Final Flourish

So these are my last new creations.... sounds ominous doesn't it... I entered into a local art festival here, part of which included a fashion show, and decided to create a larger, more booty-ful version of my chunky-link necklaces; i wanted bigger, better, more ostentatious, all part and parcel of fake bling. And I guess I wanted to further blur the lines between craft and fashion and jewelery and sewing.... So these are my monster-chunky-super-luxe necklaces. They are available for sale on heartncrafty.felt.co.nz or through personal contact with me. The 'smaller'(relatively-speaking) versions cost $140 NZD, and the 'larger'(which double as scarves) $210 NZD.
Of course, if these turn out to be wildly popular, and in turn their smaller more-wearable counterparts, then I will take up the needle and thread, and enter the 'fray'(har har) once more: Ultimately this is where I would have like/would like to take heartandcrafty, into the realm of mixed-media jewelery to the extent where it is impossible to name something as purely jewelery or purely clothing/fashion. So here's to the future, and to really really big things!

Temporary Closure

So just to update y'all, personal circumstances have changed in the last few months, and I will no longer have the time or where-with-all to design and create new things of wearability. So it's with a bit of sadness that I announce the closure(hopefully temporarily) of all things Heart & Crafty. The good news? Everything will be at clearance prices, so keep an eye out for bargains! Unfortunately nothing good lasts forever, and the combination of family matters with the bad luck that most of the things I make now no longer form part of a niche market but a heavily competitive and increasingly 'commercialised' 'craft-scene', I have decided that I really can't keep up with the crowd, and with the copy-catters. All is not lost! I still have ideas in my head, but will focus instead on becoming so extremely talented and original in my area that when I do release my new goodies, the world will not know what hit it! Tis called a pipedream... I'll keep you in the loop...
