Hmm need to change my shop logo. It really is rather rubbish...

Making Frenzy

In the middle of a making frenzy. Got a week off work and so can make looooooads of splendid brooches. Making clouds, swallows, lightning bolts, bows, russian dolls and phones. Let the nimble fingers commence...

New Camera!

Oh bloomin' 'ell. I just bought a new camera! It's a fisheye lens compact in wood grain effect-mmmm. Can't wait to get it and start taking some Escher type pics of my brooches and other random lovely things.

New fabric!!!

Bought some new fabric a few days ago on ebay and it arrived today!!!! It's all about the Russian doll for moi at the mo so this is a treat for the eyes. Gonna get staight to work...

recycled brooches

Cleaning out my bedroom ready for an impromptu boot fair and found this old patchwork bag from Accessorize. Not to my taste anymore but the fabric is pretty cool so am planning a recycling session with the scissors this evening. Needs a clean up but should be perfect for cupcakes!

Wow just discovered the most beautiful website and handmade jewelry created by two French crafters from West Brittany.'Everything begins with the discovery of a photo, an abandoned memory...' They use old found objects like gloves or lockets as their starting point and embellish, twist and embroider until it resembles something truly unique.
