Smoothie, a Short Wrap Available on Etsy



Short Wraps are the same width as Narrow Wraps but about half the
 length so they are better for everyday occasions. 
This piece is nice as it will go with anything and is very drapy.

Bhangra, a Large Wrap in purple and black

Bhangra music was invented in the 1980s by Punjabi immigrants who took the folk sound of their home country and began experimenting by altering it using instruments from their host country. In a sense Bhangra music is one of the few immigrant music genres of the world in that it is absent in the home country.

I am greatly influenced by the colours of the East, including India, and the Bhangra festival seemed like  a perfect time to explore this colour theme.

New Felt by Hand Earrings going up on etsy tomorrow


 This pair of earrings is made of sterling silver, freshwater pearls and wool.  I felt the fluff by hand into sweet little wool pearls and then make each pair of earrings unique by adding little bits of sparkle and weight.


This is an example of what the earrings look like on my friend Fernanda, just imagine yours in white and a little bit longer!!
