Leathers for your Lobes

I've been feeling the need to expand my Heather's Leathers range for a while, but hadnt been 100% sure about which avenues to go. But, seeing as Ive had such a great response to the Blackberry covers (and even some requests for iPhone covers) I reckon thats definitely one way to expand, so watch this space!

BUT, I have been working on ANOTHER extension of the brand, and that is: drum roll please - dun dun duuuuuuuun:

Earrings! Now you can have some leathers for your lobes ;)

Here are a couple of pics from the range I have been working on. Let me know if you're interested in purchasing:

This one's a ripper!

My friend Zack plays in a band called Kill Disco (they're very cool, you should check them out), and Zack totally rocks out my brooches whenever he can. He wears the blue ipod a LOT. *Thanks Zack!*

So I thought I would make him a brooch that would represent his band.... and this is what came out.

Pretty damn awesome if you ask me.

I think Im going to add this one to the Rock n Roll collection. I guess it could work for Halloween too.

A brooch with so many uses. Nice.

Necklace for your ... well ... neck ...

I always enjoy making gifts for my friends for their birthdays. It was my friend Audrey's birthday this past weekend. She is a graphic designer and owns her own jewelry line called Papillon Belle (beautiful, check it out!) Her business cards have the most beautiful birdcage on it - with laser cutting - absolutely stunning! So in honor of her beautiful design that she did a number of years ago, I thought I would make her a birdcage necklace!

My very first Heather's Leathers necklace I have to say. It was kind of an experiment, but Im pleased to say that it came out really well. Im not sure if Im going to be making a mass of these just yet though for resale, but its fun to try new things. I'll see how it goes, and maybe I'll dabble a little more :)

But for now, here are a couple of pics of Audrey's birdcage necklace:

Market Best Sellers!

I thought it might be interesting to note what the 2 best selling brooches were of the market day!

Any guesses? ....

Here they are :)

Market Time!

Sjoe! This week has flown by! But at least its been a productive one. I had a stamp made of the Heather's Leathers logo, and I just want to stamp it everywhere! But so far, Ive managed to restrain myself to just my rad new, homemade, natural packaging :) I have to say that Im really pleased with the results - I think they look great. Hopefully you all will think so too.

I have made quite a bit of stock for the Favourite Things Market happening tomorrow, so please come through if you get a chance, its going to be great! Its from 2 - 5pm, so you can still have a nice long sleep in, at Unit 7, Wembley Studios in Gardens. It is an indoor venue, so if it does rain, we'll be completely covered and icy-wind free! There will also be credit card facilities available for those of you who travel cash-free like me, ha ha.

So looking forward to it! Going to be working on my final touches tonight to get it all ready for tomorrow :) Here are a couple of sneak peaks into whats going to be available and also my lovely new packaging!

So my other blog is "full to capacity"

So my Heather's Leathers blog section on the website is over capacity, and I am no longer able to upload pics...so I decided to move the blog section here to blogger as it has an endless capacity for pic uploads. So make sure to check here for updates, news and new designs!

Unfortunately, I can't move my other posts over to this blog, so Im just gonna have to take it from here.

Ok, thats it. Thanks for listening folks :)
