sometimes i make things

 It's not very often I share photos of the things I make on this blog - I don't think they are worthy of showing most of the time. But when I made a bunch of things to sell at the Vintage at Southbank festival a few weeks ago I snapped a few photos before to get some feedback. I love making things out of recycled ephemera and fabrics, so they feature heavily.

badges made from vintage ephemera


hand-stamped muslin bags filled with vintage buttons


 greeting cards featuring pictures of Gil Elvgren pin up girls


 teeny crocheted cherry brooches



 packs of selected vintage ephemera (I included a mix of postcards, photos, book pages, bits of old maps, cigarette cards, wallpaper, and envelopes.)


 wooden heart brooches



 stamped wooden bird brooches (these are my favourite)



muslin bags hand stamped with phrases, filled with a chunky wooden heart




 miniature easel and chalkboard


 pieces of vintage fabrics (selected from my own personal stash)



 pocket mirrors made with vintage wallpaper, sheet music, pin up girl images, and fabrics


tags punched from vintage ephemera, including a bird watching guide, and a children's dictionary


What do you think? And what have you all been making recently? I love to always have some sort of crafty project on the go, but am only just thinking about selling the things I make, so would love your feedback xoxo

    The tags and the button baglets are great. When you say 'punched', what do you mean exactly?

    Also, the fabrics you picture there... they have awesome patterns, esp. the blue floral one.
