Plenty has been happening for me. Lots of commissions and extra fairs. This has given me a push to start attending more vintage fairs in my local area. The response to my work has been phenomenal and I love show off my creations to my neighbours.<br />
<br />
Back in October I was busy creating new stock for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rubys-Vintage-Retro-Fair/137732319679273?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Ruby’s</a>. It was great to some familiar faces and meet some new ones at both the October and December fairs.<br />

I also had the pleasure of doing my first ever <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Yellow-Vintage-Fair-Southampton/524634914241545?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Yellow Vintage Fair at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton</a>.

I am pleased I managed to create more of my new <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/167449451/glitter-bow-hair-clip-and-brooch?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">glitter bows</a> as they proved a popular stocking filler.

I will be joining over 100 sellers in the Southampton Guildhall on Saturday 8th Feb. Better get making!<br />

A new service is now available. Whilst at the latest fair in Newbury a lady was looking through my playing card greetings cards. She selected the cards and commissioned a bespoke piece. I think this might be the way forward.<br />

<br />
As soon as a package leaves my house the panic sets in. Will it get there, will it survive the journey, will they like it, does it fit... I could go on. To receive such thorough and complimentary feedback was a real ego boost so wanted to share it... <br />
<br />
Dear Sue,<br />
<br />
Hope this finds you really really well. I'm so sorry for writing so late but it's been such a hectic time for me and I really wanted to take my time in writing you. <br />
<br />
Firstly, your packaging was amazing! The coolest packaging I have ever seen. I didn't even want to open the box!!<br />
<br />
The actual fascinator was beyond my expectations! It is so so beautiful. I felt amazing wearing it and so comfy. <br />
<br />
I can't tell you how many people complimented me on it and asked me where I had it made. You've got quite a following in Dubai now!<br />
<br />
Thank you so so much for making this beautiful creation. Thank you for making it in such a short time! Thank you for everything....really....<br />
<br />
I will definitely keep in touch and let you know of any future parties or ideas that we may need!<br />
<br />
Thank you and all the very best,<br />

As always I make up a story to go with the imagery I am working with. Usually I am creating with playing cards, they get a bit boring after a while as I always go back to the Jack having an affair with the Queen behind the Kings back. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So the images used from the cover of Ace Magazines, Inc <i>The Beyond, No. 10 April 1952</i> gave me a bit of inspiration. As I am only working with the cover I had to guess what the story was about and so the general plot, I believe, is something like this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Only 2346 photos to either file away, share or delete. I find it difficult to know where to put them all so think the next few posts are going to be a back log of photos that never made it on here. Also managed to finish a couple of headpieces today. They will soon be on Etsy as my New Year’s resolution is to create pieces and get them online quicker. It’s going ok so far...<br />

She always has an idea, provides me with inspirational imagery and then leaves me to create with the freedom I often don’t get.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her dress... orange, black and burgundy. A little unsure how I was going to make these colours work although I knew I would. Her other request was that butterflies, net and lots of spine feathers were included in the design. I knew I had some butterflies that I picked up off a market in Kota Kinabulu, Borneo back in August 2010. I have used the odd one in designs before but not on this scale. I knew they would be perfect and had a design in my head early on. Burgundy and black netting were added beneath the piece to add texture. Lots of feathers were cut, shaped and curled.</div>

Here are the results...</div>

About to embark on an adventure to Mongolia for three weeks. When I return I plan to get a little more up to date and get some pics of my latest creations on here. Until then I thought I would share some pictures from my new favourite place. Jane’s Teas. Hidden away in Oxfordshire this quaint little place is cake heaven. She makes everything herself and is only open one afternoon a week. I loved it there. You an probably see why, it is full of vintage bits and pieces or should I say crammed full of stuff. I absolutely loved wandering around and seeing what was hidden in the bushes. One of the most relaxing and welcoming places I have ever been to. Much better than sitting in Starbucks!</div>

