Atlas coasters

I made this set of coasters using recycled atlases and chose the places I've lived in Australia for each one. I am planning to make a few sets of these. They make great conversation starters... (not that I really need that)

Bean bags

Here are some hand made bean bags for kids using some great fabrics. You can play lots of different games with these. I have made a batch for the markets and they are sold as singles or in sets of 4 tied with a raffia ribbon and in a gift bag with lots of game suggestions in the picture. A bright, colourful and original gift if you like good old fashioned toys and games. Single bean bags are $5.50 A set of 4 with the gift bag is only $20.

Glass tile pendants

This is a selection of the glass tile pendants I've made recently. Most will be on black leather necklaces, some with brown or blue too. They are $20.00 with a necklace or $14.95 as a pendant only in a gift tin and I will have lots available at the Riverside Art Market at Breezes Cafe on the 5th April.

Purses in pinks

above picture is the reverse side of elephant and guitar purses

These are a few new clutch purses, some of which would be great for kids. They will be available at the Pod Collective Art Market on 5th of April along with lots of other designs. All lined clutch purses with 18cm zips are $17.50

I also do custom orders for purses, you can come and look at my fabrics and choose one you like.

Cards for kids

These cards are made with some great fabrics - the "Dick and Jane' series and lots of colourful buttons, ric-rac and ribbons. Some friendship cards coming soon....

Bags made from recycled jeans

I love making these bags. They are made from the legs of preloved jeans, the bigger the size the better!! The insides are lined with designer fabrics and all have an inside pocket with applique. Don't throw out your old jeans, make a bag... Just about any old clothes can be used to make a bag and it's a great way to recycle something with sentimental value too, instead of throwing it out.

Drawstring Bags

These bags are an Amy Butler design 'Drawstring Purse' and I've also used Amy Butler fabrics. They are lined in a contrasting fabric and are approx 28cm wide and 25cm high.

Handbags

I've started making some more bags and this style is a great handbag size. Fully lined with internal pockets and a magnetic closure, the body is designer fabric and covered in PVC. These bags are approx 35cm wide and 25cm high. I won't be making any two bags exactly the same so you can be sure you will have a unique bag. Look out for some retro and hippy designs coming up!

New clutch purse

This is a new shape of clutch purse, the zip is 18cm long and the measurement from the middle of the purse to the bottom of the curve is 10cm. It's big enough for a phone, keys and cards or you could use it as a makeup bag. This style of purse is covered on both sides with designer fabric (this one is Amy Butler) and a PVC coating.

Clutch purses

Some more clutch purses. The zips are 18cm long. The purses will fit your phone, keys, a bit of makeup and some cash. Very flat and light so great to post to someone as an original gift. Lined purses are $17.50 and unlined are $16.50

Pendants and necklace

I've just started making pendants again after a long break over the holidays. I am feeling motivated with the upcoming Pod Collective market at Breezes on the 5th April, so hope to have lots of nice things ready for that. These pendants are 1 inch square and using Chiyogami papers and glass tiles they are on 2mm black leather cord. These ones are $22.95 each

The other blue and green necklace features beads made from the Gladstone tourist map and which have been rolled and lacquered to make them hard and tough. This necklace also has turquoise and natural stone beads and Swarovski crystals.
