Badger Morning

Badgers in Progress

My work has been selling really well in the shop recently (Jane Smith Glass- Brewery Yard, Falmouth) so I've been felting everyday and working hard to ensure that I can keep a wide range of stock in the shop. This morning I was on a badger mission! Over the next week or so I'm going to give my Etsy shop a big revamp, I'm introducing a new range of stock and removing some things I no longer make- everything will be re-photographed so it looks a bit neater. Keep your eyes peeled, I'll post an update as soon as it's finished.

Lots of Change!

I have been thinking about re-branding for quite some time now as the focus of my shop and creations has changed quite a lot. So I have opened a new Etsy shop and revamped my Facebook page under the brand ClojoRuthDesigns which I think is a little more sophisticated and personal to me at this stage. Here is the link to my new shop www.etsy.com/shop/clojoruthdesigns.

I have also been focusing on lots of new creations. I have begun making a range of slightly larger, more detailed rings. This is my favourite that I finished last night. Delphi the sleeping deer ring...

Delphi is now available on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/154149860/delphi-the-sleeping-deer-ring-hand?ref=shop_home_active

Brooch & Ring Gift Set

Here's a commission I finished last night for a fox brooch and ring. I think this makes a lovely little gift, I'm thinking of making more and selling them together as gift sets. This was my first attempt at making a felted brooch and I'm so pleased with it, there will definitely be more on the way.

Summer Flowers

Here's something new I was working on a couple of days ago. A lovely floral ring to put you in the summery mood. I've also made a ring covered in roses, I will share it with you soon!

Hello Deer...

I went to the library recently and took out some lovely wildlife photography books, one book I am particularly keen on is a brilliant book purely of close up, animal portraits. This gave me plenty of inspiration for my next batch of rings. I've been wanting to do some kind of deer or antlered animal for a while and I found a beautiful picture of a red deer stag, so here he is, my red deer stag ring! I'm very pleased with him, he's got such character. He'll be looking for a new home at my next craft fair.

More Rings!

I'm still on a ring making spree, I must get back to my knitting! I've made more animal rings in addition to the last ones I posted but I've also made these ones which are a bit different to the animals, so I thought I would share them with you. I love the animal rings, I think they're so cute but I'm aware they might not be everyones cup of tea- these rings are simple and elegant and will add a delicate sprinkling of colour to any outfit.

Today I made three more little animal rings, I love making them! My favourite is the little mouse, she's so cute. I've now put my rings up on Etsy so here they are: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FelineAndFowl?section_id=13451056
