Cards, cards, cards!

This is why I can't work in my match box of a room!

All will become clear...

A sneaky peek...

A sneak peek into my process. The finished piece can be seen as my blogs header above!

Chiko is my biggest fan

Why is it that when your fully focused on doing something, animals will choose that time to want your attention? Chiko is of the jealous kind and attention seeking kind. Whenever anyones attention is on anything but Chiko, he begs for attention with those bulbus eyes of his. So when he did this while I was photographing my stuff, I thought I'd give him a taste of what I was doing. He made for quite a cute model (but not one without attitude!). Here he is modelling one of my teacup necklace creations.

My creations are taking over my kitchen

My lack of studio/desk/workspace at the moment means that I often take over the kitchen table. The kitchen can be quite a distracting place to work though, what with all that yummy food around, it doesn't help that I'm making cupcake shaped brooches!

Check out the online Craft Market!

After uploading my goods onto Etsy, I have discovered a whole other world of craft websites, communities and online markets! It's good to know people are still passionate about crafts. I've found there is a certain amount of snobbery surrounding the subject of crafts, it was almost considered a dirty word at Uni! This is why it's so inspiring to see what a nice little community we have going on. Anyway, on my world wide web travels, I stumbled across the Craft Market. This is an online virtual market where you can buy anything from craft supplies to handmade goodies! Check it out! http://www.virtualcraftmarket.com/?page_id=17&id=142

Check out my Etsy Shop!

I've just been working on my Etsy shop. It still needs alot of work and I've still got so much to upload, but atleast I've got the ball rolling! You can find my Etsy shop at:http://www.etsy.com/shop/tugbakop So take a look, and pop in again in a week or so, when hopefully it will be well on it's way!

In the meantime, here's a sneak preview of the goodies you will be able to find...^^^^^
