As a child I loved butterflies and nature and on a trip to Thailand in 2016 my passion was reignited when I came across some framed butterflies in a local market. On my return home I decided to make some of my own. I sourced some butterflies, learnt how to prepare them and being a carpenter by trade made the frames. My appreciation of ... read more

Product themes are around wellness, self care, relaxation and appreciating self and others and what better way to do this then giving yourself and other times to relax, reflect and encourage mediation. ... read more

We launched our first 6 infusions that we felt brought a different dimension to shop bought flavoured spirits. Using natural raw cane sugar and natural fruits and botanicals, along with a complex dehydration process, the end result is a naturally sweetened and intensified infusion that ‘lifts the spirits’. Our aim is to provide the ... read more

My Velvet Collections are a contemporary interpretation of some of the colours and textures of the fabrics and jewellery in Renaissance and Pre-Raphaelite paintings. They feature faceted natural gemstones set in smooth broad gold bezels against sterling silver, etched by me to my own designs, based on nature and antique lace. My Moss Velvet collection features Green Tourmaline in the colours of deep pools like the green of the stream Ophelia drowned in or into which Narcissus stared at his reflection. The colours of the deep forest ...

Now we have officially entered Spring - it is time to declutter your candles and wax melts! Here are some top tips to get your started: If candles have been sat without lids or covers collecting dust, now is the time to clear them out. There is little point burning a dusty candle as the dust will just clog the wick and they dont look very attractive! You can reuse your candle containers for storage or if you have an attractive glass container, that could be kept and used as a tealight holder. Carefully melt the container in a hot ...

I havent actively put time aside for craft in a long time, and so something that has come out of the lockdowns (all 500 of them!) is the opportunity to reengage with something that I had forgotten I loved doing. I am not sure when I stop or how I stopped, and I certainly do not remember a specific moment with a specific intention on stopping. I guess it was a case of other things came along that were more important at the time, or maybe they just seemed to be. I think this happens for many of us. I find sitting down to make a card, ...

Whilst waiting for physical craft fairs to resume, Ive written this short blog to give some interesting information. Purple Amethyst, the birthstone for February, has been highly prized throughout the ages for its stunning beauty and legendary powers to stimulate, and soothe the mind and emotions. It has always been associated with February, the month the Romans dedicated to Neptune, their water-god. It is also the stone of St. Valentine and faithful love. Amethyst is a gem of beauty, whether its crystals are left natural, polished ...

Happy New Year Our biggest intention this year is to help provide the craft community with more via the site. More can be limitless and so may never be reached but we hope you will enjoy the many improvements to come. To help us achieve our intentions, we will be implementing tiny habits by BJ Fogg PhD, into our daily work. Here is a quick overview of how you could use tiny habits too. 1. Clarify an aspiration or intention. You may want to look after yourself better, you may want to become more financially secure ...

Here is our little business. It all started a year ago. We were thinking “we’d come up with a little business” but not a business built on profit, but instead on principals and beliefs. A business that we both can believe in. We are working on somethings that can reminded us of our childhood memories. Those sweet moments when all we cared about was smiling, laughter, great company and a zest for life. A homemade business designed around supporting local farmers, helping people to shop locally, and helping each other by doing the ...

At the end of September I started an online training course for creative businesses with the Design Trust. It has been a rollercoaster experience, all with a view to setting up a web page (well overdue) and a marketing plan. The process has been very useful, posing questions about branding and customer niches that really make you streamline your thoughts about what you do, why and who it is for. The course (four 3hr sessions + a bonus session on How to set up an Etsy store) involved lots of research which was initially daunting! ...

Anyone else feel like their spinning plates

So, this is my very first blog having just joined this site and already I am impressed by the amount of crafters who really seem to have got it together in the craft world with the shop site, the fairs set up, the Instagram posts, the branding...I could go on and on! Its inspiring but also a little intimidating as I juggle working, being a mum, having a normal life and also indulging in some craft time. So I thought this year in amongst all this crazyness it would be different as I started to work from home and also was furloughed ...

The end of another week. I have completed some gorgeous advent calendars for a customer and played around with mixed media in the form of personalised baubles. I have also made some Christmas egg holders that i think would look great with a bath bomb in or one of those eggs with a toy inside. I am really pleased with them, however I am in a limbo land at the moment as it seems that craft fairs are being cancelled left right and centre. The online and virtual craft fairs are full and im not sure how they work anyway. The question ...

Where Japanese and Ukrainian culture merge

How did it all begin? Everything was started by my daughter :) To be more precise, it all started from the Ukrainian traditional costume for her. Ukrainian girls were supposed to wear a floral wreath decorated with ribbons, fresh and artificial flowers. As the range of flowers wreathes in the shops were not particularly suitable for this occasion, I decided to make some myself. A friend of mine, professional clay designer, introduced me to Japanese clay. I found that the clay allowed me to create life-like flowers which was a fantastic ...

Theres just something about old vintage items from days gone - from the sophisticated elegant angles of a Bakelite telephone, to the leather clad vintage box cameras . Everything appears to have been a much higher quality compared to mass produced products of today. When these aesthetically beautiful and high quality vintage items are no longer fit for use, often they will simply get thrown out, or end up sitting in a dusty old attic never to be seen for decades. Design and Inspiration Our projects are inspired by our love of all ...

Well its been a while and things have been extremely busy. I have moved house and I am now sitting in my wonderful craft room looking out at our wet and soggy garden. Dont you just love lock down. I am at a loss how I got all my craft gear into my small room in our previous house. However this room Is spacious and full of natural light. So I have been crafting away finally getting to play with my amazing new dies from tattered lace and carnation crafts and there has been a definite chrismas theme. I have put together some small ...

The UK is without doubt one of the most creative and diverse places on Earth.

The talent of makers and artists needs a vent, a channel that allows both new and experienced people the chance to market and sell their work. They also need to network with their peers to exchange ideas and experiences. The craft fair can be that channel. It challenges people, it inspires and motivates people to do better and more.

Supporting your local craft fairs as a visitor and purchaser, helps to grow the community and encourage further creative, social and community wealth.
