Tag and Crafts

I have been tagged by the sweet BlueRing. The rules are as follows:
1. Go to the 4th folder in your computer where you store yourpictures.
2. Pick the 4th picture in that folder.
3. Explain the picture.
4. Tag 4 people to do the same!

So here is the chosen picture:

It's one of my earliest "Much Love" rings from 2 years ago. Actually, "Much Love" wasn't even born yet because it took me a long time to decide on the name. You can probably tell that the use of love-heart cabochons heavily inspired the name choice. I emailed this to my friend Ainslie to get her opinion and she was the one who introduced me to Etsy. That's when it all began, I guess.

Now I will tag:

1. Daisychaindreams

2. Strawberry Kisses

3. Una Bella Vita

4. Petrushka's Closet

In other crafty news, I've managed to get my hands on some more potential craft supplies:

- These bright yellow flowers my mum made many years ago (the camera does the colour no justice!). I found a big pile of them in the corner of a closet. They're pretty big, they fit right in the palm of my hand. I'm thinking brooches, maybe even necklaces..

- A stash of goodies I bought at an accessories supplies store. I went a bit crazy in there, buying all sorts of trinkets that I'm not even sure what to do with yet.


- Old scrabble tiles. This is all the letters left inside - I have no idea what happened to all the others. I'm thinking kitsch rings or earrings.
I've also discovered a place that makes stuff like badges and key chains from digital images. The price doesn't seem that much different from the badge/button-making places in Melbourne, but the one here has more variety and they do the printing (and editing, if we want) for us. My only problem is deciding what to make! I've been playing with designs on Photoshop, and hopefully I'll have something within the next few days.

8 little notes:

Oooo the flowers would be so nice as a necklace, perhaps paired with the other trinkety things you bought! This is a cool tag. It's really interesting to know that about the photo!

Nice heart rings.
Those yellow handmade flowers seems interesting for a DIY project... on a white tee's neck, maybe?

Cool blog!
