Crochet Carrier Bag Necklaces

Here are a few new necklaces I have made by crocheting old carrier bags. Instead of going on to use my heat treatment on them I have left them in there normal state, which works really well for big neck pieces and statement jewellery.

Orange carrier bags with a sophisticated gold organsa ribbon which makes for a really unusual combination.

The second necklace is made from light pink carrier bags, attached to a lightweight lilac chain.

Going For A Song Jumble - Photos

Some photographic delights of my stall at the April Going for a Song Jumble, held in the Amersham Arms in New Cross.

A rather chilled day... With some rather good ukelele players and some lovely fellow jumblers!

A little sample of my earring collections, made from recycled materials and objects such as carrier bags, ring pulls, bottle tops, bike chains & lego blocks.

... My no. 1 customer of the day! Enjoying her dominoe necklace with anodised blue chain and a couple of bottle top broaches to match!

Thankyou very much!

Take a look at this guy's work:

Fab t-shirts, carbon neutral organic cotton bags & some awesome animal jumpers all screen printed by one man in his kitchen.

There were some fab people at the jumble and some awesome realisation of the wonders of recycling from Rosie Posy, who creates beautiful & unique hand made bags from recycled bras!

Recycled Paper Gift Bags

Here's a little sample of the gift bags I make using recycled catalouges, flyers and whatever else people have finished reading already!

All the lovely people who buy my jewellery at my stalls and online get it handed to them in one of these... Unless of course they just want the empty bags; then I happily sell them separately too!
