Mail Art Package to Katie Whittington

Last week I sent the very talented Katie a package of all-sorts of different items.
First I made a hand-sewn fabricated curtain ring saying 'Hello' attached to a card with a note inside. 


I recently bought a whole load of vintage Disney Stamps so I decided to give some in my mail art packages. This time Katie got 'Snow White' themed ones. You can see next to the stamps a scroll of paper which I cut out her favourite word into, 'Bumble'. I also made up a pack of  fabric, buttons, trinkets, beads, lace, ribbon and paper ephemera. 


An original A5 illustration of a compass.


Dragonfly Origami Box

I am actually going to make these to sell in my Etsy shop soon. I'm known for making origami boxes and I thought it would be an awesome idea to place drawings of animals, beetles, insects, etc with a description label below inside the box. I really enjoy'd making these. I love dragonflies. On the lid I did a 3D effect with some Geometric style drawing. It unfortunately got a bit flattened and came loose a bit on the top in transit...must do better packaging next time.




My Charms and Pendants



The below pendant is from this Etsy shop: Round Rabbit 




The Minnie Mouse and green/gold one are from my childhood.


The little silver heart is also from my childhood, the rest of the pendants are from old necklaces or given to me as presents.

My collection of Brooches......

So here's another jewellery post for you lovelies . Another thing I don't have much of are brooches. I used to wear them loads when I was at collage and uni, and don't really know why I haven't worn them since. I would love to get more vintage ones.
Enjoy :)

This one is from the 1920's









The last couple of  brooches are my mums
