Inspiring Ulla!

Ok, before I ever stumbled upon etsy and got my boutique up and running I used to spend endless hours scouring google for anything remotely related to design, fashion, craft, romantic, deconstructed, baroque, renaissance.........yada yada yada, basically all the things that I enjoy and find inspiring! one of the things that kept coming up in my searches was a blog by an absolutely inspiring lady called Ulla! I spent a long night reading through her entire blog (and trust me guys this lady is a prolific blogger person), I was totally blown away by the abundance of inspiration throughout the blog not to mention the fact that Ulla seemed to blog about all the things that I am really drawn to but can never quite manage to find!

Well a short while ago I was just shocked to find a message from this very same lady in my inbox in my etsy store enquiring about a couture scarf to be made! Its such an awesome feeling to be asked by someone that you look up to, to make something of your own for them! This was definitely a highlight for me and made me think about how small the world is! In particular the crafting community online! which is fantastic!

For sure if you appreciate fine design and whimsical inspiration go check out http://www.ullam.typepad.com/ and don't blame me if you become an addict! (I know I am!) ;)

Changing it up a bit!!!

The latest Custom Scarf to sell in my etsy boutique, this charcoal neo victorian neck piece! Am so stressed at the moment that its impossible to come up with words for this post! I have writers blog block, shall we say! I think its time for show and tell, (without the "tell") lol. The funny thing is I have loads of news!!! lots of interesting prospects going on, but just too full of brain jam to even decipher the news out! Maybe my head will empty up somewhat in the next few days to be able to add something .......anything!!! ;)

I would love the person who said women can multi task be flogged with liquorice laces!! :)

Cream Ruffled NeoVictorian Neckpiece.

One of my most recent listings on etsy, is this lush cream ruffled NeoVictorian Neckpiece and its sold already! I also really pleased to see that it went to a repeat customer, who has also bought one of my corsets! This is always a really good sign when peeps like to return as its affirming for me that I may be doing something right ! lol

I am really fond of this new piece and thrilled to see that its off to a good home too!!! I will be updating my etsy boutique with more couture Neck Pieces so check by to see the new stock!

Turn of the Century Scarf!

I have been really getting into making scarves and neck pieces recently, I love coming up with new sculptural shapes that really frame the face! Of course there is always a little touch of neovictorian in there too!, dare I say the girl just can't help herself!

I love the challenge of designing a new one for custom oders, my fave scenario is when I get told acolour scheme and then just get a sense of what the client is into, in terms of there own personal style and then just go for it! It always surprises me what comes out of that client/designer collaboration! Like for example the scarf pictured, which was a custom order for the fabulous WhisperingMary of etsy, who does the most beautiful illustrations of yesteryear!! go check out her shop here too!

More Custom Work......................

The thing I love about custom work is the fact that you end up inventing something that you wouldn't have necessarily come up with if you hadn't had a brief to stick to! Take for example the scarf and bag above! A dear etsy pal Susarto commissioned me to make her a bag and matching scarf to give her new grey coat a designer edge and instead of designing a scarf in the normal rectangular realm! (I am allergic to symetery!) I decided I wanted to do a real couture type of neck piece with lots of structure! In doing so I have come up with a really coool new product for my etsy store in the midst of a creative dry spell! (So thanks Sus! )xxx
