CURRENTLY CRUSHING ON NEW AUSSIE CRAFT FINDS #2

Unfortunately my timing is not always on point. I was hoping to have my Craft Finds post up and running at the beginning of Dec, but so many dramas to deal with, which happens when you have lots of kids and that is another post for another time!! Shopping local is really important, but even more so is shopping from small businesses. As I sell craft of my own, I love to support other crafters and artists whenever possible. These businesses, unless stated, I have not purchased from them but like what is sold. So here is a list of my current crushes,.

Kelaoke - making jewellery can be easy to some, but making something unique can be hard. I love these necklaces and woven wall hangings at Kelaoke. She is Aussie and sells via Etsy and her items are truly one of a kind and her love of her craft truly shows in her detailed pieces. New items are added, but check out her Instagram page for all her designs. I am currently crushing on the..

 Reversible polymer clay necklace

Weaving with Polymer clay Beads

JoeyDesign - something a little different. This girl is a very talented illustrator who sells her designs via cute stickers, cards, softies, and has recently add her own Boho paintings.  She designed some very cute stickers for my daughters 11th birthday party. I have loved this shop ever since. Currently crushing on..

Pastel unicorns and gemstones

Reclaimed Timber Mandala Artwork

Alfie and Olive - this talented young girl happens to be my niece. She makes vintage style baby bonnets in stylish modern fabric. She is currently located in Bristol UK, but posts internationally. Currently crushing on the William Morris Cotton print with denim.

Pepper Ink - vintage inspired and custom made temporary tattoos are very popular at the moment. Pepper ink is an Australian company with some amazing designs suitable for tweens onwards. Currently crushing on:

Vintage Butterflies 

Floral Woodland Creatures

Speaking of temporary tattoos, in a different style I love the colour and vibrancy of the temp tattoos from MissyMinzy.  You can also find cute wall art, greeting cards, and brooches. Currently crushing on :

Flamingo Dance Wall Art Print

Jellicious Land Temp Tattoos

Louise De Masi - I fell in love with Louise's work some time ago now, but love what her talents can produce.  I particularly like her Australia fauna, but there is also now birds of UK and USA in her Etsy store. Currently crushing on :

Galah print of water colour painting

Rose Original water colour painting. 

How cute are the vintage style shower caps from Pure Heaven Naturals ? I also like the floral body butter for the lips, hands and heels. Pure Heaven Naturals are locally hand crafted in small batches.

I am also selling some cute stuff too! My button is just to the right of the post with the crochet flower.

Looking forward to sharing more finds with you in 2016. If you would like me to share an item or two from your independent business, contact me. I will not only mention you in a FINDS post, but you will be listed in the directory, which is located via the tab at the top of the blog. Currently there is not charge for submissions. I welcome businesses all over the world.
