🌞 Wishing for sunshine 🌅 🌙 Yesterday was

🌞 Wishing for sunshine 🌅

🌙 Yesterday was Moon-Day, and although today is not Sun-Day my workbench is full of sunny earrings 🌞🌞🌞

🌧️ I never thought I’d be saying this, but since returning from the UK, Melbourne has been quite wet thanks to the current La Niña weather patterns!

🌅 Take a little bit of sunshine on your everyday journey with the Sunlight Dream Door earrings or brooch/necklace ✨

🏜️ Whether you’re dreaming of a desert escape or just wishing for warmer weather, I’ve captured this sunray landscape in a mirrored golden portal (the protective masking gets peeled once the pieces are carded or boxed)

📸 Photo of my noggin for size reference - there’s also a choice of earring findings to suit most types of ear piercings (or unpierced ears).

⏰ This design and the Moonlight Dream Doors will be back online very soon, and I’ll be selling only quantities I’ve got assembled and ready for shipping - to receive advance notification of the release date and early access on release day, subscribe to my email newsletter! 🥰

🤏🏻 It’s all in the tiny details ✨ 🌌

🤏🏻 It’s all in the tiny details ✨

🌌 Every piece that leaves my studio is meticulously checked for quality of the painted finishes - meaning nice crisp details and no patchy or thin spots.

🖌️ While it is easier to paint pieces with the protective masking tape on - more often than not, there will be bits of a detailed design where the paint seeps underneath the tape, or corners or small bits that get missed.

👌🏻 Once the masking tape is peeled off I’ll go in and touch up areas where the paint didn’t take the first time and then carefully clean the excess paint off to reveal a crisp and even painted finish.

👩🏻‍🎨 It doesn’t matter if I use acrylics and a paintbrush, or a paint marker - usually I spend time cleaning up and perfecting painted finishes, and I’ve accepted that’s a challenge that comes with this medium!

✨ This is just the front of these pieces - the backs need varnishing next!!

🐇 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2022 🌕 🧑🏻

🐇 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2022 🌕

🧑🏻‍🍳 hello, my name is Christine and I like baking homemade mooncakes (and also laser cutting mooncakes) 🥮 this is the 2022 batch - there (were) 30 of them, but had to sample a few for quality control purposes 😜

🌞🌛 mooncakes are a multiple day project - both the fillings and dough need to be made a day ahead to give the dough time to rest and the filling time to firm up, and they also need two days to rest after baking in an airtight container, so that the outer pastry becomes glossy and the stamped design on top becomes more defined as the oil softens the mooncake skin. These ones probably need another day to become really glossy! There is a detailed story highlight with the making process from my baking adventures in 2021.

🥮🥮🥮 one of my love languages to show love to others is by cooking them food - so I’ll be sharing some of these mooncakes with friends and neighbours this weekend (including the lovely gentleman living on our street who helped me with lifting my new laser cutter up the stairs, and his family)

🌕 mooncakes usually have a salted duck egg yolk inside to represent the full moon (as it is a lunar holiday). These mini mooncakes are a bit too small to put yolks inside!

🐇 there are also rabbit motifs on the top of some of the mooncakes (and my brooch design). This represents the Jade Rabbit, who in Chinese mythology, lives on the Moon with the goddess Chang’e preparing elixirs for the immortals. In Korea and Japan, the Moon Rabbit is usually depicted pounding mochi rice paste with a mortar and pestle 🍡

🥮 I hope all this talk of mooncakes hasn’t made anyone too hungry! Lunar festivals always have an abundance of treats! Also, how sweet are the tiny adorable hand decorated Mid-Autumn cookies by @vickiee_yo (slide 3)🐰😍

🥮 Hop to it - the Mid-Autumn collection has jus

🥮 Hop to it - the Mid-Autumn collection has just been restocked online! 🐇

✨This is a super small release - but I’ve tried to balance getting these pieces listed before Mid-Autumn starts this Saturday, and also how many pieces I have been able to make in the short timeframe I’ve had after recovering from surgery.

🎁 All Mid-Autumn Festival pieces are ready to ship, and will be dispatched within 24-48 hours of your order being placed. I can’t guarantee they’ll reach you before Saturday 10th, but I do offer express postage and if you’re in Melbourne Metro, Sendle is usually pretty fast with delivery.

🥮🥮🥮😋 Now that I’ve baked all of the laser cut mooncakes it’s making me hungry for real ones. Hopefully I can bake some this weekend!

