Something new...

I'm so very excited that I'm writing about my new project even though it's not ready yet.

I'm working on a new line to add to my shop. Versatile tote bags embellished with some of our favorite queens. The base version will be unlined and moderately embellished, while the higher end ones will be lined and more decorative.

I have the first of the base version done, with my first deluxe one nearing completion. Pictures soon!

Magical?

Have I begun the new things I wrote about in my last post? Well, no. But thats because I've been busy with some other very cool things. I just finished up a super cute little project, which was inspired by a few thing.

1) I love little glass bottles.
2) I saw The Sorceror's Apprentice and thought it was adorable.
3) My best girlie over at Avealina commented that she wants a jar of eyes.

And thus, the Sorceror's Supplies were born.


This set is an apartment warming gift for Avealina, but I'm thinking of making some smaller versions for the upcoming Medieval Festival. I think this is just too cute (but then again, I think it's acceptable to decorate with jars of herbs, so maybe I'm biased towards them.)

*No mythical creatures were harmed in the making of this product.*

Upcoming

Well, I've re-opened my shop and have been completing custom orders again. It's nice to get back (somewhat) to normal. My biggest problem is moving around- I can't really carry my supplies from one place to another on crutches.

Right before everything went crazy, one of my lovely customers asked if I'd consider expanding my line of Boleyn themed jewelry and accessories. The timing was funny, because I had been working on a little something new (which I will finish...one of these days.)

The plan is to bring back my The Tudor's inspired tassel necklace (which I just haven't had a chance to restock!), bring back the Boleyn style bookmark, and maybe even come up with a few new special bits. I'm also planning to make a few more one of a kind pieces based on some of Anne Boleyn's lesser known jewelry (like the AB pendant I made a while back, purchased by a young lady with the initials...AB!)
