My latest buys - The bracelet from the bargain rack at Diva - I love the orange diamonte eyes and tail. And the leggings with ruched detail from target. I can't wait for the weather to cool down to start wearing these :)
I was very lucky to find these lovely handmade leather shoes in my local op-shop this morning. They fit perfectly, have never been worn and seem to work with my yellow headband, egg yolk yellow bakelite hoop earrings and the skirt - which was a dress in a former life.
I can see that an outfit post will be in order soon.
This little beauty came up on a savedebay search I get sent daily. OOOOh, I love it! Especially the scarab beetle as I love bugs too. It's $60 at the moment and I'm as broke as a gadooli - It's a good time for me to bust out the beads, findings and fimo.
Beautiful hand tooled leather brooches. I couldn't say what era they're from - I may hazard a guess and say the 70's - the butterfly is kind of reminiscent of folksy style and the craft revival.
I love textiles and am a designer and maker of homewares, accessories and clothing and anything that can be made with fabric, dressing, vintage, costume, making things, markets, op-shopping(thrifting), cooking, meeting people. I studied applied fashion design and technology at Tafe and worked briefly in the industry but realised that the fashion industry wasn't for me. I did learn some invaluable skills though which I can use when I sew and draft things...email me at boobookittyfark@gmail.com
