DIY Doctor who River Song's Diary


Hello Lovelies :)


      Hope everybody's keeping well..I haven't been able to do much of the Diys past few weeks with work. But summer's coming so I'm planing to do few tutorials of summer dresses :D hope I will get time to do as I say lol (#1 rule Doctor lies! Maybe I do too xD)

Grab your Sonic screw drivers because we are going to save the world with a journal update today.. Yeah hm hum..badass

As you may already know I'm a huge Doctor who fan aka a Whovian.. I was going through Pinterest few days ago trying to find a DIY tutorial for River songs's diary.. But I had no luck. The only tutorial that was there wasn't there anymore..If that makes sense.. 

So here is my take on the infamous Diary :)

You will need..

- A sheet of craft foam 
- Tissue (later I used toilet tissue paper lol)
- Some glue
- Pair of scissors 
- Tardis blue paint
- Ruler
- Blade

And of cause your Sonic Screw driver.. Pfft I mean then whole process would be nothing without it..

Oh and don't forget some epic background music..HERE I found like The most epic mix ever.. I mean EVER!


- This is my boring old Journal I do sketches on



1. First I covered my journal with some watercolor paper so I can hide the binding and provide a great light background for a even paint job.


2. In advance I actually sketched down how I need the structure to be so I could measure out how much foam I will be needing



3. This is how it looked like after I covered it..


4. I went ahead and cut 5 1cm stripes and 8 3.5cm squares for it to look like the design infront of the Tardis 


5. Placed and glued the pieces in order.. My Sonic Screwdriver helped a lot.. Yeah  



6. To make it look worn out and used I used some toilet paper (it's not only to wipe your poop :D be creative with it) and mixed white glue with water to liquidize it..
Lather the mixture and place the paper on top. It will give it a wrinkled texture, make sure you apply few coats of the glue on top as well.. 
I left it to dry over night.



7. Mixed my self few shades of blue with black to get the effect of worn out Tardis blue.. :3


Allonsy!!! :D now wasn't that easy peasy like Fish Fingers and Custard? 
I think the Doctor was pleased!



Till next time :)

Hello Earthlings!

                    Today it's all about tea tea! I'm all about tea! yeah..tea is exciting. lol...
Being born and raised in Sri Lanka makes my tongue appreciate spices. It's a tradition of many Sri Lankans' to drink tea with ginger in any occasion.


so this is a homemade experiment recipe I use when I'm craving some spicy chai tea,

To get snap happy I'm using my phone these day -_- sorry about the bad quality pics friends!

You'll need,

- Black tea bags           

- Some ginger
- Some cloves
- Some cardamom
- Few cinnamon barks 
- A kitchen masher 

















1.  Boil some water and add your tea bags















2. Mash your ingredients with a kitchen masher. You could add some papper for a little more spiciness.
















3. Add your ingredients to the boiled tea and let it steep few mins.





















4. Filter your tea out and ENJOY! :)

The love of tea my darlings!

New store update! ❤

Hello everyone,

                        oh yeah! you must be wondering, store? what store?
It's actually still on beta testing stage. I opened up a facebook page for my cold porcelain miniatures and charms. Why? because I often get lots of people asking to make some for them and I simply say oh sorry I just make the for a hobby and they often give me the crazy eye asking why don't I do it as for a little business and take orders. I often will give a slouchy answer like oh I have school I'm busy and runaway as fast as I could from them.

So I said to my self what the hack and opened a fanpage yesterday. To be honest it;s exciting.

https://www.facebook.com/colourmeeverywhere 


Now that is the page, I'm planing to sell my miniature charms from $1 - $5 (Rs.100 - Rs.500) nothing more than that. I do take custom orders. Shipping will be ttly free and also I target customers in Sri Lanka and Canada mostly but I'm wiling to take orders elsewhere too..

And to show you whats available for now in my store,





















These sell for $1.70 (Rs.200) each and there will be more available in another two days of time :) I will make sure I update this post by then.

Thanks lovelies!
Enjoy your week!
