All set

As promised : operation tidy before & after!

With my work space cleared I have begun working on some new designs and am experimenting with some new backgrounds for my product shots. I am looking for something simple but textured, that isn't too distracting from the jewellery. Hopefully by the end of today I'll have decided on the new look and have most of the photos of my current listings on etsy changed.

I really enjoy this part and feel they need freshened up. Hopefully I'll get some inspiration for a new banner too!

A very surprising trait has started to imerge in MrS's character, he keeps finding beautiful pieces of furniture in thrift shops. Until recently he had a very limited interest in how I decorate and would just roll his eyes when I would return from a forage with an old tin, a cup and saucer and an old watering can. But now he is finding little gems, like this beautiful unit! I'm not quite sure hat will finally end up on it, at the moment I'm changing the collections every few days!

A mixed media morning

Sunday I had planned to get stuck into this new project but friends from far away lands popped by for a visit so my schemes got put on hold. Yesterday I wanted to get the jewels out and the day sped away from me. But this morning I awoke full of inspiration and drive and have just completed these.

This one is my favourite.

I ironed a copy of a little painting I did a few months ago of two little birds on a branch onto a piece of fabric and then layered paint, paper and a snip of vintage lace ontop.

I still have the iron out (a rare sighting in this house!) so I'll keep working away.
