Creative Work Studio

I love visiting my next door neighbour. Not only is she great company, she has the best work studio. The eye candy in there is just endless. Gets my heart racing every time. I took some photos to share. Also, you can check out her beautiful jewellery at the Moruya Markets this weekend or have a look at her website here http://www.ibisbeads.com/

A work in progress with many found treasures

Cross-stitch collaboration

My really good friend (and neighbour) is a jeweller. We collaborate every so often because it's fun. We've been working on cross-stitching silver. The first pendant is pictured. Watch out for more - we're talking cuffs, rings and maybe earrings with bluebirds and butterflies.

New soft stuff

Loving our new round floor cushion design. The first one (pictured below)was made with patches of Australiana teatowels, tablecloths and even tapestry, but also plan to piece them with retro upholstery fabrics.

Lu Flux

Was sent this website by my big sister who has her finger on the pulse for all things inspiring and kooky. Love this crazy photo shoot, but check out all her collections at www.luflux.com

Baby, it's cold outside

Rainy, inside weather on the south coast perfect for making stuff. We have a little potbelly fire at the studio that we get cranking on days like this. Made the first silk scarf from the hankies. Colours and texture are not given credit in the photos.
