A posy made from flowers from my friend Karina's allotment. Beautiful!
Beautiful things, found, bought or made by me. Pretty and weird or simply beautiful...

It has been a while but I am back!
 |
| Butterfly brooch and lily pad ring |
I have neglected this blog as I grapple with my other five.... Plus I have not made many things, except jewellery as I am enrolled into a silver jewellery class.
Here is a striking set I made by recycling a copper pipe. It has featured on my recycling blog but I want to share it here too....
I have used copper, silver and a rough emerald, which was sent to me with junk post. Yes, they are genuine but uncut and of poor quality, but this one does work well with copper!

William Morris and Me
This combo photo got 447 views on Twitter!
It combines two things I made - notice that the top part of the E is the banner of this blog...
I used to live in Walthamstow, hence the E17 hanging (postcode of the area), which was exhibited at an arts gallery and got a lot of attention. I keep thinking I should do my new postcode and show the transition!
The fabric swatches of the bigger hanging are from Sanderson and they reproduce William Morris' patterns.

Botanical and vintage - a delicious combination
 |
| Six-drawer botanical chest, £39.95 |
I was sent these photos with a press release from Dotcomgiftshop and couldn't resist posting them here.
The cabinet is wonderfully seductive and the cake stand is dainty and very graceful. Ditto for the pretty bowls.
Everything is beautifully photographed too - a real joy to peruse...Saturday, 21 April 2012
