Inspired: Scilly

Three of my pieces were recently selected to be part of an exhibition at Gallery 2 in Ipswich, Suffolk. As you can imagine, I was delighted to have my work featured! Here are the three pieces that were on display. Keep an eye on the website as they will soon be available to purchase at www.etsy.com/shop/inspiredscilly . Gold Fill Crochet Wire Bracelet with Swarovski Crystal Green Knitted Wire Brooch with Swarovski Crystal and Pearls Aqua Knitted Wire Cuff with Swarovski Crystal and Pearls Looking round the exhibition last weekend, I was also very taken with Beryl Hines' gorgeous raku pottery fish.

My knitted wire 'Jetsam' bracelet (pictured below) with a rainbow of different colour seed beads has been featured in this gorgeous colourful treasury on Etsy. Click here for a burst of colour! Available to purchase at www.etsy.com/shop/inspiredscilly

A few of the most nautical (and nice!) pieces from my website... A gorgeous aqua blue brooch with sparkling Swarovski crystals and metallic finish seed beads. This brooch combines hand knitted silver wire with nautical acrylic beads and Swarovski crystal. Inspired by jetsam washed up on the beach, this knitted wire bracelet uses an assortment of beads that reflect sea washed plastic tangled up in net and seaweed.

Spring has sprung! The Scilly scented narcissi have bloomed, the tulips are on their way and I've even seen a few butterflies!    Just this week I've also noticed a lot of birds around; a barn owl, a pair of buzzards and of course several garden birds who have been investigating our bird box in the garden... Let's hope someone takes up this lovely new 'des res'! This inspired me to make a nest treasury on Etsy celebrating all things birdy! Click here to view it! On the subject of nests, I've also been dabbling in a little crochet - here's a preview of my crochet pearl nest earrings. Hope you like them!  

Really looking forward to exhibiting at a couple of great events this month. Inspired Scilly will be attending From Yorkshire With Love this Sunday 14th April and the craft fair organised by Yorkshire Craft Fairs at the Galtres Centre, Easingwold on Saturday 20th April. Come and check out our new knit wire brooch collection (see just a few of these below). There will also be knitted wire cuffs and bracelets and vintage hairpieces to buy.  

A lovely gift idea for Mother's Day - these hand-knitted mesh wire brooches are adorned with seed beads and Swarovski Crystal and come presented in a white gift box. You can even commission your own colour-way and have it sent in time for Mother's Day! Available to purchase at www.etsy.com/shop/inspiredscilly (under the knit wire brooch section)
