Handmade swap!

I recently took part in a handmade/art swap – it was fun! I did this cat picture for Jessica of Epheriell Designs. It is her cat Gobbolino who features in her blog. I hope she likes it! Now I just have to sit back and wait for some mystery goodies to arrive for me!

If you’d like to be involved in the art swap, let me know!

Let’s dress up!

I’ve redesigned my dress up bunnies and teddies from A4 to a more compact A5 size. They still have the same cute outfits, it’s just a different layout. Therefore, I’m selling off the old format CHEAP in my made it store. You can choose from the bunnies or the teddies or even get both! Did you know the bunny clothes fit the teddies and the teddy clothes fit the bunnies? And they don’t mind sharing! They can even be persuaded to cross dress but they’re equally comfortable in the nude. You’ll find out all this and more if you take them home! See for yourself!

Saint Lefticus

The Made on the Left market was on at the new venue of The Saint on the weekend and it was quite popular! One could even imagine that the patron saint of WA handmade markets, St Lefticus, was looking over us! I had a fun day! Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table!

New Brooches!

Here are two of my new lasercut brooches – a rollerskating kitty and a scooting bear! There will be even more designs available at Made on the Left (including more animals wearing hats!)


Update: The scooting bear brooch is now available on my etsy shop!

New badge sets!

Good things come in pairs!

New cards!

My new card designs are from my ‘animals with hats’ series. These are the peeking puppy, the courting bear, the posh cat and the party bird. I encourage all animals reading this blog to go and put on a hat, posthaste!

Market Ahoy!

It’s just over a week until the next Made on the Left market, at a brand new venue – the Saint Hotel (2 Morris Road, Innaloo)! It’s on the weekend of the 17^th and 18^th of July with different designers on each day. I will be there on the Saturday from 10 – 4 and I’m looking forward to it! Over the next few days, I will be featuring some of my new products which will be available at the market so come back soon for a preview!

The Envelope Project

Inspired by Blainie, I decided to decorate an envelope for Meet Me at Mike’s Envelope Project. To participate, you have to decorate an envelope, put some cute crafty things in it and send it off to their super cool store in Melbourne where they will display them all in the window. I made an envelope out of an A4 sheet of paper and drew some funny little pictures on the front and back which I coloured in with scented coloured pencils (so it will smell extra good after all that travelling). Inside, I put some little stickers, some of my badge pictures and one of my cupcake gift cards. 

I then went to the Post Office and demanded the cutest stamp they had, which happened to be this kookaburra from the Australian Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. Now it is on its way – Bon Voyage little envelope!
