another hitchhiker!

look what was attracted to my laser cut leaf earring while I was in the UK recently! It is a damsel fly - resident of my brother's garden pond. It landed on my hand, slowly walked up my arm, shoulder & neck before taking a break on my earring. After about 3/4 hour it ended up on my cheek& decided to take flight. Amazing!
Thanks to my niece Lotti for the great photo.

These earrings will be available in a range of colours, along with a full range of other designs, this coming Sunday 18th July at the Made on the Left Winter 2010 Market.
Please note that the market is open for 2 days - Sat & Sun - with different stallholders each day.

Yes...It's back again and full of handmade goodness! Get your shopping bags ready for the Made on the Left Winter 2010 Handmade market, at the new location of The Saint Hotel, Innaloo (just a few minutes from IKEA). Two full days of handmade fashion, accessories, homewares, illustration, jewellery and more. This market has free entry and different sellers each day, so block off the entire weekend ;-)

Hoppy Easter Everyone!

This is part of my Easter display at last weeks Perth Upmarket. Thanks to Rikki for taking the pic. My 'low calorie' Easter treats went down very well & I loved making them too.

A little hail storm doesn't stop us!!

a message from the organisers of this coming weekend's Upmarket...

"Despite some storm damage to the Winthrop Hall, Perth Upmarket has come up with a creative solution to ensure our biggest Upmarket goes ahead. The market will still be in the Winthrop Hall Undercroft and also flow out onto a beautiful lawn area next to Winthrop Hall."

see you there from 10am - 4pm this Sunday 28th March with some sweet new rabbit & egg designs for low calorie Easter gift giving! Of course I'll also have my full range of laser cut & stitched jewellery.

hitch-hiker on hearts!

ha ha!
I just saw this on the photo of my other card design. Little did this fly know he was destined for internet stardom!!

New Colourways & New Cards

I am so excited to be able to announce that I've found a local business to do all my acrylic laser cutting from now on. This means that not do I get my orders quicker, it is better for the planet & I now have a wider choice of colours to use - thrice yippee!

I'll be getting my new stock later today & the new colours will be ready for launch at Unwrapped next week - market details below. I am so looking forward to seeing some of my designs produced in purple, ivory & grey. They should look very classy! I'll post some photos here asap.

As you can see I've also been playing with my new paper cutter & produced some papercut cards in 2 designs which will be available in various colourways at all future markets. More designs on the way...
