I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, too many fingers in too many pies, so to speak. But a few things are happening… I  decided to consolidate my endeavours somewhat, especially on the internet. Right now my Made it and Etsy shops are empty, here’s why…

So a few things:

New shop for Drewzel handmade and reclaimed goodness here:

Bags de Jour will also be available on Crafty Bobbins, or locally at the current retailers.

Bird Mad Girl handmade arty goodness with be exclusively located here:

So I’ll update again when I’ve sorted everything, and it’s all confirmed.

See, that was a bit exciting, wasn’t it?

Here’s a collage that I made as a pressie for my buddie KateyB.  This one measures 10×7 inches and features a lot of vintage ephemera.

The saying “If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.”, is a Chinese proverb, one of my favourites.

Handmade collage on canvas, currently for sale at:

Here’s a collage, and the theme I went with on this one is vintage and pretty! Little bits and pieces, scraps of ephemera combine for a textured piece that wants to be hanging on your wall! Sealed and measures 15 x 7 cm, and one of a kind.

On my etsy now.  And I think they look pretty all wrapped up:

As part of a Burlesque swap on swap-bot, I made these atcs, still have some more to do.  Love Alberto Vargas!

I made all these yesterday - soon to be for sale in my Made It shop here: http://www.madeit.com.au/madeit/supplierdetail.asp?rsSupplierID=891

One of my Flickr friends was saying her mailbox was lonely, so at lunchtime I bought a blue wren card in my travels, and set to altering it for her. This is what I came up with – not entirely happy with it, as I could only use embellishments and things I had around the office. Still, it’s flown away to the USA now.

Made this one for a swap-bot swap. “An age old problem” indeed.

I *heart* Moo cards, this is the third set I’ve ordered now. I use them as business cards, put them with swaps, and use them for swing tags on my Bags de Jour. This round I made some using detail from my collages…I’m quite happy with the way they turned out.

I’ve made some birdy cards out of my hand carved stamp – they’re now available at my Etsy shop.
