Crafty swap.....and look what I got!

So on Friday I recieved two unknown packages through my door, then I remembered the swap! How excited was I? Not knowing what was inside, it felt like Christmas. In my mystery parcels I was thrilled to find two beautiful items.

A beautiful black glass pendant from stevie-davies.co.uk

I really love the paler streaks to the side, it gives it a little something extra.

And a really lovley bookmark from it's the little things

I really love the copper findings and it has a luck theme.

I hope the recipient of my swap item was as chuffed as I am, definatly worth taking part in.

International crafty swap

I am taking part in my first art swap. I found out through Konnie Kapows blog. If it works out right I send out one creation and I should get a few back in return, its a bit like a chain letter but for crafts.

For this to work I now need to find 6 others, I have 2 confirmed, so I need another 4.

If you would like to join in, leave a comment.

Should be really fun :)

Yummy treats!

I received a parcel through the post this morning. I had ordered my little ones some gorgeous felt biscuits from Pipinopolis, they are an easter prezzie. I am just so thrilled to bits with them, I had to show them off. They are even tastier in the flesh (or should that be felt?!)

COMING SOON New shop!

I am currently in the process of setting up a new Folksy shop where I will be selling my cards. I have been meaning to do this for a while, as I have them in a few local shops, but none being displayed online. I think having their own store will showcase them better, rather than being alongside the jewellery, where I think it would look a bit unfocused.

My cards feature my simple illustrations, that have been printed, then handcoloured and cutout.

Truley amazing!

Wooden spirit Maika

I have just discovered the most amazing artwork on Etsy and I just had to share as I am just completely stunned by it.

Chopoli uses driftwood and bits of bark and polymer clay to create the extremely lifelike wooden spirits. Beautiful!
