Our Etsy shop is finally back up. I have been slack, but I guess its hard to be motivated sometimes. Here are a few examples of our original exhibition works that are in the shop.

Fabric panel with Gocco print of hillshoist, digital print of succulent, on gingham.

With life being a bit crazy, we haven't got to any markets yet, although most of the good ones in our part of the state shut down for winter. We're now hoping it'll give us time to get organised. Some of the elements from the above works will feature heavily in our newer stuff. The hillhoist image is our fave, along with the weeds. We are still deciding on other main images. We will then be screen printing onto new fabrics, recycled fabrics with and without patterns, as like above - then producing items with it. Perhaps even selling fabric squares. We're thinking cushion covers, aprons, bags - although something a bit different, tea towels, camera cases etc..

One of our bigger projects for the markets is our yo-yo pieces. Carly spotted this in Inside Out magazine and made me one for my 30th birthday.

It hangs in my window, proudly, - not to mention looking gorgeous (photos to come) and we were inspired. We considered the idea that people would also like these pieces and started our mission. We knew we had to start a stock pile and have been sewing hundreds of the little things. Thanks to the 'Clover' Yo-Yo maker

its a lot easier.

(for an excellent demonstration visit Bloomin' Workshop). We have been using a combination of recycled fabric and new fabric - sticking mainly to cottons, cotton blends. We also found inspiration in a book that Carly acquired..

We are planning to market not only as a wall hanging but as a table runner, with custom orders welcome. We are not using buttons as seem above.

Carly screen printed some fabric using the weed image and then made it into yo-yo's. It looks great and we were excited at the idea of truly custom yo-yo's. We hope to include a few of these within the finished pieces to give it a unique look.
