World Sweet World


I am pleased to say that after many Trade Me bidding wars I have finally completed my collection of the World Sweet World Magazine! They are great wee NZ made mags with cool projects and inspiring designs. They stopped producing them as the editors had a baby but i'm hoping they will make some more in the near future :)


I also will be at the Moxie Market again next Friday 4th of March, and from now on they will be running the first Friday of every month so its easy to remember!

Better get making...

upcycled picture book stickers

I have a number of illustrations that for some reason or another wouldn't work well as badges, but would make great stickers. I have finally found the time to make them, and here are a couple of my favourites:


The three stickers pictured above work so well when grouped together as in the original illustration. They would be ideal for scrapbooking, and each design is unique!

 I am still unsure of how to group and package the stickers as they vary in style depending on the book they are from, but I hope to work it out soon and stock them in my online shop :)


The other thing I am excited about at the moment is my new corner punch that allows me to round corners like those on the sticker pictured above. I would also like to experiment with rounding the corners on my packaging and cards etc- its lots of fun :)

Felt shop revamped


Felt has just been updated, and so it was the perfect time to sort out my online shop.

A proper camera borrowed from tech means the photos now look sharper, and there are new listings to check out too!

including stickers


and the badges, bows and purses from materials gathered during my trip to Nelson.




pop on in for a look around!

3 days till Moxie!

 

I have to apologise for being slack on the updates. I've been frantically cutting/sewing/screenprinting to get things ready for Moxie Market on Friday- here's a couple of new designs i've got to show you...


It didn't seem right to make bunting cards without having made the real thing, so I have stitched some beautiful strings of bunting using upcycled pieces of fabric and lace. I wish I could hang them on my wall- I'm going to make some more after the market so they'l be available online too :)


I brought some cute wee heart punches the other day, which inspired me to make these upcycled stickers!
The kings and queens are my favourite, made from old playing cards. There are also sets made from envelopes, maps, music paper, more playing cards and wood imitation vinyl.



The last thing I'l show you for today is this gorgeous fabric I found the other day. My mum informs me that the article of clothing it came from is a called a jodhpur- some sort of vest thing (very ugly). It will now be transformed into a charming wee purse and bow perfect for someones valentine :)