Just listed a new topper in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/99204677/union-jack-mini-top-hat-headpiece" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>. I have been creating some Union Jack, British themed hats as part of a collaboration with Winchester based artist/designer Emma Clifton-Brown who is creating some pieces to showcase during <a href="https://www.facebook.com/winchesterfashionweek?filter=1" target="_blank">Winchester Fashion Week</a>. Emma invited me to work with her creating hats for her beautifully illustrated feathers to be mounted on. The two pictured were the first to be made (pictured without Emma’s feathers) and I am in the process of attaching her feathers to two top hats, one tartan. I can’t wait to get pics of the others up, they are quite special. I am hoping to create a few more designs in this range ready for the <a href="http://www.bvintagebazaar.co.uk/" target="_blank">Windsor Royal Vintage Market</a>. </div>

Here is my entry for the most recent MOE Challenge to create a hat or head piece inspired by a painting. Perfect theme for me.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Complete with plastic ants.</i></span></div>
<br />
My main aim was to create a three dimensional representation of the painting. I have added specific quantities of the coloured goose, duck and chicken feathers in balance with the painting. For example at the back of the piece a burnt orange feather represents the pocket watch, this colour only appears once in the painting so a single feather has been used.<br />
<br />
The base was covered with a fake leather fabric, the tree constructed from wire and paper and the dripping clock was free machine embroidered (no fancy computerised machine) including the numbers. Clock hands added, sadly not moving and of course some plastic ants embellish the front of the piece. At the front of the base three eyelashes have been added. The curly spiked feathers have also been used to represent the eyelash in the painting to give it extra texture. Although there is only one eyelash in the painting I have added quite a few... I couldn't help myself.<br />

They offered to pay for a step-by-step guide for something similar to my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/85049523/autumn-vintage-playing-card-boutonnierre" target="_blank">Autumn Buttonhole</a>.<br />
I had come across requests like this. You hear horror stories of waiting for payment, items not being returned and designs being adapted to suit the reader. I have never really had an opinion about it although I know that I would never go down that road, it would go against the bespoke label i put on all my creations.<br />
<br />
It was bad enough finding someone online had copied my designs. I know I am not the first or the last to use playing cards and even though it was for their own personal use it didn’t ease the creative torment I went through. They acknowledged me and my <a href="http://www.soobird.com/" target="_blank">website</a> which was fine, but it still niggled away especially when they stated how easy it was to create their own. Over the past few years I have strived to develop and perfect every last detail in my creations, something that people forget about. The money is one thing but the time you can’t get back.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I sent a reply back and tried my hardest to sound appreciative of the positive comments they made even though at the back of my mind I was thinking that they say it to everyone and that I was just another ‘crafter’ they were targeting. I never in a million years expected to get a reply like I did. Personal, understanding and very complimentary of my work. Apparently they fell in love with my creations. It was just what I needed to hear. It has been a few weeks since I have had the glue gun on and even longer since I have made a feather order. I think it was just what I needed to hear to get me going again.<br />
<br />
So this weekend I will be chatting to my good friend Ellen about the creations for her wedding in June (of which I am very much looking forward to. The theme is right up my street, and it is not Alice in Wonderland) and I will be putting the final touches to my entry to the MOE (Milliners of Etsy) Team Challenge to create a hat inspired by a painting.<br />
<br />
I can’t wait!<br />

Yesterday I ventured out in temperatures of -7 (nothing compared to some places I know but it was cold) to go to Nettlebed, Henley to see what all the fuss is about. Lou of <a href="http://www.vintagenie.com/" target="_blank">Vintagenie</a> and <a href="http://www.whiterabbitbakery.co.uk/" target="_blank">White Rabbit Bakery</a> had mentioned this place full of stuff that I would love. Tempted by the sound of filling my shoppers with materials for hats it was an opportunity not to be missed.<br />

We went to the <a href="http://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/henley-on-thames/events/199381/sue-ryder-sale" target="_blank">Sue Ryder Sale</a> at Nettle bed Hospice. It happens around twice a month and is located a at a house crammed to the rafters full of donated goods. We trawled through boxes of books and maps, rummaged through fabrics both for my hats and for Lou’s new venture and purchased items at very low prices. Lou’s deck of cards priced at 5p were the bargain of the day, sadly missing the all important Ace of Spades though.</div>

