A little custom love

My friend Sonja went back to Australia recently, but not before ordering a custom brooch :) I had just got in some new leather (some beautiful metallics) so she wanted to incorporate the bronzy colour. We took the round "doily" look and added the bird from the Bird Heart and voila! A custom brooch!

A fond Farewell!

My amazing friend Jo left late last night for a round trip around the states. She has been wanting to do this for almost 5 years now. I am so very excited for her that she gets to fulfill her dream and explore more of the world! I popped by her place yesterday afternoon to hang out before she left, watched her pack, helped her with a few odd jobs. It was nice. I wish I was going too actually. But Im more happy for her that she's going. I thought I would make her a little going away pressie. A little something to remind her of home:) After experimenting with the fabric covered leather in the sewing machines - I thought I'd try covering a heart shape - its pretty cute.

To my friend Jo - May you have many amazing and crazy adventures and come back with incredible stories :)

Order Up!

Last week was a pretty busy one - but rewarding nonetheless. I managed to finish 3 orders for Friday, so thought I'd give you a peek.
I'm still busy on the brooches for the Design Indaba - but getting there. So excited, its just around the corner! 25th - 27th February so make sure you pop round. It will definitely be worth it!