👩🏻‍🍳 Freshly baked Taro Mooncakes 🥮

👩🏻‍🍳 Freshly baked Taro Mooncakes 🥮

🔥 I’m firing up the laser cutting kitchen and preparing a small run of wearables to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival 🌕

✨New for 2022 is a new colourway in the Mooncake Earrings (Taro/Lavender Marble). Red Bean and White Lotus flavoured mooncakes will be returning in both earrings and brooches - numbers will be limited this year as I’ve only got a small amount of the caramel material left for the mooncake “pastry” at the moment and there isn’t enough time to get it shipped from overseas. I’m hoping to have them available in the shop early next week.

🍠 Taro (colocasia esculenta) is a tropical plant grown for its edible root which has purple flesh. Its flavour is mild - slightly nuttier and sweeter than potato! Great as a colourful bubble tea flavour too, in powdered form.

🍠 Do you think taro is taro-rific? What other yummies do you like that are taro flavoured?

🐰 Mid-Autumn Festival Collection Re-Release 🥮

Last October, I did a little mini-release of some Mid-Autumn Festival themed pieces, but I was a little too late to the party! Late August is always a busy time for me as it’s my birthday, and I’ve had to take some extra time out this month to recover from travelling and surgery, but I’m hoping to have these available when my shop reopens next week! (Likely to be September 1st).

I have a few pieces already cut out for the mooncake earrings and brooches from last year, to be able to do a small restock of some of these pieces, and I might add a new colourway into the mix if I have time. The “White Lotus” and “Red Bean” mooncake “flavours” were well loved, and I’m thinking of adding a Taro (purple yam) mooncake to the lineup too!

There have also been a few requests for the Jade Rabbit and the Harvest Moon brooch (first photo) and the Lunar Lantern Tassel Earrings. Please let me know if you’d be interested in either of these pieces - stock for the moon rabbit brooch will be limited due to one of the materials being from the UK.

In 2022, the Mid-Autumn Festival starts on Saturday, September 10th with the September Harvest Moon 🌕 I’ll be making homemade mooncakes again this year after baking them for the first time last year 🥮🥮🥮👩🏻‍🍳

🥁 Introducing: Ziltoid the Omniscient! (my new

🥁 Introducing: Ziltoid the Omniscient! (my new laser cutter!) ⚡️

💫 Fun fact: I had this name planned out for the new laser cutter for a while…I was having second thoughts about the name, until I unboxed the machine, and discovered the factory name of the machine was Devin!

👽 Canadian musician Devin Townsend released an concept album/space rock opera in 2007 entitled “Ziltoid the Omniscient” - Ziltoid is an alien who travels across the omniverse in search of the ultimate cup of coffee ☕️

🛸 This was later followed by a sequel - Z2: Dark Matters, featuring characters such as Captain Spectacular, the War Princess and the tiny, annoying but adorably cute little Poozers!

⚡️⚡️ Long story short, I now am the proud owner of two laser cutters, and they both have space-inspired names that start with the Z and end with the letter D. Not confusing at all! Ziltoid might get called “Zilly” for short 😜

🌬 Because toxic fumes are not cool, I modelled and 3D printed a custom exhaust adapter to connect the back port of the laser to some 6 inch HVAC ducting and a powerful inline fan to extract the dust and fumes.

🌤 Following a small hiccup with the door sensor not working, all systems are now go! However, I’m having a (long time planned!) surgery tomorrow and I’ll need a few days to recover before I’m able to get back on the tools. I’m hoping to reopen the shop towards the end of August, but I’ll see how I’m travelling.

🔧There’s a little bit more calibration to do before I can run the first test cuts on the new machine. I’ve now got a 730mm x 430mm work area to play with, which is more than four times the work area that I had previously!

🤔 Thinking about what I want to cut on the big new laser first - I have the space to do some larger signage and displays now, and decorative pieces like wall hangings…so many possibilities! While I do like earrings, I’m keen to explore other items that are not wearable, but are functional and inspire magical, dreamy spaces. What would you like to see me create next? ✨

🌇 Finding Design Inspiration in Dubai 🏜

🇦🇪🇬🇧 In case you missed my announcements, I’m travelling overseas for a month with my partner! We had a similar trip booked in 2020, which had to be cancelled, and on that itinerary, we didn’t originally plan to stay in Dubai, it was only going to be a stopover.

🍹Currently enjoying our adventures in Dubai so far, despite nearly melting every time we step outside 🥵 it’s been around 40-41°C most days. Yesterday was 46% humidity, so it felt like 52°C 🔥

✈️ There’s a sense of place and travel in many of my wearable art and jewellery designs - whether that’s a fantasy place I’ve dreamed up in my mind, or a real place or time period. I am particularly fond of the subjects of nature and the cosmos, and like encapsulating these subjects in tiny little laser cut worlds that you can take with you.

🕌 I’m really, really enjoying the architecture and traditional Islamic geometry designs found on the older buildings in Dubai. A lot of these patterns carry over into trellises, interior surface designs and floor tiles in the newer parts of Dubai, such as the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa area.

