The Magpie market is soon approaching…only a week to go!
November 24th, 2009
I’ve been busy making lots of lovely button Christmas cards for my up and coming craft fairs – Christmas in the Loft [Adross Farm, Elie] and Magpie Market [Edinburgh]. I love my new printer! I bought it a while ago and not really used it yet. I bought a load of pre-cut/scored blank cards made from recycled card and have been pondering for a while what to do with them. But I got my thinking cap on last night and got productive.

My next victim is Katcha Bilek who runs Re-Collect and designs and makes the most amazing fashion accessories from recycled materials – namely truck inner tubes collected from local tyre repair centres. The straps on them are old car seatbelts from local car scrap yards. The belts are made of bike tyres from local bike shops. Everything is hand made locally, cut and sewn by hand with no use of electrical machinery or children. The materials make a great alternative to animal products and due to the nature of the material each product is unique.

I’ve just found out that Milomade has been selected as a stall holder for the Magpie Market to be held in Edinburgh on the 6th December. Yippee! What brilliant news! So come along to the The Lot – a converted church in the heart of the Grassmarket on the 6th of December and do some Christmas shopping or simply treat yourself.

I’m currently having some technical issues with my own online shop and it will be taken down at some point this week and either fixed or replaced by something new. So in the meantime I’ll be listing my items in my new shop at Zibbet, as well as adding some more items to my Coriandr shop.

The next person in the hot seat is Jenny from Junky Chicken who works with recycled materials to make and assortment of goodies for all.

I devoted some time today to finishing off my initial leaf pendant that I started last week and make an additional two. I could have made another three as I have three more spoon heads from this set, but decided to leave those until next week and concentrate on other things.

My next victim is Anna Clifton who runs Anna Clifton Jewellery who combines precious metals with recycled materials to make stunning pieces of jewellery.

This morning, in between my day job jobs, I’ve been working on a little autumnal leaf pendant. I’ve been ignoring the spoon heads that were discarded when making my spoon rings for far too long and decided to have a think of what to do with them the other day. I knew I wanted to cut something out of them, whether this was a letter initial, or intricate pattern os something simple, but nothing really stuck in my mind too long.

The next crafty person in the hot seat is Monda of Monda Loves fame.

I’ve been working away on a new range of button pendants. When I say range, so far I’ve made a prototype and one actual pendant, but there will be more on the way soon. I wanted to adapt the processes I’ve learnt to make my small silver button earrings and adapt them to my ideas for pendants.

I’ve been steadily working up a small collection of button charm bracelets for my up and coming craft fairs in November and I’m really pleased with the results so far.
