Lindi Kingi Design

I have been meaning to blog about Lindi Kingi for ages now - she is one of my favourite jewellery designers (I did feature one of her bracelets in my Green with Envy post). Lindi describes herself on her website as an emerging jewellery designer, but I would say she has well and truely emerged now - she has been featured in the latest Fashion Quarterly magazine. When I couldn't find a turquoise bracelet at my local Storm retailer I emailed Lindi directly, and she was only too happy to make one up for me with my choice of charms. What I love about her jewellery is that it's beautiful with a touch of edginess (is that a real word?!). As well as her website and blog, you can follow her on Facebook - so go and check her out.










Liza Rendina's Little Stars

I recently found a lovely blog called Kickcan & Conkers - Deborah blogs from her home in the South of France (oh, how jealous I am, I love the South of France!). If you visit her blog you will also find a recent posting about another talented woman, Liza Rendina. Liza makes these exquisite felt animals - you can find her on Etsy, her website and her blog. I love the detail and the gorgeous fabrics on these "Little Stars". Those horses are such dudes!

Japanese Influence

Because of my love of colour and pattern, I have always been drawn to Japanese design. Recently the Kokeshi dolls have become hugely popular. Though the very earliest dolls might have been unpainted, today most are painted in bright floral designs, kimonos, and other traditional patterns. Each doll is like a little piece of art. Sending all my good wishes to the Japanese people in this difficult time - xxx.
