I've been interested in working with PMC for a while now, but haven't had the time (oh for endless holidays!). Knighttimedesigns uses PMC to create leaf pendants, to great effect:


These are made by placing real leaves in the PMC and firing it so that the leaf burns away, leaving the imprint in the clay. Knighttimedesigns creates other types of jewellery as well.


She lives in Killarney, Ireland and has been making jewellery for 12 years now. Lovely items in her shop.

Coffeeandclutch on Etsy

Her photos could do with some lighting editing, but her designs are solid. Coffeeandclutch makes bags and "the original coffee and clutch" - a coffee cuff and mini card case (I lightened the first image a bit) :

Here is a clutch wallet:

And an "oooh, I want!" clutch organizer:

A very handy item and pretty, too, click on the image to see the rest of the photos, because you will want to look inside that one.

Fullyhooked on Etsy

Recently some wooden earrings caught my eye on Etsy and the main reason I chose not to feature the seller on the blog, was because I couldn't figure out how the earrings worked! Maybe someone could explain it to me in the comments? Seems I'm still stuck on wood, though, because I found a new pair by fullyhooked and I think I could figure these out:

I really like the snaky effect of the hanging hearts. Here is a pretty, shiny shell necklace:


And another pair of earrings:


These items are not representative of Fullyhooked's shop, I just chose earthy, natural looking pieces for this post. She currently has 37 listings, so go have a look at the rest of her items and see if anything tickles your fancy.

MirkaDesign on Etsy

Mirka Kalmanova designs all her own patterns, then creates her items with beautiful fabrics. Look at the great fabric on this foam padded laptop sleeve:


Here is an unusual bag to carry over your arm (great dress, too) :

She also makes covers for books and will create a custom cover according to your specifications.

It all looks so fresh!

Jrehnke on Etsy

When I come across old birthday or greeting cards during spring cleaning, I always feel a pang about throwing them away. But I throw them out, because I have seen what happens when you don't - you get featured in a tv show about the dirtiest homes in the country and end up on Oprah explaining you never meant to let things get that bad. Jrehnke creates greeting cards with a gift included, so that you can throw away the card, but keep the gift. Here is one of her cards, next to the necklace included:

The card is an original watercolour and comes with a red envelope. The necklace is acrylic on canvas. Here is another one that I really liked:


I liked this cherry necklace, too (it doesn't come with a card) :

She also makes other jewellery items that are worth a look.

Leave a comment if you have a great idea for using greeting cards in a useful way. Displaying them on the mantelpiece doesn't count!

Bunnygo on Etsy

First of all, his shop is called "BUNNYGO". Secondly, it has an intergalactic space whale in stock. Frankly, there was no way I was not going to blog about this guy (who has a blog here, by the way). Since I still appear to be stuck on "cute", let's just say it's a theme and get on with it. Intergalactic Space Whale aka Pure Awesome! (Print of original digital illustration)

He also does vinyl decals, which you can stick on walls, cars or notebooks or whatever else takes your fancy (except furry things, I suppose). Here is his Snowboard Girl decal:


And "Cute White Orchid Girl" (very, very cute): Adorable, I can't wait to see what else he's going to come up with.

Accessorius on Etsy

When Daneel saw Accessorius' Medusa necklace, he looked dubious. He thinks it's a bit much. I think it's great! Also, it's from Finland, so it's a practical winter accessory. He walks around in short-sleeved t-shirts for most of the year, what does he know?


Daneel also thinks this next piece "looks like a net", to which I replied "Yes. With algae." Which is what the artist intended, as per her description: "Underwater life inspires this unusual necklace. Black cord holds a net in blue, green and purplish shades suggesting algae." I really like the colours.


Here is a playful take on what we stare at unwittingly for most of the day, either on tv or monitors. The RGB bracelet:


She has 22 unique items for sale, and is featuring a three-part series, which I have mentioned here, the MEDUSA, NATURA and RGB ranges. Very interesting (and pretty) pieces.

Juliejongleuse on Etsy

I am very excited about this next find, discovered through Twitter. Juliejongleuse makes the most original and striking jewellery. Just look at this asymmetrical necklace:


Everything in her shop has a very unique style to it. Here are a few simple pieces:



And a few more elaborate pieces:


This talented artist is from Montreal, Canada and she will do custom orders for you. During the month of May only, you will get one free item from her store with your purchase (see her shop announcement for details). And just because it's too pretty not to include, some earrings she made:


Love it!

I seem to be in a very girly mood today, because everything that appeals to me right now is cute. Like these clippies by ifthebowfits:




These clips are for children, handmade by ifthebowfits, from felt, ribbon and clips, in a smoke free environment. Items ship from Bethlehem, Georgia, US. Go order some, because they're cute!
