Esik Creations Be You : Buy Unique! ESIK Creations came about at a time when I was searching for definition & purpose. George's Market, Belfast.

I was coming to realise that my health struggles would be chronic & sought distraction in new challenges & ways to express myself creatively. I found affirmation in learning new skills & mastering various crafts. After years of trial & error I began trading regularly at St. Almost a decade later I'm still there, every Sunday, 10am - 4 pm. I mainly trade now in Jewellery, some handmade, some wholesale but all unique or unusual. My range tends to reflect my imagination inspired by literature & ancient lore, journeying from Norse gods to Shakespeare, or the spirals, intricacies & knots of Celtic creation. I'm also a stockist of Alchemy England ~ Handmade pewter products of beautiful quality, capturing curiosities of myth & the netherworld. Products are available in our online store or to purchase in person. (Webiste: https://esik-creations.square.site)

2020 & its anxieties & isolation promoted me to explore another great love which I have flirted with over the years but never really developed. As a result, I now have a slowly growing portfolio of original artwork mainly being sold on the Print on Demand site, Redbubble until I find my feet and artist's voice! You can visit my shop here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/ESIKCreates/shop?asc=u

St George's Market itself is worth a visit, minutes from Belfast city centre it's home to a wide variety of gifts, hand-made, local crafts, antiques & food. The atmosphere is vibrant with live musicians, culture & global visitors.

Another work in progress today I’m afraid.
Watercolour class week 4 🎨

I’m still overworking the paints. I spent over an hour just doing the red caps & then, running out of time, speedily splashed some paint on in like 20minutes for the rest of the image & actually the looseness this forced looked so much better!

Think I might have to try “speed painting”. ⏱️ Time & force myself just to go for it! 🤣

Anyway, these autumny mushrooms 🍄 still aren’t finished. When my acting commitments calm down again I’m hoping to come back to a lot of my WIPs but for now, here’s this week’s progress…!

P.s. bonus octopus 🐙 which I finally finished inking! Again…paint will hopefully follow! 🥰

Watercolour 🎨 class: Week 3!
I didn’t even make it to the watercolour stage! 🤣
I started inking this rascally octopus & got a bit carried away in the detail! 🤦‍♀️
As you can see this is very much a work-in-progress!
I am busy swamped with my other creative outlets at the moment 🎭 but will try to finish him when I get the chance so for more octopusy updates, follow along! 🥰

Halloween 🎃 is coming & the crafters are getting freaky, embracing the imagination & magic of the spooky season! Boo 👻

I was hoping to get a few designs released for October but I’m pretty busy being “dramatic” but here’s a cute wirework cat for your timeline! 🐈‍⬛

Hopefully releasing a full tutorial next week. In the meantime if you want to check out my linktree (in bio) for tools & materials you can get all set for crafting your own kitty!

Limited pendants also available for purchase, just comment or DM me for details. Thanks 🖤

Week 2 of my learning watercolour painting 🎨 journey!

Thoughts after Week 2 art class!

One thing I have learned is, so much depends on the quality of the materials you are using. I rocked up week 1 with a £13 watercolour set from Sostrene Green and a budget pad!
Our tutor let me try out her paints & I bought quality paper & the difference was astounding! 🤯
Not only that but the quality student paints were even cheaper than the “budget hobby” stuff but so much more creamier & easier to blend on the gorgeous new paper.

(So I’ve added a few recommendations to my “materials and tools“ link page which you can find on my link tree in bio)

Watercolour class day 2 - adding ink for illustration! 🥰
Something a little more autumnal & Halloweeny for our reference photo this week! 🎃 👀
It that a moth or an upside down owl 🦉?
Haven’t decided whether I’ll do more to this or not but I need to buy pens either way! 🤦‍♀️ stationery ju**ie!

First Watercolour Art Class! 🎨 😬
I’ve tried a couple of times playing around with paint on my own but that dastardly medium defeats me & at some point or another I inevitably make a Horlicks of it! 🤦‍♀️
So I’m quite pleased with attempt numero 1!
(Turns out better quality paint & paper also help!)
But yes, even here, I still over worked it & although watercolour, I think, is usually quite a quick medium(?) it still took me 4 hours!
Awh well, practice makes perfect & all that so let’s see if I can manage to improve in 10weeks! 🤞

Just a short demolding clip of some new experiments with SMALL epoxy resin blooms 🌺

A few were total disasters. Most of these pendant moulds are no bigger than 3cm & I struggled to get the amount of resin to ink to white pigment correct, flooding the mould in colour & they came out blotchy messes 🤦‍♀️ but I liked these two & decided to try something different, breaking the rules of bloom backing by using up some white pigment paste epoxy I had left over!!!

I like the result, what do you think?

Most resiners avoid white as it blurs with the white sinker losing design elements or doesn’t provide enough of a contrast but I think with these specific blooms, it worked!!! So don’t be afraid to stretch the odd rule occasionally & listen to your creative instincts 🥰

Today’s works in progress!!! Trying resin blooms 🌺 on a smaller scale. Struggling to get the resin to ink to paste ratio right with so much less resin! 🤦‍♀️
Looking good so far but the delight & despair of resin is you never know how it’s going to settle & look until you de-mold it!
Fingers crossed!!! 🤞

P.S. I’ve updated my linktree in my bio with materials & tools I’ve used & recommend for anyone who wants to give this crafting thing a go! 🥰

Making more of these little fellows for the Sunday market. So grateful to all those customers who have already taken a little piece of sunshine ☀️ home! 😊
Not sure how well they will continue to sell as autumn sinks in but I’m working towards some Halloween 🎃 ideas too with my copper wire so watch this space & thanks again 🥰



PS full tutorial/process video for these is still available on my YouTube craft channel @ esikcreations or by scrolling back through old posts

A message of thanks ☺️ & a message of explanation for my followers as my 6 month social media experiment draws to a close 😢

Any feedback or advice, as ever, is most welcome & any engagement & support is greatly appreciated but it’s time this artsy crafter got back to actually developing & creating 🎨

I’ve been burning myself out trying to harness new revenue streams & failing & even though I have enjoyed the journey & learnt so much, it’s time for a break & new challenges. Anyway, I explain all in my ramblings below👇

I’m also so stubborn or, as my granny used to call me, “thrawn” that I’m scared I’m incapable of giving up 🤣 but we’ll see!

Massive love & thanks to each & every one of you & I’ll see you soon 🥰
