Tuesday comes newsday from the Denver Studio....
I've been a busy busy bee out and about over the weekend- like i said in the last Newsday I was off to brush up my knowledge on trading at markets at the Brisstyle "Markets 101" info session at Racecourse Rd, Hamilton saturday morning.
Although i've been doing markets for about 3-4 years now i feel there is never too much knowledge to be had and in saying this it was a great session to pick up a couple of tips and meet some grand new people and share my market experience with them.
After scoffing enough delectable sweets to last me a lifetime i toddled off in the cube over to West End and had a bit of a wander . . . . ..
Here [in west end] i gave money to a busker, ate a yummy kebab, saw some street happenings [drunk man with pants down getting taken away by the police is always great entertainment i say] checked out the Yard Sale at Nook and chatted with Jay in Cadillac Barbie about what we can do to wicked my hair up in the near future!
Sunday had a lovely but icy cold quiet day at the Marky Markets. Buuuuut on a positive note i don't have to madly make any more stock!! hehe

Since last week i have had some thought on creating some new product for my market stall other than rad clothing... after lots of great reading, brainstorming and searching through the interwebs i have decided to play with felt and make some cute denver brooches here's some sketch pics of what i might like to create:
I also found this tutorial from the Bugs and Fishes blog with great tips on cutting and shape placement, check it out- make- a - felt brooch
While on the lookout of my studio window (mainly daydreaming while supposed to be working) i was wondering if i can make purses too, little coin purses with denver print/ illustration material? What do you think? I'd like to use a nice silver clasp any ideas where i can get these?
I was hoping this weekend i could go to the workshop that crazy kid Teneale from Wicked Child Designs is holding at the Capalaba Library.
She is teaching how to make your very own UFO pin cushion. Wowzers! Although i have made pin cushions before, i thought it would be a great little day to see some happy crafty faces and have a little K time :) .... BUUUUUT i forgot i already registered for the Brisstyle Markets 101 info sesh! haha Damn me and my double-booking myself
Hey! Yesterday afternoon i was having abit of a play and i came up with this scarf, it's totally 'world lovin' because i made it from the scrap fabric leftover from making the jumpers whoop whoop!
Then..... on Sunday i'm off to the Marky Markets in West End, come pay me a visit i'll be there from 11-4!
