| Back view of a self-made sheer blouse and the beginning of a piece of body jewelry. Just a quick photo I took to sketch a few ideas from. I used extra fine silk jersey with french seams throughout and a small line of gathers at the back. The necklace is created from antique ribbon and vintage brass rope chain. I love the idea of having a cohesive collection of garments and jewelry. Pieces which were designed specifically to be worn together but can still be worn separately. image credit: personal photograph

Papaya whip...a colour that looks as good as it sounds. 01 / self made necklace / vintage brass rope chain & large fabric pom poms 02 / large triple pom pom necklace with layered brass chain 03 / small pom pom on a gold plated chain 04 / a small-scale production cycle Hope you have all had a good weekend! I'm becoming a crafting hermit. Thankfully I have a few day trips planned this week. Picking up some more chain tomorrow for a new batch of the simple charm necklaces. Also, more knotted rope pieces (you guys snap up that sailor bracelet so quick I can't keep up!) and a few more styles of the pom pom necklaces. Oh and keep your eyes out for tassel related goodies arriving over the next couple of weeks. Image credit: personal photographs

Everything surrounding me is covered in a fine layer of pink dust...

pom pom necklaces / segmented and knotted rope pieces / multi-functional chain / charms, charms, charms / lockets / bow brooches / pom pom brooches / brass cube bracelet

black wrap dress with the most flattering neckline & bow front blouse from H&M / fabric, rope and copper necklaces

reworked vintage dress / segmented rope necklace / brass cube bracelet / layered charm necklaces

I've finally decided on my packaging design. After struggling to find the right size/colour paper luggage tags, I decided to just make my own! I'm also a little obsessed with anything elephant related at the moment. Oh and expect to see many more knotted rope creations. I still need to share my finished rope body piece! For those are are interested, I'll be posting a link to my etsy shop this monday evening! Just going on a weekend trip to get some more of the peachy pom pom fabric. I only bought 50 cm and now I've run out and worried I won't be able to find more! Wish me luck... p.s. thank you so much to those who blogged about or commented on the last post. It's much appreciated! image credit: personal photographs | all jewellery self-made

Lovely little gifts from Hannah. It didn't take long for the plastic charm to be transformed into a necklace upon arrival! Image source: personal photograph
