100% Rewearable - New Ranges Available

Continuing my work with recycled materials I have been using the heat techniques I developed during the previous two years to create a range of wearable, individual, sustainable designs.

Below is a selection of braclets and rings; to date the new designs also incorporate earrings, necklaces & charms.

The beauty of these pieces is their individuality ~ not only from recycled materials, but also due to the processes I use on them; which makes each crocheted circle react slightly differently.


Yellow crochet bracelet made from a hazardous waste bag, with gold detail fastenings.

Crocheted lilac bracelet with silver attatchments; made from a recycled Argos carrier bag.


Chunky olive & silver crochet bracelet; made from a hazardous waste bag.

Olive crochet ring; constructed from a hazardous waste bag.


These pieces were first made available at the Knitting & Stitching show 2008 at Birmingham NEC and very well recieved.

Therefore not all items are currently available for purchase, however, all that remain can be found on the website www.laurabaxendale.co.uk which will be featuring more in the very near future and can once again be purchased at the Islington Art & Design Fair 17th-19th October.

Knit N' Stitch '08 - Birmingham NEC

As a result of getting through to the final round of the UK Hand Knitting Award, I have since exhibited at the first of the Knitting & Stitching shows of 2008. This took place at the Birmingham NEC from 11th - 14th September. This also gave me an opportunity to make a small selection from my 100% Rewearble jewellery range accessable to the public for purchase. I am extremely happy with how well my products sold & were recieved. I would like to say a big thankyou to all who attented and showed support; as well as all who purchased something from my 100% Rewearble range.

Updates and a shopping cart & paypall payment option will be added to my website http://www.laurabaxendale.co.uk/ within the coming week; so keep an eye out for more products available soon.
The next Knitting & Stitching show will be held at Alexander Palace from 9th - 12th October. For more information please see http://www.ukhandknitting.com/ and for more information on my upcoming shows & products please visit my website at http://www.laurabaxendale.co.uk/.
