Necklaces and Pendants

Recently I've been getting crafty making necklaces and pendants using various charms, chains and findings . . .

Necklaces and plastic paper!

I havent blogged in a while as I havent been making too many cards, but i've been getting creative making necklaces with this AMAZING paper . . . . you simply print onto it, cut out your shape, and put it in the oven for a couple of minutes and it shrinks to half the size and becomes a hardened plastic shape which makes it perfect for pendants! So i've been playing around with some illustrations and making pendants . . .

Print, Love & Unity: Typesheets and Logo

After playing around with various typefaces and ideas, i've finally come up with something that resembles a logo - made up from bodoni, giddy up and Helvetica fonts, it still needs some work, maybe changing the helvetica typeface to a bold futura one!

First Card Designs!

Some of my first card designs! Heres some samples of my first set of card designs, comin in a range of colours and patterns - the final ones will be hand screen printed!

I LOVE: Dots & Spots

I came across Dots & Spots whilst at Topdrawer in London. They produce great little cards, notebooks, prints and lots more with many of the illustrations created by collaging recycled and handmade papers!
