South London craft fair - tomorrow

If you happen to be out and about in South London tomorrow, why not come and visit me at my stall in Hither Green at the spring FUSS fair:

The fair is kinda small, but uber cosy and full to the brim with lovely traders and tasty treats... plus all of my rabbits and glittery things - how can you possibly refuse??

You'll also be able to see some new flower jewellery from my friend Sian of feltheart... take a sneaky peek at some of her pretties...

Hope to see you there!

new work in progress... an origami menagerie!

I have my roller derby rules test today :/

I have my roller derby written rules test in 3 hours time... I've been reading up like a fiend, and tried a little online test to check how I'm doing...

90% correct is pretty ace!

I need at least 80% in the real test to pass - cross your fingers for me!

Camden-ing

Phew, all this Camdening has meant that my desk has been covered in masses of jewellery bits in various states of completion every day for the last couple of weeks.

My first day at Camden was pretty awesome - it was great chatting with other stallholders and wandering round seeing the other new traders, but it was bitterly cold and snowing for part of the day, so we barely saw a soul in the way of customers.

In a way though it was kinda nice to have a quiet first day - it meant we could think about stall improvements and fiddle around with displays as much as we needed to, without getting in the way of people who might have been looking at our stuff.

I got some ace feedback from the peeps who run the market, and my stall buddy Caroline and I have been asked to join a new craft initiative at Camden Lock Market on Fridays in April - so we'll be having our first one in a couple of days - eeeek!

If you're around on any Fridays in April, come and say hey!

investigation: how many birds can you get away with in one outfit?

So: being "on trend" might involve wearing one or two pieces with a theme, right? Well what if you wanted to be all on trend? Would wearing clothes/accessories all in the same theme be mega awesome or just ridiculous?

I've sketched an approximation of a chart to help us decide...

1 or 2 birds = on trend
3 or 4 birds = complementarily on trend
5 or 6 birds = a little bit keen
7 or 8 birds = getting a wee bit silly
9 birds or above = possibly excessive

...but then there's a glitch in the results and once you hit 21 you're back to awesome!?

Oh look at that, I even have an example of a 21 bird-ed outfit!
Coincidence? Um... no.

What birds do we have here then?

// jay earrings // dove collar clips // cockatiel collar // pink swan cardigan // swallow bag // 

// pigeon brooch // flamingo eyelash tips // parrot vest top // all the birds skirt //

// bluebird shoes // finch scarf // crane cuff // penguin phone case // toucan keychain //

// peacock tights // magpie necklace // robin hair clip // hummingbird watch //

// blue tits purse // chickadee belt buckle // barn owl ring //

~~~

Sadly, I only own a handful of these items myself, so I imagine that would only get me into the "a bit keen" range... more birds needed, methinks!

I spied this video on Beautiful/Decay - isn't it just incredible?

must have: flamingo satchel

This pretty satchel popped up in an email from Oliver Bonas this morning...

♥♥♥ possibly the most amazing satchel in the world ever - it has flamingoes on it! ♥♥♥

Here's how I might style it if I were lucky enough to own one:

♥ geometric cloud brooch by An Astrid Endeavor ♥ hot pink belt ♥

♥ flamingo satchel ♥ pink rabbit necklace ♥ grey bow dress ♥

♥ metallic toe shoes ♥ bow ring ♥ ivory tights ♥ heart hairslide ♥

There's something about pink, beige and grey together that I can't get enough of at the moment. Such a pretty combination of colours, and perfect to go from winter to spring without going super bright.

Do you like the pairing of pink and grey?

busy making bunnies

I thought since my business name involves rabbits, perhaps I should start making some...

I'm not sure if you can tell how tiny these bunnies are - only about 1cm across!
