Calling my fellow crafters, especially those of you who regularly work with adhesives in your crafting…

This post is for you! 💜

What adhesive do you trust most when you need to securely attach one small component to another, like a decorative piece onto a bead?

I’m exploring a few options, as I bought these stunning resin wings in a couple of different colours… but they are not beads, so would need to affix to a bead underneath to support the structure of the butterfly.

I’ve heard 3:1 epoxy resin would be a good shout, but I know nothing about resin, however, I’m not against the idea of using it instead of a glue, if it’ll hold stronger.

Whether it’s a favourite glue type, a specific brand you swear by, or a technique that gives a stronger hold, I’m all ears.

Thank you in advance 🙏

I mocked this up tonight using my usual B7000 glue but it won’t harden enough.

I know things have been a little quiet on this page recently, so I wanted to reassure everyone — I haven’t vanished. I’m taking some time to look after my wellbeing, so I can keep showing up with my best work, whilst continuing to make you smile with my posts.

KW Creatureworks isn’t going anywhere. I’m still working behind the scenes, just moving a bit slower while I reset.

Thank you for your patience and continued support 💚

Fresh cards just landed.

A couple of tweaks after manufacturing issues and now they’re perfect…. And I didn’t even have to fight with Vistaprint to bring this dream to life! Woohoo! 🙌🏻

Emerald gradient, crystal spider, clean layout… and a brand‑new back design that has printed beautifully this time.

KW Creatureworks is officially looking sharp baby! 👌😎

Now, what you going to order from me so you can also get your hands on one of these beauties? 💚😉

It’s been a quiet spell on the creature‑making front in the past few days, and that’s okay. I’ve been spending more time out in the world; family days, drinks in the sun, fresh air, little adventures and just enjoying nature and all its little wonders! 🪲

Always lovely to be with my boys, but also nice to have some quiet time alone to decompress and unwind! 💕

How are you spending your day/evening?

I’ve been basking in the rare UK sunshine in my garden today, (not all day like, ginger skin and sun don’t mix!) glorious!! ☀️

I’ve been surrounded by so many little garden creatures popping by to say hello and yet I still can’t decide what to make tonight! Arrrggghhh!!

Someone please give me a creature challenge… 🤩

Time for something a little different today, a white version of my lovely fluffy velvet spider.

There’s something magical about how sunlight hits a white pom‑pom abdomen — it turns into this glowing little orb.

Pair that with the unique velvet‑spider eye pattern, and suddenly she feels full of personality.

Look at those eyes sparkle! ✨

The sun did all the work for me today. What a glorious day! ☀️🕷️✨

Last night’s creation was some super cute mini red spider earrings with silver-plated spikes! 🕷️❤️

I’m obsessed with how funky they turned out and wow do they look sexy!!…

Shame about the model! 😆

I’ve built up so many beads of many varieties and colours over the years, so I’m doing a little clear‑out of older stock to make room for fresh ideas and some more premium designs.

This hobby is expensive at times!

I’m selling these little devils for just £14.99 plus P&P… and have a few other colour options available (as shown) if red doesn’t tickle ya pickle!

When they’re gone, they’re gone!

I had the loveliest little craft swap this weekend with the lovely Lottie (Charlotte Webb) AKA The Starlight Medium — it’s almost like we were destined to meet! 🕷️🕸️🖤

Lottie makes the most gorgeous handmade candles that truly captivate your senses, and in return I created a super cute green glass/crystal spider inspired by her favourite colour.

Moments like this I adore in my work. When a beautiful soul shares their ideas, their style, and I get to turn that into a creature that feels uniquely theirs.

Every custom piece starts with a person, not a pattern, and this green beauty came together so naturally because Lottie knew what she loved. 💚

If you enjoy beautiful, handmade candles with real heart behind them, go check out Lottie’s work — she’s a wonderful human and deserves all the support.

Handmade supporting handmade is honestly the best!!

Sometimes creativity hits you like a lightning bolt… and sometimes it hits you when you’re staring at your son’s craft set and realise a pom‑pom would make the perfect fluffy abdomen.

Velvet spiders are part of the genus Eresus, known for their thick, plush bodies.

They’re real-life little jewels of the spider world, cute, compact and surprisingly gentle.

🕷️Velvet spiders belong to the family Eresidae and are famous for their dense, velvety hairs.

🕷️Eresus males are often brightly coloured, while females stay beautifully dark and plush.

🕷️Some species are amongst the most devoted mothers… just like me! 🥹

She’s stylised, fluffy, and born from a moment of “wait… this pom‑pom is perfect.”

Creativity isn’t rule-based, sometimes you just know something is going to work… and boy does she rock it!! 🤘🖤
