Cold, wet and crafty.

It's cold and wet in New Zealand, and I've been working in front of the heater at night making some tie necklaces.
What I love most about them is that they are quite unpredictable, and you never really know how they will end up. I let myself just 'go' with them, so they are a very organic process, influenced by their pattern and texture.
I finally started listing some of them on my very old and forgotten Etsy account, so if there is one you fancy, go and get it!

My inspiration is back!

Glad to say that inspiration is 'once again' firmly planted in my brain! :-)

 While pregnant with my second son, I lost all inspiration that was left in me after my first pregnancy, and all I could really concentrate on was growing this new life inside me while taking care of my demanding toddler.

I suffered a bit of postnatal  depression since my seconds son's birth 6 months ago, but thankfully to a fantastic husband and an observant Mum, I did get some help for this. The medicine started taking effect and it is like the "light" went back on. I didn't realize how dark it had become...

I made this recycled neck tie necklace - LOVE it!

I've started with my 'Once again' crafting endeavours in January 2011 - and I mainly make things from recycled, up-cycled materials. Although I'm not limiting myself there. I'm going where ever this new wave of inspiration is taking me.

So expect variety! :-)
