Together Forever by redsofa

Redsofa found these two crab claws on the beach in Ireland. They were native to the magnificent Donegal county and swam in the cold Atlantic waters of the north. Waiting for a second life, far away from their original land, imprints were taken and they were cast in solid sterling silver. Like friends or lovers, they will be Together Forever, hence the title name of this piece. This necklace can be worn by both men and women alike. It looks even more striking when worn with other necklaces or chains you already love, especially gold for contrast.

'PIN' Cushion by Sixes and Sevens

Don't worry you don't need to pay each time you use this fun, useful mini cushion! Just pop in your pin, (or lots of pins) to keep them safe and at hand! It measures 12cm x 12cm and is made from calico cotton and handpainted with fabric paint. Would make a fun gift for any sewing lover. This has been on heavy rotation on the Folksy front page this last few days, but it would be a shame to let it go without a mention!

Map Bird Brooch by Buri Boo

I met the very talented Pam from Buri Boo yesterday at the KAF Folksy event, she works in a variety of media and her stall looked absolutely fantastic. There were loads of new items on display that you won't find online – this little laser cut acrylic birdie brooch being one of them. I couldn't resist taking a quick snap of this one, I love the way that the map makes it completely unique. If you love this brooch I'm sure that you'll be able to purchase it if you send Pam a nice email!

Swirl Design Ceramic Deep Bowls by Rowena Gilbert

These beautiful bowls are made by Rowena Gilbert. Rowena adds metal oxides to create colour, then brushes the coloured clay layers onto the slip cast vessel or inlays it in incised lines and marks. The surface marks are created using various sgraffito tools when the clay vessel is in a leather-hard state. Rowena bisque fires, then masks areas on the outside of the vessel using wax resist, glazing the inside and the unmasked areas with a transparent gloss with the final firing at 1160°C. All pieces have Rowena's signature mark on the base.

Lampwork Orphan Beads by Beth Singleton

Rather than choose just one bead from Beth's shop, I decided on this set of 14 orphan beads to show the vast range of bright colours that Beth uses in her work. These are bargain beads that were placed in the orphan stash because they were either too big or too little to be used as bracelet beads or because they have minor flaws. All of these beads were handmade using Moretti and Double Helix glass. They have been kiln annealed and dremel cleaned. They were made on large mandrels and have large 5 mm holes. Bargain!

Love of Earth Handstitched Card by Odelae

"El amour de la tierra" (Love of the Earth) is an ode to the Earth & her inhabitants. This blank card was lovingly handstitched and foil stamped using handset type on handmade hemp paper. Each card is uniquely shaped with naturally torn edges. The card is blank inside, leaving you space to write your personal message. Accompanied by a 100% recycled craft envelope and "packaged" with hemp string holding the two together. Every step in the creation of this card was crafted the oldworld way (except the digitally printed heart) using handtools: awl, needle & thread, ruler, and a bone folder. Made with careful consideration for the environment and lots of love in every stitch!

Mix Tape Cards by frombelgiumwithlove

I miss the clumsiness of cassette tapes, having to fast forward for what what seemed like an age to find that one track you loved. The cassette player eating your tape. Then someone would give you a mix tape that they'd made just for you. Happy days! This fantastic five card set features this four colour gocco design. You can send some to your best friends and keep one to frame. Due to the nature of gocco, each card is unique too!
