I can now announce that I've started a new shop on Zazzle for gifts and art. All the items use my photography of my handmade tatted lace, my ribbon flower creations and nature. Here you can find mugs, t shirts, canvas prints, mousemats, bags, iPhone cases, fridge magnets, note cards and coasters to name but a few! This US company provides a print on demand service. This means that the designs you see in my shop can be customized to your liking and then the people at Zazzle will print the image onto the product and post it to you.  


Above are some items from photography of my 'Rosetta' ribbon and lace hair fascinator from my Etsy shop. Each product has aspects that can be changed. The bag pictured here, for example, can be changed to a grocery tote.


Here are some products featuring a piece of abstract art that started life as a photograph I took of a handmade lilac ribbon rose with petals. I then manipulated the image to create this four part design. I love how it looks. The iPhone case at the top left can be personalised with your name or you could further customize it and remove this. It's up to you! This design is available on other gifts as well as a wrapped canvas and a poster. The poster can be framed if you wish.

Click here to see my shop. For UK people you can order in pounds from my UK store here. My shop is also viewable on other Zazzle sites around the world. See the bottom of any page on Zazzle for a list of international sites.

I hope you enjoy looking through my items. I will be adding lots more over the next few days. I have sheets and sheets of ideas so keep checking back.

Wedding Coasters

~Wedding Coasters~

Last year I had the idea to make some white tatted coasters. I thought they would be a great and unique addition to any fairytale, Medieval, Victorian themed or modern wedding. So out came my trusty tatting shuttles and I set to work creating them. 


After making the first one, I put it to one side to spend some time on other projects.

Last week I decided to return to these coasters and they are now finished! What do you think? This design was one of my first ideas and I love it! It consists of several rounds of tatting, ending with the chain with picots on the outside ring. It feels Victorian, Renaissance and modern all at the same time.



You can find it on Etsy here.
