It's your birthday, dance in your pants!

This is a new greetings card, and maybe a print too.

New Packaging

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Sun, 20 May 2012 17:00:00 +0000

I have tried a variety of ways of displaying and packaging my items, My brooches have always just been lay out on tables at craft fairs, and my earrings started out on pieces of card i cut out and measured individually, then bought a rectangular punch, these all just on white card, so I thought it was time they looked a little more professional, here is my attempt at this.

Feeling peckish?...

Here are a few biscuit brooches/ magnets I have been working on. They will be in a set of 3 magnets, and sold separately as brooches. What do you think?

Weddings

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 19:51:00 +0000

Hello, I am back with some new designs, some wedding invitations, here is a little look at one of my designs and these will soon be up on my Folksy page where you will be able to buy a sample, and if you like it I can customise them with your guests names, and all your wedding information. These can be made in batches of any size and are suitable for anyone as I can change the card and envelopes to suit all budgets. There are also matching Save the dates, RSVPs and name cards too. I hope you like them.

Screenprint

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:54:00 +0000

I know I have probably over used this image but it was one of the images I chose to screen print on day 2 of my screen printing course.. It was quite hard work as we worked in pairs on a huge screen - and using a giant squeegee - next week I am hoping for better results as I will be working on my own screen.

Ps... exciting news: I am moving to London

Doily..

I've been away

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 17:56:00 +0000

I have just got back from being in Berlin for a few days - and it was just the break i needed - although there wasn't a moment of relaxation, (we did over 10 hours of walking on one day -and my find won't let me forget).

I have created a tumblr page, and in between that and finding a new job before i'm made redundant - i hope to keep this blog updated much more often.. Stick around.

Whats new..?

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Thu, 26 May 2011 07:34:00 +0000

Here are just a small selection of new brooches and earrings which i will be selling at my next few fairs - if they do well, they will soon be in my Folksy shop.

Craft Events coming up - Nation of Shop Keepers, and Reetsweet at the Corn Exchange in Leeds

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Sat, 21 May 2011 21:15:00 +0000

Here is a little photo of some tester brooches and earrings just before they were baked in the oven... they have now been cooked. Some a little too big and some too small. So on to round 2!

Tea bags..

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Tue, 17 May 2011 18:21:00 +0000

Charity shop find, a giant tea bags jar. It has been sat on my shelf for a few weeks - empty. Not sure what to use it for yet.

Time.

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Mon, 16 May 2011 19:19:00 +0000

I have lost count of the amount of times I have done a blog post and said, "oh, it's been a while, but I am back now" so I won't say that again. But it has been a while - I look at my blog most days thinking i need to do something worthy of posting, I have been struggling with this, but here are some clock earrings and brooch i have made for your viewing pleasure. I can't promise I'm here to stay, but I'll try.

more bears

A Mother's day card maybe?

A sketchbook page..

noreply@blogger.com (Kayleigh) — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 21:59:00 +0000

Not something I usually share as i know things aren't perfect and how i want them to be, I have never been good at keeping a sketchbook as everything has to be perfect, if not, it gets torn out, but i'm learning. So here is a page of bears.