⛓ While Dubai from the outside might appear glamorous and luxurious, do note that there have been, and still are, human rights violations and instances of modern slavery occurring, which is much of what the city was built on. Attitudes particularly towards migrants and women still have not progressed very much.

🛕Going to the Deira side of the Dubai creek on Wednesday revealed a very different reality to the illuminated, glitzy districts in the south that Dubai is known for. The souk (street market) vendors in the areas around the creek definitely were not making a living wage selling kaftans, shoes and mass produced souvenirs for as little as 10 AED (around $3.50 AUD).

🌄 We have this weekend remaining in Dubai, until we fly into the UK - looking forward to the cooler climate! 🏞

⭐️ Stars shine at their brightest in the darkn

⭐️ Stars shine at their brightest in the darkness 🌟

💫 At the core of a star are intense inwardly crushing pressures and high temperatures creating starlight - sometimes up to 15 million Kelvin 🤯

👩🏻‍🔬 Don’t mind me getting scientific here, but I am going somewhere with this analogy, and how it relates to some stuff I’ve been going through with life and Celestial Closet recently!

🕯My creative soul and my usual motivation and drive had been reduced to a flicker for most of the first half of 2022. I had very little starlight left in me. I kept questioning where I was heading next with my life, going from job to job, while trying to keep my business and dreams going.

💡I had new ideas, but not enough time to explore them properly. And when I found the time to work on my ideas, I was completely zapped of energy from working regular 9-5 hours at my day job.

🪐 I’d been travelling in this same orbit for the last 5 years - I started selling my Celestial Closet designs to a wider audience in 2017, and saw CC as only as a side hustle for the longest time, like a tiny moon orbiting a main planet.

🌑 In May and June of 2022, came one of the darkest periods in a long time. I went to hospital twice, needed surgery, and to top everything off, I ended up testing positive for Covid-19. I’m still recovering from the longer term effects of the infection.

🌙 During this dark period, I had space to rest and reflect, and to start finding that starlight inside of me again. I was so afraid to jump into the unknown, but I made the choice to resign from my day job, with nothing lined up.

☄️ Now, I’m still finding and forging my path, but Celestial Closet is now my main job, and I’ve already got exciting plans in the works for when I come back from holiday 🚀

✨Image description: a dark sea green background with a gold coloured fineline celestial pattern, with a teal green rectangle block over the middle third. In white text is a quote: “To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest. Always do what you are afraid to do.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The little things in my business that are just 👌 satisfying 👌

🌩 Making of: The Cloud Stud Earrings ⛅️

🌤 Originally, I designed the Royal Skies Cloud Studs as part of my Lunar New Year release in January 2022 (the oriental cloud motifs also feature on the limited Lunar Tiger brooch and necklace), and they were so well loved, that I decided to release three additional colourways in glimmering pearl white, lilac and aqua. There is a subtle fine glitter and marble pattern running through the material - I use this subtly shimmery acrylic range in a lot of my designs ✨

⚡️These are laser cut with the help of my laser cutter, from 3mm acrylic. The swirly lines on the cloud are engraved first, before the cloud shapes are cut out on the second pass.

☁️ Each tiny, fluffy, dreamy swirly cloud is meticulously hand painted with shimmering metallic silver acrylic before stainless steel stud posts are glued on with a quality gel adhesive.

🌥🌥 Pairs of cloudy studs can be adopted for your ears from my cube shop at @incube8r (online or in-store) and more dreamy cloud studs are due to arrive this week at @theoldauctionhouse and @makersandcollectors

Please note my main online store at celestialcloset.com is currently closed until August 15th, as I’m travelling overseas!

🌥 Cloudy With A Chance Of Whimsy 🍄 is available now at celestialcloset.com ✨

The Cloud Studs are perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your ears - they’re a sweet petite size so they’re easy to wear with masks and lovely for everyday magical adventures 🌟

And the whimsical Amanita Mushrooms are my take on the Fly Agaric mushrooms - in four unique nature colourways representing places where mystical mushrooms could grow! 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

The Celestial Closet online shop will be open until Tuesday July 12th at 5pm - then will be closed for a month while I’m on holidays! I’ll be sending any remaining stock to my Australian stockists, while my shop is on holiday.

For my lovely UK customers, checkout via my website is available with a reduced postage rate, as I’ll pack your order in my suitcase and send it from London when I arrive there in late July (a minimum order value of $260 AUD applies on UK orders, due to the post-Brexit tax rules).

Please note the Dreamscapes restock which was planned, has been postponed. It’s been a difficult few months thanks to illness and life stuff, and I do not have enough time to be able to offer these in this month’s shop update.

