Photo shoot September 2013

I was very lucky to have a professional photographer Justyna come to my home in September with some lovely ladies who took time out to model for me.
It's the first time I've ever had my clothing worn by anyone other than myself and my not so flattering tailors dummies, so you can imagine how excited I was for this opportunity!
The results blew me away and here are a few to show you...

winter creations

It's been a cold winter, with lots of snow and I've spent a lot of time indoors trying to keep warm.
Making the most of it I read lots, crocheted, stitched, painted and chopped wood!

Just before the snow arrived I gathered lots of sycamore and chestnut leaf stems to weave together with some lovely brown yarn....

I made some sock creatures out of old socks

Started on some new clay fairy bottles

Crocheted lots of pixie bags

Painted a goddess

Made some funky button necklaces

And did some sewing.......

Inspired about recycling....

Yesterday I met up with a man who runs the Greenhouse Charity shop in Dingwall.
Dave Lynch is part of the Dingwall and District Environment group and set up the shop a few months ago to raise funds for the group, it's environmental projects and other worthy causes in the area.
It's a lovely shop and well worth visiting...I could've stayed and rummaged for hours!

He is keen to make people aware of the possibilities of recycling clothes and re-using materials that would end up in landfill.
I've been making garments and accessories from recycled materials for a while now, and it's really nice to find others in my area who are as enthusiastic and inspired as I am!
I am very excited about what could happen now that I've connected with Dave and the group!
I'm also keen to get more involved with my local environmental groups and projects.
I also came across the local Friends of the Earth group in Inverness, that I'll hopefully get along to sometime soon.
