Zwierzyna...

My friend Kasia and I just opened up an Etsy shop!

We bring you... 'Zwierzyna' - where we will sell jewellery and perhaps pieces of artwork that we have collaborated on together, made from Kasia's illustrations and my fibre-y embellishments.

The first items to go into the shop are three brooches that we made a little while ago, featuring...

a dapper gentleman cat:

a proud fish-catcher:

and a playful fattycat:

we're looking forward to developing more brooches and other ideas!

Various projects and another 'helper'...

I've been very busy recently making various Christmas presents, and cards.  Although I don't want to spoil any surprises, here are some sneak peeks!

A Birthday card for my niece...

An embellished, felted and embroidered fibre art piece for someone's Christmas...

Various pieces of jewellery being finished up...

A card to celebrate the birth of my friends' first baby, Holly...

Oh, and I also got around to sorting out by fibre stash.  So many goodies!!

And last but certainly not least, a wee photo of my other 'helper'.  This is Bruford aka Brufybundle aka Mr Brufus McTavish.  He loves to eat thread, hide things, and usurp my crafting chair.  Don't be fooled by the adorable fluffy tummy.
