a few of the Clocks I've been working on. I've learned a few new tricks to doing these. Like making sure that the layer of glue is put on the tile, not the paper. And to let it dry face down. This seems to eliminate bubbles under the paper. It's been fun coming up with different ideas. These are more for teachers, or for a homeschooling home, which there seems to be a lot up here in AK. The middle one has sparkles on the butterflies, and the frogs that you can't see. I've finally ordered the guts for the clocks. So soon as they arrive I'll put them together and get them out there. If they don't sell online, they they will go with me to the Bazaar on the 20th of November. -TY

Hair Bows

 Here is Kaiya's creation.  These are hair bows made out of beer/soda cans.  They take a huge amount of time but I have to say the finished product is awesome.  That is why she is considered our abstract thinker.

The First Block

Hard to see, but these are all dirty

Completed Product lit

It has been quite the process getting to this point in the block project.  I bought the blocks used so there has been a lot of time spent on cleaning and prepping.  Hopefully now that I know what I'm doing with software and other things, many more will be coming soon.  I couldn't have gotten this far without some help from my family.  To all of them, THANK YOU :)

Clocks

This has been by trial and error. Making the hole in this piece of tile has been a week ordeal. I've researched drilling ceramic tile. I've learned that you can't just use a normal drill bit. I've learned that most people would rather have a work bench, but isn't needed. I've learned that measuring is important. I've also learned that these are truly unique. NO ONE, makes them like me. I've gotten some equipment to make this happen easier. Like soft clamps (that's what I call them), a diamond drill bit (that wasn't cheap), modge podge, some yarn, some chalk (very helpful for measuring), and some patience :). I'm waiting for the clock guts to put in this. I'm excited to have this posted on Etsy. It will be a lot of fun to get some unique things sold.

THE FIRST CREATION

Here is the first creation. I've spent this evening tearing apart frames and getting them ready to vinyl. This is for the bathroom. I'm going to add some ribbon for the hanger and call it HAPPY :)

This is behind a darker wall....

THE BEGINNING

To start our journey, we have to start with supplies. Why spend hundreds of dollars when you don't have to? You can spend a fraction of the cost by using used things. Watch for thrift stores, and online used options like the local classified ads, and your online craigslist, and freecycle. Some of these are so fun to look at, but when you can bring them home and make something worthwhile out of them, makes it even better. This is our task and we WILL accomplish it.