Even though it was only at half capacity, it was still pretty busy. There were queues to enter the garden shed full of tools and the women’s clothing area. We did go into the mens room and had a look at the rails of some rather nice jackets and some hideous shirts! I managed to purchase a knitted tie pictured below. It is quite special.</div>

Some of my purchases included a stack of fake flowers perfect for Easter bonnet season! Some picture cards, Thunderbirds and a set of Platnik Animals. I could have easily purchased a stack of maps but I had to restrain myself. Although mostly priced at 25p each, at one point I couldn’t carry the pile. It was time to edit. </div>

You can’t quite appreciate the fabric in my dodgy picture. I wish I had taken my decent camera. 4 yards of tweed, 3-4 yards of houndstooth, brown velvet and a black wool fur type fabric all for £6. Beats the high street any day. There were plenty more fabrics to choose from mostly at £1 a yard. I couldn’t leave these 4 behind.</div>

Middle left is a little boat. I have to search high and low for the perfect vessels for hats. The galleon I created a while back is so heavy. Hopefully I can transform this mini one into something spectacular soon and get it in my <a href="http://www.soobird.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop. The hat was kindly donated to <a href="http://www.soobird.com/" target="_blank">Soobird</a> by Lou. It had been sat on her Vintagenie stall for some time now. She even gave me some tubs of feathers. I think I am going to save them and create something unique as part of a White Rabbit Bakery/Soobird collaborative project. So many ideas!</div>

Very black and white at the moment. Hoping to add a splash of colour with a new hat soon inspired by a painting. However until then here is the latest addition to the collection a hair piece and brooch in one. It has a strong hair clip and a brooch back attached to it so it doubles up. I found some double clips recently and they are the perfect addition to the pieces. This was something that was suggested to me at a fair last year. I have been using seperate clips up until now. ButI think they look a little clumpy and heavy with two seperate clips. These are attached to a single metal disc and are designed for the job. Perfect. They look much neater.</div>

The button I made using some spare fabric that I had printed by the wonderful <a href="http://www.capsule39.com/" target="_blank">Capsule39</a>. They print t-shirts, hoodies you name it they do it. I was desperate to to get a Maltese Cross on a button and they leapt to the rescue. This was a spare so I thought it would suit the centre of the flower.</div>

I am hoping to get quite a few more made before my first fair of the year happening in February. More details soon.</div>

What a great day. I picked up <a href="http://www.binkypops1.esty.com/" target="_blank">Binkypops</a> early this morning and we set off to have stalls at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/209788589041654/" target="_blank">Vintagenie’s</a> Christmas Vintage and Handmade Fair at the Penta Hotel in Reading. I usually dread these days due to the amount of boxes and bags I have to take, finding a parking space and generally being on my feet all day. I shouldn’t whinge about it because I appreciate all the positive comments and attention my work gets at these events. After all, the reason I do it is to show it all off. However today was very different due to the exceptional organisation from Lou and Anna of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/209788589041654/" target="_blank">Vintagenie</a>. Space sorted, directions sorted, parking sorted it really was the easiest it has ever been. Here are a few pictures from the day. I had to post one of Stephanie's stall as it just goes to show how very different we are. I wish I could turn up with one bag and be done :)</div>

The chaotic presentation skills of <a href="http://www.soobird.com/" target="_blank">Soobird </a>here. I had more than I thought and was really happy with how it looked. Now to find an ornate free standing mirror just to finish it all off.</div>

The Penta Hotel was a great venue, lovely large and warm room. We all had plenty of space which made a nice change from the norm. Often we get crammed into tiny spaces which makes it quite difficult. At the front there was a performance area where a few local (highly talented) musicians took to the stage to perform for us. Hat’s off to the Burlesque performer. She must have been freezing!</div>
