Post 100

Well here I am, post 100 on Paper and cloth! I was going to do some kind of giveaway for my 100th post but with the bra contest (just one day left, get your entries in!) I'm going to delay it a little while. So I think post 110 will be the giveaway one instead, stay tuned!

In the meantime, here's another bra contest entry:

A Christine update

It's all been about the bra contest lately so today I thought I'd do a little update about what's new with me.

Well I've been spending lots of money on this, this and (very excited) this.

I've been making these:


I'm going to be writing for another blog which I'm very excited about. If you have any tutorials you'd like me to consider trying out, leave me a comment.

Ummmm, what else? College is finished until September so I'm free of assignments for a little while. The sun has been out today which is great. I'm loving Mika's album, chatting to the UK etsy girls (buy UK!), gardening and facebook.

What's new with you?

Are you afraid of snakes?

If you are, you probably wouldn't wear this bra! But what a fabulous bra Felicia of Fluffy Flowers has created.

The snake is chasing the little mice around the green bra- will the mice get away??

Felicia makes many more fun little creatures, see her shop for more of her work.

You still have until the 6th June to upload your bra contest photos to the flickr group. I'm looking forward to seeing them all.

A day later than scheduled...

Here's another prize that is up for grabs if you win the contest.



This beautiful embroidered brooch was donated by the fabulous lovealittle. She creates the brooches using tyvek and assorted yarns, threads and beads. You can make one yourself using one of her kits:



So go check out her shop today and don't forget to enter the contest!

Back to the prizes...

Next up in the prizes we have these beautiful earrings from Sakura Fubuki Designs.





Again, my photos don't really do them justice, they're very pretty and glamorous.

Sakura makes stunning jewellery and also produces some beautiful ceramic work. She's combined both talents in this piece:

Read Sakura's blog or visit her shop to find out more about her unique jewellery designs.

How many more reasons do you need to enter the "decorate your bra" contest today? Well, tomorrow there'll be another reason!

Just a few new designs...

I interrupt the prize announcements to just show you a few things I've been working on lately...

Thanks to the UK etsy supplies swap I received these beautiful pieces of sea glass from The Devil's Wallpaper. So with the addition of some silver wire twisted and turned around them, they became pendants:


Two of them in my shop now, with two to follow soon!

I'm really happy with this set of cards and gift tags so there'll be more colours to come soon, in the meantime here are the Sunshine Girls:





In my shop now.

Hope your bra decorating is going well, hoping to see some more entries soon! For all of you in the UK, have a fun bank holiday weekend. I'm now off to do some gardening before the rain starts!

More beautiful bra contest prizes

This time I have two prizes to show and they're from the fabulous Kezzaroo Designs.

First up is a beautiful pink dream pillow:



The little felt pillow is filled with dried French lavender which will help you sleep when you pop it under your pillow. Or you could use it as a drawer scenter- it smells wonderful!

Secondly, we have these stunning earrings:



My slightly ropey photos don't do them justice, they're truly stunning and if I had pierced ears I'd be hiding them and not telling you lot about them! :)

Kezzaroo is queen of plushies and her trademark little people are the best, not to mention the beautiful jewellery. She's probably best known on etsy for her little Mr.T:

Read Kez's blog or visit her shop to find out more about this super talented lady.

So what are you waiting for? Enter the "decorate your bra" contest today!

At last, she shows us the prizes!

I have been sent so many beautiful prizes for the contest, I'm so thankful for all the support from my fellow Etsy sellers. Not only have they sent prizes, several of them have also sponsored me for the MoonWalk. So this is a big huge thank you from me to them!

Now on with to the prizes. First up is this beautiful orchid print from the super talented Jo Askey. It's printed on linen effect paper and has a white border for framing.



You can buy this print and many more in her shop, I know you'll fall in love with her "Shoes" series of prints. This new one is a particular favourite of mine:



I love the rose handbag Jo has created in this illustration- I'd quite like one like that myself. Anyone know where I can find one?

Come back tomorrow when I'll be featuring another Etsy artist and another great prize.
