Mission Accomplished

I've been wanting to do this for ages...

...and now finally I've managed...

...thanks to Curious Llama who I met at the Melbourne Etsy meet up a few weeks ago I found an outlet that supplies wool felt balls. I had started trying to make the balls myself, but they were just taking far too long to make it possible...

...but now I can spend my time on embroidering the felt balls and piecing them together...

...to make a fantail felt necklace!

I'll bring it with me to Rose Street Artists' Market this Saturday. There is a fashion show happening this week which should be fun and hopefully bring lots of people. I've heard the market is going to be chock-a-block full of stalls, so it would be a good week to check it out if you haven't been before.

Gorgeous Tilly Morris Jewellery

Both Tilly Morris and her jewellery are gorgeous! I know Tilly through the Australian Print Workshop, she does an amazing job selling our prints and always wears fantastic earrings. I found out recently the her jewels are of her own making and that she has an etsy shop selling her work. She also has a beautiful website with her full range of jewellery.

Turquoise Heishi Disk Hoop Earrings

Her earrings are made of beads sourced from around the world, including Ethiopian silver, desert seed beads from Peru and cut stones sourced from the Pilbara in Western Australia.

Pop into the Australian Print Workshop to see what she is wearing today or visit her website or her etsy shop.
