Trinkets!

Cute Little critters! I Don’t know where I got the idea for these little guys, I think I saw something g similar on eBay or online and decided – I can do that! So if you know, I am happy to give credit where credit is due!Of course, I have tweeked them a little and added a few bits of my own!

My other pic today is of these cute little trinket boxes  that I made for market this Saturday.

Quilling on Canvas

I have a few crafty markets coming up, so in the days that follow I thought I would share what I have been working on for the past month or so.   One of the things I LOVE about quilling is that it is so versatile. One minute I’m making flowers for a birthday card and the next I’m making a gift basket for a mini Easter present! I could be fringing flowers for a trinket box, then suddenly get hit with inspiration for a piece of quilled jewellery... AND it has to be just about the cheapest craft I have ever come across. All you need is a tool (in the early days I actually just used a toothpick that I slit with a craft knife and some paper and glue.) EASY!! Now, I don’t pretend to know everything – My quilling is still in the amateur stage on a good day - but this item is one of the more elaborate pieces I put together. Good news is, that my hard work definitely paid off because it sold to a lovely young girl I met at a craft fair and she  hung it in her little boys room!
