Some scenes from my studio...bit messy!















So here is my studio and some production photo's - this is actually quite tidy as I just had a big clean up. I like to have my ribbons within reach and love how they look all together. I have my velvet ribbons in drawers all colour coded (until I mess it all up!) Tissue paper is on the windows to stop the sun getting in my eyes in summer but as it is winter you will note that although it is only 5.30pm in the afternoon already we have lost the light. I have had daylight fluro lights installed and after they came and did the installation I could not stop looking at the palm of my hand as I could not believe the difference it made everything is so much clearer. I have taken a photo from the shop looking into my studio and as you can see I have the perfect position to see and hear customers coming in and am always working at my desk with one eye out for customers. The baby gate is for....my two dogs Ruby (on the left) and Teddy - they often come to work with me. They spend the whole day pretending to be in jail and trying to get someone to release them. I love the size (my blocks are in the back room and a large storage area as well) of my studio and the natural light from two four big windows is unbeatable - no excuse but to create.

Feather Hairclips and Headbands




Some more new styles ready to go...I love my 'birdwing hairclip' if I must say so myself (!) - I also made one for a customer this week and I think the natural colours are so inspirational.

Winter Headbands using Vintage Veiling




Some new designs from a series that I have been working on using vintage veiling. I am trying to use up some of my massive collection of vintage veiling, available now in my store.
