Etsy Update: the Cat's in the Cradle and the Silver Spoon

...Little boy blue and the man on the moon.





















This necklace is inspired by the famous nursery rhyme, Hey Diddle Diddle. In an illustration by Randolph Caldecott the dish, spoon and other kitchen things are anthropomorphized and the spoon is a woman wearing a dress with a large bow. The bow is a way to make the spoon look classy and human.












































These necklaces and earrings either have been added to the shop or will be added in the next few days.

Etsy Update: Knit and Pearl, Silver and Gold

Originally I designed this shoulder shrug for myself to hide my tattoo when I was tour guiding at the Vatican, but I made it too small so I started over and made a bigger one. When I finished I realized I had enough yarn left over to finish the small one that I had started so here it is and it'll be in the shop tomorrow. It has a leaf lace pattern and I nosegay pattern which is formed by making cables and bobbles.



















































These are chain scarf/necklaces. The double as both! As you can see there is a silver a gold and a green one of all different lengths and sizes. The silver and gold ones are in the shop and the green one will be there the day after tomorrow.
The silver and gold brings a childhood memory to mind...the singing and talking snowman in Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer.

Wizard of Oz Pouches

Today I made 10 handmade fabric pouches for Il Gatto Selvatico goodies out of an upcycled sheet with sleepy Wizard of Oz characters on it. I made them in all different sizes. Then a put some red lace ribbon to tie them shut.
