Wow, I can't believe it's been a week since I saw the post I'm about to refer to, and am only just finding time now to sit down and formulate some cohesive paragraphs about it.
A while ago, I mentioned one of my absolute most favourite discoveries on etsy - a beautiful, stunningly detailed pearly chandelier, in the form of an octopus. Wonderfully bizarre, it's long pearly tentacles at gorgeous sweeping angles combined with it's functionality and the very fact it's designed to hang in the most sociable room of your home made me instantly fall in love.
I'm an avid crafter, but I only have time to keep up to date with one crafting blog, and that's the wonderful Craftzine.com. It has such a variety of Make and Do's, Ideas, Photos and Interesting Write-ups and Reviews it's always worth a gander. But then sometimes, you find an absolute gem. Last Friday I found read this post:
And was mesmerized yet again by the ingenuity of some designers and crafters. Absolutely stunning. I hope there will come a time in the future when I either manage to battle such a great project and create my own chandelier, or perhaps even, stretch to purchasing one of the fantastic ones already out there. The original pearly one I first saw, will most likely always be my favourite. Furthermore, I still need the house to put it in... I think they deserve a suitably extravagant dining room/lounge area, no?
These blogs have been too few and far between of late, but I have a little bit of an excuse. Eight days ago, I sat at my very first craft stall and sold my first pieces of a brand new collection that was no more than four weeks old. In those four weeks, I'd created an idea, a theme, and stock, spending every evening post-work sewing, cutting, sticking and everything else that needed doing. I had such a fun day, and hopefully, it won't be too long before I get started on my next one. I'll update you with my work and photos from the outdoor fair shortly.
Much love,
