St William's College Craft Fair

A few photos from the first Christmas craft fair of the year that I attended at St William's College in York. I'll be uploading more photos of my Swarovski Crystal Christmas Trees to this blog in due course but in the meantime, head over to my facebook page to have a look at the full range!

A lovely new colour this year - light metallic gold.

Knitted wire brooches adorned with crystals looking good on my lovely wicker pieces from Scilly Socks at the Porthloo Studios, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly.

Swarovski Crystal Christmas trees dazzling all the customers!

Sold a brooch very similar to this one to a lovely Irish lady - love the colours which have a Christmas feel with the gold and silver and look quite vintage at the same time. Can you see the little crystal star?

The following pictures are of the venue last weekend - the beautiful 15th century St William's College which was originally a school for Minster priests. We were lucky enough to have this beautiful bay window behind us, along with what looked like a piece of the Minster topped with church candles! It was all very atmospheric and when I arrived on Sunday morning before opening time it was so quiet, I kept imagining what it would be like 'back in time'. A really lovely venue.

Early for Xmas, Late for.. everything else!

Another horribly overdue post for this blog...!

Our work also continues to be available at Just Makers in the Castle Courtyard at Ripley and at Pot Buoys Gallery on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly where our Christmas tree earrings will be a new addition this year. You can also purchase direct via www.etsy.com/shop/inspiredscilly or by messaging via Facebook at www.facebook.com/inspiredscilly .

The Alien has Landed!

It's not quite finished but here is my completely crazy felt creation (from a previous post entitled 'Is that an alien on your head'.. in hat form. I need some nice matching felt to go on the underside to finish it off but I'm quite pleased so far. Now to find someone who would wear it! That could be trickier!! My favourite bit has to be the 'dreads' (an unusual alternative to feathers I think you'll agree) and beads - I guess it all looks a bit like seaweed in the water. It's hard to make out from the pic but there are some lovely coral and blue sparkly threads in the middle. (materials courtesy of my Mum with blue sewing thread from www.alteredelement.co.uk )
