Apple trees

Just grabbed two miniature cardboard apple trees from work. They're DKNY Delicious props and are done in a pop art/ Roy Lichtenstein stylie. I love them! Gonna make some apple brooches and attach. Hmmm fruit brooches seem a good way to go. Already make cherries but apples, grapes, bananas and strawberries seem like a rather splendid addition to the collection me thinks. Gotta get a-makin'....

Skint

So I'm down to my last fiver after splurging on a shredded beef in chilli sauce and egg fried rice concoction for tonight. Only 5 days to go till pay day.
Need to do some more experimenting with my fish eye cam. Got a load of props and back drops from work so will have to think of something good to do with it all...

New look Sweet Trash





Did alot of work on my etsy shop today. A bit of quality control was needed so deleted a few old ones that just weren't good enough. Re took most of the main pics aswell I think they were a bit busy before. Anyway I'm happy for now, don't know whether it helps to change your shop design etc but it can't hurt right?
Added some new brooches too...

Autumn spring cleaning.


Well tmw is all about photos. A mass brooch photog sesh is the order of the day me thinks. Some new brooches and re-taking a couple that I wasn't happy with. Doing a bit of a clean out of my etsy shop. It needs a bit more love and attention coz it looks a tad miserable at the mo.

Could have two potential local stalls near xmas (fingers crossed although one is more likely) so got to build up as much stock as possible.
New obsession? Typewriters. Just downloaded some old typewriter fonts from 'tinternet and love them. Actually used one for my new shop header/logo. Used to have one when I was young'un may asked the parental unit if they've got it stashed somewhere.

Where the wild things are



Recently reminded about this classic and then find out it's being made into a film!aannnd by Spike Jonze! Too exciting. The trailer looks amazing and the music is gonna be awesome. Karen O , Arcade Fire re-recording Wake Up? Can't wait to get my hands on that soundtrack.
