MOTL success


All of my blog readers (of which I'm not sure there actually are any yet) will be glad to know Saturday's Made on the Left market went wonderfully! I'm so flattered by all of the compliments I got over the day and even more so that so many people bought things.

Thanks to all of the people that stopped for a chat too. I spoke to new fashion graduate Erin who was sporting one of her lovely dress designs of On a Whim and also to Ashliegh of
Ashliegh in Wonderland and Adam of Gen Y Lifehacker about blogging and such. Ashliegh and Adam enlightened me to the wonder of google analytics. If you have a blog or website and you're not using this - sign up now. It's great, free and now I know peope HAVE visited my blog and website. Phew!

There were so many gorgeous things available at the market and I was very happy with my purchase of the day from Osier. The brooch (pictured) is made from raw plywood, fabric and a very sweet handmade polymer clay flower. I bought some polymer clay aaaages ago and haven't even opened the packet but I think I've finally been inspired to give it a go.

Thank you to everyone that supported me at my first market. Hopefully it's the first of many and things go as well in the future, as they did on the weekend.

I'm Famous!


Here is the article in the Guardian Express, the community paper for Perth's inner-city suburbs.
How very exciting!

I've finally Madeit!

Well, I've created a Madeit store:

Madeit is great because the website and all of it's stalls are Australian.Overseas shipping can be costly to your carbon footprint, so buying and selling locally is a big WIN!

I only have a few items up at the moment, saving most of my treasures for my Made on the Left Market stall on Saturday 17th July.

I was also lucky enough to be included in a promotion for the Made on the Left market with the Community News group paper. I met with some designer/makers who have stalls at the next MOTL for a photo shoot and a quick chat about our work. Keep your eye out in the Western Suburbs and the Guardian Express for the article.

It was great to get a sneak peak at some work by other stall holders at MOTL. Like Melanie Paton who creates vintage inspired modern crochet art works.
