Funky Fabric Flower Rings NEW!!

Treat yourself to a splash of summer colour!!
I am quite delighted to be offering for sale these totally funky fiber art handmade flower rings.
If, (-like me) you have a penchant for statement jewellery then these will be an absolute treat for you! Available in a host of stunning colours ( do contact me if you cannot see the shades you are looking for, I am happy to oblige!)
These lightweight flowers are attached to an adjustable silver-coloured ring,so suitable for most adult sizes,easily adjusted to fit you perfectly.I have had so many compliments already wearing one of these,and my daughter (18) has also been eagerly snapping them up, for herself and friends,so they really do appeal to all types and ages!
And the BEST bit??? (other than the amazingly individual style and colours that is!)-IT WON'T SNAG YOUR CLOTHING! I ruin hundreds of tights and cardis each year weariing chunky jewellery-but not wearing one of these!
Truly a one-off this is a lovely gift for someone special or maybe a well-deserved treat for yourself!

Fabric Collage Album-new design!

This album was created using fabrics and papers with stitchery and vintage image embellishments. The style is very much grunge/shabby chic,with layers of yummy fabrics,many of them uniquely hand dyed by me, and papers,raw and torn edges and uncut threads-do not assume from this design style that it is loosely stitched however, it is firmly finished,and whilst designed to fray,the edges have been finished to prevent too much unravelling-it is very much designed to be handled!
The front cover has a beautiful butterfly,hand-transferred onto calico fabric and poetry quote,also delicately hand transferred onto fabric,all collaged together with lace and button embellishments.There are ten pages inside, (not including the front cover and back cover) all embellished with lace,fabric,vintage photos and embroidery,filled with loads of scrummy handmade tags,made using papers,beads,fibres and all manner of stitch and fabrics,tucked into pockets,the sweetest miniature embroidered fabric booklet ( see photos-embroidered 'Play,Live,Love ) , -and still plenty of space ready for you to add all your precious mementos,letters and photos to create a personal album!
Album is one of my larger designs,and measures ROUGHLY 8" square and approx 1-2" thick.
I'm not sure that my photos do it justice!It is hard to convey the textural appeal of these lovely fabric collages-this has to be one of my personal favourites so far!
