The BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who popped by to say hello. Here's my little section on the super fun co-op stall just before the sun went down.


Thinking it's about time I invested in some proper signage and a bit more colour...

Check out more Twilight fun here and future BrisStyle market dates here.

There's only one sleep to go until the BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market so I'm squeezing in some last minute tissue cosies then I'm done! If you're coming along to check it out pop by the co-op marquees and say hi, I'll be sharing with Shelley and Melinda.

My creative space ...

This week I've been busy making and pegging teeny critters to my new brooch board for the market.

The board is super easy to make. Simply use a canvas covered in linen or your favourite fabric (use a hot glue gun to attach the linen to the back edges of the canvas). Then measure where you want your string to hang and attach the string ends to the back edges with a staple gun. If you don't have a staple gun just use nails or thumb tacks and tie the string on. You could also put a piece of core flute (aka foamcor) between the front of the canvas and the fabric if you wanted to make a pin board version, or a sheet of magnet to make a magnet board.

You can see more photos of the brooch board over on my flickr.


I have loads of back up brooches for the market too. These ones are made using re-purposed upholstery fabric samples so each brooch is completely unique. Expect to see some of these in my shop next week.


And finally, I managed to pull off the car plushies just in time (well, after another four wheels are done). I'm also working on another two purple cars for the shop.

Pop back in the next week for a run down of the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market and to be the first to get your hands on my new shop stock!
