fabric bangles

These are my latest creations. Saris fabrics twisted and stitched and then embellished with all sorts of beads, buttons, charms and threads.

No two are the same each one is unique in size, shape, colour and decoration.

 Each one can be worn singly or in a multiple stack for a stunningly colourful effect.

There is a definite flavour of the east, India and  the boho gypsies amongst us.

Patchwork wallet..

This week I made a wallet for a friend. She had a purse but it was old and she fancied a new one. The ols purse had a coin, note and credit card section and she wanted the new purse to be the same.

I wasn't sure I could manage it technically but hey no harm in trying.

Here is the finished result. Fortunately for me my friend loved it and it is now in her possession. :)

The notes section

 The front

 The back

The whole of the inside with credit card slots

The entire outside view

I am now busily making more which I can hopefully sell on my Etsy shop.

Mushrooms growing on logs

Theses mushrooms have been inside my head for a while now. It's quite a relief to get them out and into 3D. Each mushroom is a mix of both new and recycled fabrics and they are fille with fibrefill.

 They are embellished with an assortment off new and old charms, beads, buttons and other little nik naks like crocheted ladybirds and flowers.

 

  I love to reuse old jewellery and clothing and I scour secondhand shops and markets for nice fabrics I can use.

 

 

 

Each one is totally unique and handmade by me. The logs are from young trees whichhave been coppiced to avoid overcrowding. The rings are clearly visible and there are in this group five rings in all.
 

They are for sale in my Etsy shop called MrsBellybuttonsfluff. There is a link top right of this page.

I really enjoyed making this first batch of mushrooms and am cerrtain to be making more as I have an idea for an entire pole covered in sprouting multi couloured fungi.
