Monday Moodboard misty

Just came back from bringing kids to school. We had the chance to go by bike almost every day in September! Today was the first misty day, you know, when you bike, then your hair gets wet and there is no rain!
This foggy morning inspired me for this white list of beauties of my European Team members.

Leather ladies...

I've been working on some new designs lately, with the leather scraps,
I like them a lot :-)
I found some lovely leather, very soft and easy to cut, I do have a love for cutting, it seems (remember the cutted paper tea- and coffeepots?)

I have ideas for other shapes of flowers, so more designs will come!
I combined with silver chain and silver finished findings.
And soon, I hope to make the silver findings myself, as I am attending silver smith classes!
Some of these 'leather ladies' are already in my shop.

and for my Belgian readers:
Oktober wordt een drukke maand!

How to recycle my leather scraps - My creative workspace

What is on my desk today?

- a pile of leather scraps
- a pair of scissors




Remember my repurposed leather flowers?
I had the feeling I had to pick up this design again, I ordered some leather scraps in new colors and started to cut.

I will take these new designs to a fair I will attend on the 4th of october in Bruges: Marché Bricolé
But they wil be soon available inmy Etsy shop too!

Be different

I just ordered some cards at Vistaprint.
They were for free,only the shipping had to be paid. Unluckily I mashed up some things and I ordered too much, which meant that I had to pay more!
It's a tricky website, you order something and when you check out, you get directed to other possibilies,... before you know it, youorder things you aren't aware of!
hm,... will not tell you the whole story, I hope they allow me to cancel some things that were in my shopping cart before I knew!

What I wanted to show is this picture, I made some postcards of it to send with my sold orders.
Last weekend I discovered a hydrangea tree in my mothers garden, with some beautiful flowers, I took a little branch and made pics of it yesterday. The flowers have so nice texture and color!
I like the result!!!

I thought it was fun to show you some designs that were my very first sales in my Etsy shops: necklaces and earrings with my beloved hydrangea flowers. See the pictures here below:
















Do you remember my 'be different card' of last year?

Today is the first day of autumn, the weather is lovely: a bit cold and misty in the morning, but the sun warms up during the day!
And I made this mossy green - purple - wood Flickr Mosaic!
ooh I love the color tones, so very autumn!!
A new idea for a felted necklace comes in my mind while looking at these beautiful tones!

In the meantime I created a ring in the same colortones, my entry for the EST challenge with the theme 'life on Mars' hosted by Serpentaires.
You can find the other entries on her blog.




Hop ocver to Artminds blog to find some other beautiful Flickr Mosaics and play along!
