It's called Beehive Gallery, on King St in Newtown.
Basically, artists and crafty folk rent a space at the shop for a monthly fee to display their items.
This place is fantastic - a great place to find beautiful and unusual gifts and jewellery.
And most of it is priced quite reasonably as well.
I purchased a sweet pair of origami crane earrings while I was there.
They have some truly awesome stuff! I'm thinking once I get properly set up this could be a cool way to advertise and make some regular money.
I saw a few things in their that are a bit similar to what I do (button earring for example). I was a bit surprised and a tad disappointed that someone has beat me to the punch. But mine are not quite the same... and I'm working on other projects as well I guess.
I've been working on some more craft ideas these past few weeks.
I've discovered woolly buttons and have been making some cool bits and pieces with these. They take a l bit of time though as you have to make the button (or at least sew the wool onto the button) yourself.
Also, as winter is coming up, I've been busting out the knitting needles.
I made a really lovely scarf last week. Long and thin, with chunky horizontal ribbing. Also made a big chunky brown scarf but gave this to my flatmate. I've been promising him a scarf for ages. But no more giving stuff away! Not for a while anyway.
Also - I've been working on a design for sales tags to put on my stuff. Top secret stuff... not finalised. I'm going to hand make a tiny weeny lino stamp though, to print my tags with!!
Fun times. It's exciting getting organised.
I don't have any pics of my stuff to post this week. But I will get my act together and take some photos for the next blog post.
