The White Collection

I'm really taken with this dip dyed white business!

I was asked to make a tassel garland with beads, delighted too!

 

The process I use renders the twine, pure white and as soft as a cloud!

Ahhhhh porcelain how I have missed you!

 I create these little bloom vases, I'm still trying to figure out what I will use to hang them up.....so far so good.

Another idea I'm thinking of is porcelain end caps for the top of tassels?

  

Ouch beads are back and with some porcelain ones too.

Great news is, I'm only working a four day week, next year!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Which means a whole day to do Ouch things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine that????????

 I won't know myself!

This blog will hopefully be more exciting too, 

sorry it's been a bit crap of late :( 

This is not crap though!

This is my new circle shelf!

I turn thirtygreat, next week and this is something I have coveted for ages!

As is this Arabia plate!

Being thirtygreat......is going to be great! :)

Friendly Tassel

Made a Tassel Twin for a friend. 
Dip Dyed Gold and Arabian Blue, a really nice colour combo together, I also added the macramé knot.

I'm going to a basket weaving class on Saturday and I'm really excited.... learn a new craft, meet some crafty folk, be the learner for a change! :)


See you Sunday with some pic's of my weaving adventures!

Tassel & Thrift

Blue George

Here is the NEW look Tassel Garland, less paper tissue garland more wall art?........I hope?

Now with nine slim tassels and an optional extra of 10 large natural wooden beads.
This one is dyed in the royal blue, so aptly named.

 Some new tassel makers are about.... so I will be doing some serious development and refining of my ideas, to ensure some autonomy.

I want to continue with tassels, so I feel I must come up with a new approach.
I hope you won't mind this place becoming a bit of a tassel fest for a while?

These options will be in the shop soon.

My latest finds, a Bitossi lamp and Laurids Lonborg Teak Owl.
Check out this pinterest board for more


Both were bargains so I'm a happy camper! The owl has lost his eyes but I think I will fix that with some black seed beads.

The lamp needs a lovely new shade...I'm looking forward to making that.
On the home front, Ouch boy is moving into the big boy's room...and I'm hoping his toys will follow him! ;0

Back to pinterest, one of my boards has over 11,000 followers! 
Crazy Mid Century lovers!

Tassel Tales

A big heartfelt thanks to you all for popping by and letting me know your thoughts and feelings towards having Ouch Tassels made off shore (India)?
I get alot of unsolicitated mail in my inbox and I'm asked alot of questions, most I'm pleased to answer too.
The saying 'Yes Please' to these questions have been the driving force of the direction Ouch Flower is taking, the saying of No thanks' is what's keeping it on track!....I hope?

I don't really have a grand plan....just idea's I muse about...then time fortunately presents the opportunities I was looking for.

 The making is the joy for me whatever it is, tassel, macramé or clay. The end product, is the end of the journey and I'm always itching to start making again! 
I would make a great Rapunzel for Rumpelstiltskin!

So just when you thought you could do no more with tassels and you think the run might be over.... then you can!

I had been musing about combining the macramé knot with the tassel for ages....then!

Meet the 'Mac Tassel' or 'Knot Top Tassel' or Uber Tassel'?

So.... No to 'off shore' for me, I will continue to make these tasselly things, I'm not out to flood the market with tassels, I'm not out to make a million bucks, I'm not out to make unnecessary mass produced fodder either, just beautiful things that folk would like to have.

What name do you think?
