new sparypaint bags.

Here are some images of my new tote bags after I decided to try some spray painting, I think the designs look really cool and were quick to do also. The stencil is the hardest part to create.

I have a wedding to go to this week and I needed a necklace. After looking on the highstreet I found nothing I liked for a good price. I was inspired by a necklace I saw in a boutique that used fabric so I thought why not use some of the many scraps of fabrics and ribbons I have and make my own necklace.

I am very pleased with the results and although I have now decided my wedding outfit doesnt need a necklace, I now have a new range of products. I hope to create some bracelets too but for now I have a couple of necklaces.

This necklace uses scraps of floral cotton fabric in strips and plaited with ribbon. I have also used an old tape measure and some ribbons.

This is my favourite of the two necklaces. I uses fabric scraps, ribbon, plaited fabric, studs, bows, chains and more old tape measure.

Both the necklaces are for sale on my etsy and folksy pages.

Spraypainting

I did some spraypainting the other day which was really fun. I have been saying for ages that I want to create mens tees and I thought spraypainting would be the coolest way to do it. I have done some trials with bags and cards and i'm currently working on the mens tees but heres what I have so far.

Guys tees

A while ago I posted a blog entry about the fact that my products lacked guys t-shirts. I had designs all ready to go but after several emails back and forth with a printers I got no where. It sounded like it could have been pricey too. I have also had a creative block but finally an idea came to me.

So guys don't fear as plan number 2, is to spray paint onto tee using stencils that I have created.

I am also working on some text deigns. I am pretty excited about this next idea and cant wait to get started hopefully I will have more luck than my last attempt.

T-shirts

Here are my lasted customised t-shirts. I make every tee unique so the customer can have the pleasure of knowing that they will be the only one wearing the design.

 (unless I design a Killswitch Engage tee and fall in love with it and them make one for myself)

I loved this tee so much I one for myself after I sold the first one. This has one shoulder strap and bow detail. I really like the design on the tee, the bright green skull with vivid red lettering. I love the band too.

This tee I  really like. Most of the time when I'm making my tops I don't have a plan I just start cutting. I was lucky this time it worked out well. The top has yet to be sold.

Misfits tee with lots of slashing. Also unsold.

Rolling stones tee. I tried to use current trends with this one which is why the top has fringing at the front. The top would be really cool worn in the summer or at a festival. It is also unsold.

Some of my personal favourites are


I love the colour and style of this dress and its different to anything I have seen recently on the high street.



I heart the hearts on this cardigan.



Loving the cute ankle socks which she teams with outfits such as shorts or dresses. I think I prefer these short socks to knee highs.



Showing the socks looking awesome with this outfit.



Also loving her shoes especially these with wedge heels which are so much easier to walk in than stiletto heels.
