A hat for Olivia

 This is a hat I made back in July 2012, as part of the little workshop I did with Catherine Kelly at Embellish Atelier in Roselle, Sydney. 

For my lovely friend Olivia, who turns 21 this Friday!

In the process of making more brooches eee!!

the linen has a beautiful slump yarn to the weave, it is a very raw, honest fabric.

Thanks for your support over the past year friends!
Let the making continue!

pressed flora patterns

I love flowers, but one thing I love more is pressing flowers.

Their colour lasts forever and their fragility is even more intensified.

These ones were picked up from beside the path on the way to art school.

It even works on leaves!

 How rad would this be as a print on shorts or a cute little blouse !?

some more felt brooches

Back in December I got some more brooches lasercut, with a company in New Zealand called Ponoko

More of the same that I got cut back during the semester, and some new little animals too!

Lasercut felt smells so bad, so it needed a good wash in cold soapy water and the edges needed a good scrub with a toothbrush to get rid of the singed felt.

(yuck look at that water. ew)

Once they were dry and well fragranced, I glued a brooch back on the side with rag engraved and attached them to the brown paper card that I (painstakingly) typed with my typewriter

 And ta da!! here they are, 

a lazy month later all ready to go to market!

there are 34 bunnies - some sitting some jumping

8 squirrels

8 horses

4 birds

and 1 wolf

...they could be keeping your jumper/blouse/dress pretty cosy

let me know if you want one in the next few days and you are in Sydney, 

otherwise, you will find them at the ANU Arts fair on 12th of Feb in Canberra 

where you can pick one up for $10..Bargain!!!

I'll be posting them in the next few days so let me know asap!
