Real leather Rose Brooches

These beautiful Rose Brooches have been a hit, with only 5 left (x2 in the darker red colour & x3 in the brighter red).

They would make a very romantic handmade gift to the love of your life ;) OR a lovely Mother's Day Gift!

These brooches are made from real leather, they have been carefully shaped, heated treated and the size of the rose (not including leaves) is approx 5cm in diameter .

I'm also available to make custom made leather brooches all you need to do is get in contact, pick a design from existing ready made brooches, and request desired colour/s (note: not all desired colours maybe available in stock, however I will do my best to source it or find a suitable alternative)

These Rose brooches are not yet available on our on line store, although if you wish to purchase one email the preferred colour and paypal address). They are £4.00 each & £2.00 p&p UK.

Crafter's Working Together (part 2)

 New final project produced by 2 crafters working together!

Once again the talented lady behind Upcycle, Recycle, Make do & Mend- has been busy with her crochet 

hooks. 

This amazing blue a grey Cowl is adorned with one my leather/peacock feather brooch.

‘Working together, another piece from Rebecca over at Forage and little old me .The brooch is leather and is finished with a peacock feather and the cowl is in grey and blue ripple stitch. This lovely duo is £16 plus postage.’ 

Working with other crafters I can’t recommend it enough- I’m currently working with 3 other crafters at the moment- making my unique leather brooches, creating bespoke leather flowers and receiving handmade goods to add to my leather goodies.

Why not give it a go!!

I’m always up for making new leather flowers/brooches for anyone. As you can see they work well with handmade scarves, but can be made without a backing and added to handmade bags, shoes, garments and hair accessories.

Crafters Working Together!

Crafters Working Together

This is a wonderful Idea......

Have you ever spotted a product/item crafted by a fellow maker/artist and thought wow that would really compliment one of my creations and combined would sell beautifully as a set!

Well, I was approached by a fantastic crafter/maker/artist Ellen Roche the brains behind Upcycle, Recycle, Make Do & Mend to collaborate an item from my collection and one from hers.

And this is the final product!

 Ellen Roche skilfully hand crocheted this beautiful cowl!

This cowl is crocheted in wonderful Ice yarn mixed with a double knit to make a super warm scarf in a gorgeous bright colour.

 

‘I was going to finish it with a crocheted flower but then decided to make it quite unique and use Rebecca’s leather flowers.’

My handcrafted leather brooch is made from remnants/scrap leather, it is carefully crafted, shaped, and then heated treated to add the curling effect, to create a touch of glam a pearl bead is added to the centre.

‘There must be lots of opportunities for crafters to work together and I am certainly open to suggestions...’  Ellen Roche

(The cost of the cowl with the brooch is £15 plus postage.)

An Unexpected Journey

Took another trip to Swiss Cottage Antiques today in the search for oddities, and taking a diversion on the way home, came across Kirkstall Abbey  on the way out of the city. It wasn't raining for once, and the sun was out (yes really, we kid you not) so we spent a great afternoon exploring the ruins.

Just a reminder, coming soon  - The Forage newsletter which will offer discounts on current products as well as exclusive access to new items before they're available in the online shop, if you would like to be included please email forageuk AT gmail.com.

Happy New Year!

And hoping you all have a good year! Out on a stroll this morning, the sunny break in the weather didn't last long however and we were soon plunged back into an iron clad sky :]

We've moved to a new online shop @ Tictail and we've been doing very well with online sales as well as at the Xmas markets with new products, so 2013 is looking good for Forage.

During January we have a sale and all our 2012 items are discounted, so check out the shop and grab a bargin!
