Crafty Tuesdays

Starting a new job, leaves me with less time to craft, which is precisely why I love jewellery making so much! I recently made this necklace as a gift, and it was easily made while watching t.v. one evening. Again I used beads, and a pendant donated to me by friends. I have never made anything with this colour combination before, but it suited the antique gold pendant.

I love...

Ikat

Sorry for disappearing suddenly! A combination of a new job, and getting ill required me to take some time off the blog, and figure out how to balance everything. Given that this is a midnight post, I still haven't quite figured it out...lol....but I still feel the passion, so I shall persevere.

Now back to the subject at hand, ikat, geometric, tribal, graphic, modern and ancient at the same time, I just love ikat. I've seen these designs since I was a child on my mother's saris, and am now loving it's use on clothes, accessories, and household items. I don't own anything with ikat yet, but it will happen.

1. Koko Company - Cotton ikat pillow

2. DKNY - ikat and polka dots! What more could I want?

3. I have no idea who makes this shoe, but I love it!

4. I regret not buying this Matt & Nat purse, love the colour combo and it raised money for charity.

5. I am a fan of plain white plates, but there is something bold about this set from Littlewoods

6. A versatile bangle from Cwonder, which is hinged, a feature my wide hands appreciate.
