Geometric Necklaces

I've been busy! In the past couple of days I made these felt necklaces and did a little amateur photo shoot with some space shoes (I'll show the photos in another post) and to top it off  I started my last year of schooling today, juggling a photo shoot requests from a local magazine and 9 pending space shoe orders! I've been busy and I'm gong to stay busy apparently.
I have, however, found time to make these felt necklaces the newest addition to my Etsy store. I hand cut them from sheeted felt, generating the asymmetric pattern as I worked, making each truly unique. The 'thicker' one in the second and third photographs has already sold, but the thinner one is still available here and ready to be shipped.

Hi Mum,

Hi Mum,
I know you read my blog from time to time. It's nearly Christmas, did you know? Wow, the year goes so fast...
Anyway, in other news, I love this white Diana Mini camera, which is actually compatable with the white Diana F+ flash. How about that? You can get it all in an easy set (including extra film!) from the Australian and New Zealand Lomography Store for AUD $250 (plus $15 shipping). Luckily I've done some research, and found that you can buy the same bundle from the U.S. Lomography store for  USD $183.16 or drop the films to bring the price down to US $131.25 (prices including shipping and discounts).
*hint hint*
Merry Christmas Xx

So lovely.

Catch and Kiss

I bought this playsuit today from the new Princess Polly store that just opened up here. The shop assistant got me to write down my details to invite me to the VIP party. Eeeeep :3

Shopping

I went shopping on Thursday and I'm so very happy with my purchases :)
I bought two records for their lovely cover art - $1.00 each! So cheap. I also got two Penguin Classics books - The Fabric of the Cosmos and How Language Works. Interested to read both. And finally, the lovely Frankie. How wonderful. I'm going to now curl up and have a nice read.

How much?

So I'm nearly sure I'll be selling space shoes, and possibly other painted shoes on Etsy in the very near future. I have ideas about pricing, but I was wondering what you guys think. Please comment and let me know ~

1. How much would you like to pay for shoes like this?

2. How much would you expect to pay for them? and

3. What is the highest amount you would pay?

(Please include which currency you are referring to. Australian or US dollars would be most convenient.)

Any feedback would be much appreciated. The quicker I work out pricing, the sooner I can start to sell :D

All three of John Green's books will be arriving, at my house, in 7 - 10 days!!!!! And as you can tell by my already aggrevating use of exclaimation marks, I am unbelieveable excited!!!!! :D

You should definitely check out his blog, the youtube channel he shares with his brother and his books. DFTBA.

Nice Shoes.

Because everyone could use some cute new shoes. One. Two.

Rose and Ruby

Ever since I was little I've wanted to have a business selling somthing I'd made. Clothing, photography, hand crafts, flowers, artwork, it didn't matter what it was. Just so long as it was beautiful, I'd made it and people wanted to buy it. I always wanted a name with the words 'ruby' and 'rose' however I was prepared to settle with 'Chloe', 'lace' or 'pearl'. Then I discovered Rose and Ruby. I'm saddened that Rose and Ruby stole my name, but it really couldn't have gone to a more lovely company. (I secretly knew it would be gone, even before I googled it.) I am in love with their romantic designs and especially adore their slik flowers. They source fine french lace and design for the woman who is modern, sophisticated and effortlessly chic. They base their designs on elegance, romance and beauty. It relly sounds like the wonderous design house of heaven to me. *sigh* If only...

Georgie Love

It is true that I do all of these things. I especially dream of Paris and I want to live in Chile because Philosophy is part of the national school curriculum there. I also do love tea parties, oh so lovely. I suppose I heart all three of these thing equally. It's just my luck that I stumbled across these in the latest issue of Frankie Magazine. Pretty vintage fabrics and all, these are made by the lovely Sophie Isobel of Georgie Loves. Find these three here, here and here.
