Dance, dance, dance!

I'm currently working on a "proper" collection. It will be around 12 pieces created along the theme of the ballet (something that is a constant fascination to me), particularly the Sugar Plum fairy. In fact, the collection is going to be called Sugar Plum. It will be available in about a week though my new website and my Folksy shop . In the meantime, just to whet your appetite, here are some pictures that I have been using as inspiration...

I'm currently working on building my very own website. Hopefully the frontpage will look something like this...

I'm On Cuteable!

A little while ago I sent an email to lovely Lynsey at Cuteable , because I had bought some gorgeous bird paintings/embroideries from Natalie's Nook at Folksy and I thought she should know about them. Not only did she include one of Natalie's lovely creations on her blog, she also featured my mesh rose and onyx necklace . Hurray!

We Love Folksy Flickr Finds

The We Love Folksy.com Flickr group is a great showcase for all the wonderful talent that can be found on Folksy. Here are some recent favourites: This pretty necklace reminds me of an ice cream sundae. It is available from Chiyobex . I love this cheeky squirrel necklace by Aleximo This pretty necklace is made by casting a vintage button in clay by the incredibly talented Nifty Thrifty This vintage-looking soap by Soapy Chica would look lovely in my new bathroom. I originally found a duck-egg blue version in the Flickr group pool, but this pink would look even better.
