New Photograph Style - Inspired by Snails

So I've been playing around with some new photo style the past couple of days. I'm also a little obsessed with snails at the moment due to the delightful silver trails that are left on the path overnight by their nocturnal wanderings.

Trying to combine the two I've started rolling up my scarves into little snail shape designs and shooting them from a low angle and I must say that I am  utterly delighted by the result. The finished images are cute, understated and bring out the texture of the muslin perfectly.

Looks like I'm not the only snail loving person around either

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr its cold

                    
I think winter has decided to give us a taste of what is to come in the next couple of months.The sun is shining and the frost is covering everything and I'm beginning to wonder if its time to get the super chunky knits and warm winter coats out of the loft

Still, we have Halloween to come in the next couple of days, then bonfire night and we all know that means pumpkin soup, devils roasts, hot spiced apple juice and something with custard (and possible sticky toffee if we find ourselves lucky) and all those lovely edibles that warm our cockles wherever and whatever they are.

I'm currently working on some designs for a set of Christmas scarves in muslin for gift giving or for yourselves working with metallic gold paint and 100% cotton that is so warm and soft you would think you were wearing nothing but are still 'oh so warm'


My plan involves some gorgeous star and snowflake prints and dip dyed edges that are perfect for jazzing up your winter party outfits

Some lovely things with a February theme

This week I am promoting team mates from various teams I am a member of on Etsy as well as things I just love that are not.. I'm choosing things with a February theme as this is a great month for decision making and plans for the year ahead

My first choice is this necklace from Star of the East. A mother-daughter shop specialising in sea urchin- beach boho - exotic jewellery from Turkey

I'm going for this necklace called 'Road to Damascus as this year I would really love to do some traveling and their pieces are perfect for a boho hippy look. This ties to Feb as a month for planning and inspiration

My second choice is this collection of ceramic coasters from Damson Tree Pottery. I simply Adore! everything Marieanne makes and these make me dream of a house where coasters are actually a thing that is possible.
These are a new design, made to order and are different from her usual style but have a great 'traveler' feel to them. I rather like the idea of carrying a teapot, teacup/sauce and coaster in my suitcase as I go along the way

Third item is a fabulous gingham tunic dress from Nuvonova that is oh so sweet and attractive, I can see it in many wearways with leather boots,little black heels or strappy sandals and a lace knitted cardi

Fourth choice-  I adore elephants and this  patina ear cuff from  Paisley Ghost is oh so gorgeous! I'd need to updo my hair to show it off but it would be worth it. Maybe just  up on one side.....?

Fifth one is from Cool Vintage. A gorgeous vintage wooden tray in duck egg blue with a gorgeous filing system no stamped on the front. I can see it in the workshop right bow, filled with bits and pieces, needles pinks, ribbon and lace
