Wooden Tribal Brooches

I have a new collection of wooden brooches in my etsy shop featuring hand painted tribal patterns. They're great to jazz up an outfit or bag. A wearable painting; you can take a piece of art with you wherever you go!

  

   

  

Check them all out here along with my Haruki Murakami and Jane Austen author brooches and keep an eye out for more collections coming soon!

Feature Friday: Rob Ryan Zines

   

 

 

I've been a fan of Rob Ryan's papercut's for a while know and while they're great to look at online, they're inaccessible for most people to own and enjoy. But these zines that have just come out, work really well, the transient nature of paper, being screenprinted onto sugar paper in two colours, it's a perfect fit and they look amazing! Check them out here and here and Rob's website here. 

   

Facebook Page

 

I've created a facebook page for my shop, so I'll be uploading lots of photos, blog post links and work in progress pics.

 Expect lots of embroidery, washi tape packing love, stationery, paints and inspiration. 

Do you have a facebook page?

Packing Orders

 

 - Walden Screenprinted & Embroidered Tote Bag with a freebie postcard print and a thank you postcard from me featuring the Northern Lights -

I've sent off my first few orders from my Etsy shop and am really excited to make them look good and put in a few extras when I can, so I've been stashing and stocking up on great packing goodies!

-Buddy Holly Tote Bag with freebie Buddy postcard and badge (that went wrong and couldn't be sold)

I've found some patterned paper bags to put little extras in and will also be making my own out of brown paper bags and stamping/drawing onto them.

 

I've heard and seen a lot about washi tape {mostly on hello sandwich} and have always wanted to get some....and now have lots thanks to ebay and the beautiful Japanese store Uguisu. I had my first chance to use the airmail tape this week to send a package to California!

  

 I've also made myself a rubber logo stamp and got an alphabet stamp set and inkpad. . .

 

  to make some packaging for the new range of author badges in my shop...

and been using lots of coloured sharpies for drawing, decorating, shrink plastic making!