🕔 All orders in this shop update must be received by 5pm, Tuesday 12th July, before I close my online shop for a month, while I travel overseas to Dubai and the UK with my partner! Only items that are physically made up and in-stock will be available, due to the short timeframe, as we leave on Saturday July 16th 🇦🇪🛫🇬🇧

😌 Please don’t despair or send me angry/whiny messages if you miss out in this release, it’s not the end of the world! I try to do at least two releases on most of my newer collections (unless they are limited edition items), but to manage my workload and my limited energy due to multiple health conditions, collections will restock on a rolling basis, which may mean the next restock of a particular item is not for a few months.

🔔Waitlist functionality is available on my website on items that are sold out, so you can be the first to know when a particular item is restocked, it also helps me see which items that folks would like to see back in the shop the most 🥰

📣 CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF WHIMSY: Releases 8pm

📣 CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF WHIMSY: Releases 8pm AEST Friday 8th July ⭐️

There are two collections releasing tomorrow night - as well as the new Cloudy With A Chance Of Whimsy collection, there is a new Metamorphia Recycled collection as well - Geode Crystals, containing around 30 new recycled wearables.

The planned re-release of the Dreamscapes collection has been postponed until later in 2022. With only 8 days remaining before my overseas trip I had to reduce the number of items in this release to ensure I can ship everything out before I leave.

It’s a small collection release tomorrow night, but one that has been in the making for months. In this live video, I do a preview of each item, as well as talking through some changes I’m going to be making in my business, so I can run my shop without an impending feeling of anxiety and dread! Only items physically in stock will be available.

Coming in this update are the Amanita Mushroom Earrings (hoops or hook findings available) in four magical colourways, and the Cloud Stud Earrings, now in 4 different colourways! 🍄🌥🍄🌥🍄🌥🍄

Despite the hospital trips, a surgery in May and then getting the Rona (all within 2 months!!), I’ve found the energy to do a shop update this month and I’m super excited to have my shop doors open again! 😍

THANK YOU to each and every one of you who has liked, commented and shared on my posts and stories - and for the lovely messages 🥰 it has been a really testing few months but I’m so happy to be doing what I love - making magic happen with lasers and sharing my magical wearables out to the universe 🌌 - Christine

Belinda is an illustrator who specialises in watercolours 🖌🎨 she’s particularly great at painting portraits, figures and people!

I think we first crossed paths at a comic convention that we were both selling at years ago, and we reconnected recently after finding out we live one suburb away from each other! Yay for local artist friends! 🥰

✨ a wild Christine appears ✨

I’m back…my voice may still sound a bit funny, but I’m back to making magic at Celestial Closet! I’ve been really sick the last few weeks (the spicy cough finally got me, and it messed up my lungs real good 🌶) and I’m now facing the prospect of filling up my (currently very empty) stock wall that has been quite empty for months.

It would be really awesome if the entire wall was empty before the end of the financial year, as it means that is stuff I don’t have to count for tax time!!

Stay tuned for a EOFY samples, seconds and stocktake sale in Stories…and subscribe to the Celestial Closet newsletter to get early access to my big July collection release next week (link in bio).

🌙 June 21st, 2022. The shortest day of the cale

🌙 June 21st, 2022. The shortest day of the calendar year with the least daylight hours (in the southern part of the world)

🤒 I’m quite unwell at the moment, but each day is getting a little better than the previous day.

⛈ A lot has happened in the last few weeks (this is completely separate to the surgical procedure I had last month) which I am not ready to go into details about just yet - I’ll share on my terms when, and if I feel the time is right. Remember social media is often a highlight reel, and real life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.

Today I’d like to share some good things that occurred on this Winter Solstice day:

🦶Did some gentle calf and foot stretching and rolling in the morning after a shower. My physio will be proud!

💻 I spent a few hours in a live Zoom session with the @chromaticalclub folks today. Seeing all the faces of my fellow club members really recharged my social batteries, which were starting to get really low. I also reconnected with some old friends via messenger.

🧶 In my stories, where I still have poked my head up now and again, you might have seen that I’ve been working on a few crochet hats as a hobby recently with some fun hand dyed wool - I’m new to crochet, have been using YouTube to teach myself, and it’s been good for keeping my brain active but in a way that isn’t too taxing on my brain. Close up of my current crochet project in the 3rd photo.

🛏 I napped most of the afternoon. Really focused on resting as much as I can.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tonight I watched a few episodes of the new rebooted Netflix Iron Chef America - it’s extremely cheesy and The Chairman tries way too hard to be like his Japanese counterpart, but also still manages to be an interesting cooking show with some pretty decent food 🍲

☀️Tomorrow is a new day, and there will be more daylight time than there was today. Yay!

⚡️When I’ve got my energy back, I’ll be back in my studio to keep working on the long-awaited online shop restock that has been in the works for several months now 🥰
