Carolyn's Handmade Bouquet's

 
 
These lovely flowers are (Homemade) artificial Bouquet's By Carolyn Robinson.
Carolyn has just started to manufacture these beautiful display pieces ALL by hand using a mixture of imagination and creative ingenuity.
 
This is the first time Carolyn has revealed these amazing flowers to the public, and each time I see a new piece the more they blow my mind, they have to be one of the most original pieces of art I have came across in a very long time.
 
 





If you would like to contact Carolyn regarding these pieces you can catch her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/#!/carolyn.robinson.54922169  and Twitter!  @cruthrobinson

Homemade Jewelery

Hay all,
I recently got very interested in the idea of making homemade jewelery
so I started today, and while it didn't turn out how I wanted, I'm just going
to keep at it anyway.

 I went to an arts&crafts shop and got beads, earring stud and backs, a jewelry cutting pliers and
craft wire, which I'll be honest is very hard to use. don't get me wrong,
bending and shaping it is easy but once you get a shape (Spiral) etc, its
difficult to keep it when straightening out the rest of the wire.

I read online that its sometimes easier to work with Paper clips, so i might
try that next.


Button earrings made with purple craft wire

Button bracelet made with elastic fabric
 band and buttons from a craft store


The spiral earring on the right didn't turn out,
and I still have to make the other one

I owe a big thank you to my creative writing tutor Patrick Stack, because without him I would not have had the guts to share my writing with anyone. Anyway I know that I have already shared my poem but here is the newspaper version anyway. :-D

Dez Skinn And Chris J Thompson annouced for Malta Comic Con!!


Innovator, Writer, Editor and Publisher Dez Skinn and

Pop Culture King Journalist Chris J Thompson Join the
Impressive Guest Line up for Malta Comic Con 2012!

September 7th 2012, Malta

Wicked Comics the organisers of the annual Malta Comic Convention (MCC) and
the promoters of comic culture world wide are proud to announce innovator, writer
editor and publisher Dez Skinn and pop culture king journalist Chris J. Thompson
as their guests to the forthcoming MCC which this year is going to happen on
Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th December 2012 at St. James Cavalier (all floors), Valletta between 10am and 6pm on both days.
With 42 years of experience in the comic industry and more awards and honours than one dares mention Dez Skinn influence on and contributions to the British comic landscape remains unrivalled. Often referred to as the British "Stan Lee",
Dez can best be described as one possessing the Midas touch. From IPC weeklies Buster, Whizzer & Chips and Cor!! to running Marvel UK and launching such titles as Doctor Who Weekly, Starburst – the world’s longest running SF & Fantasy Film Magazine, Hulk Comic and Hammer's House Of Horror, 16 years editing trade magazine Comics International, creating Warrior comics magazine and founding Quality Communications a vehicle responsible of launching properties such as V for Vendetta he created in 1982 and still steers to date, Dez has simply done it all! Also the author of two books; Comix: The Underground Revolution and Comic Art Now,

Dez is currently providing consultancy services to outside publishers, putting together the pilot issue for a new international comics magazine and co-writing a new feature film.

"Dez Skinn is a stalwart of the UK comics landscape, a publisher, an innovator and commentator. Without 'Warrior' magazine, which Dez created, there would have been no 'V for Vendetta', no reinvention of Miracle/Marvel Man. Groundbreaking creators such as Alan Moore and Alan Davis - amongst myriad others - might not have had the chance to find their unique voices enabling them to grow into the renowned creators they are today. 'Comics International' has similarly spotlighted new talent amongst its columns, features, news and reviews. A regular at comic conventions, Dez has more experience in the field than pretty much anybody else I know." Liam Sharp (Marvel/DC Comics) and MCC 2010 guest.




Chris J. Thompson is an internationally recognised comics retailer, journalist, podcaster and speaker who has attended and spoken at conventions across three continents including San Diego Comic Con where he has a yearly panel.



You can
hear him on The Orbiting Pod and Pop Culture Hound podcasts; see his work at First Comic News, Bleeding Cool and various other sites and follow him via Twitter
@popculturehound.

"Chris Thompson has been an avid supporter and permanent fixture in the MCC since 2010. During MCC 2011 Chris and fellow journalist Taylor Lilley virtually led all the talks, discussion panels and Q&A sessions, a role they will be reprising this year.


Through the various mediums he works in Chris is constantly assisting Wicked Comics and promoting the Malta Comic Con. With each visit to MCC Chris returns with a new stock of Maltese comic books to sell in England. On top of all this Chris always works closely with us, gives us sound advice and not only helps us secure some of the most esteemed guests but also helps us co-ordinate some of the most sought after activities during the convention. Throughout the years Chris has been an invaluable source of help, an inspiration in challenging times, an ambassador of both the MCC and Malta at large, and a great friend. This year we decide to invite him as
a guest as a small token of appreciation for all his sterling work. Simply put with out him the Malta Comic Con would not be the commendable and successful convention
it is today." Chris Le Galle co-founder of Wicked Comics.
