Welcome to littlechrissy

Well I've decided to take the blogging plunge, despite my total uselessness with computers.
We shall see whether or not I can manage to get this first one out without the computer imploding.


A few words about me.

*** I'm based in Brisbane, Australia. For those overseas visitors, no, it's nowhere near Sydney. Head about 12 hours north and you're getting close. It's a sunny, lovely place that has shed its backwater image in the last five years and emerged like a beautiful butterfly as a cosmopolitan city.


*** I am becoming slightly obsessed with making brooches and earrings. I love working with felt, beads, embroidery, and vintage materials. Most are in bright colours because that's what I like best - makes sense, no?


*** You can find my work at:
www.littlechrissy.etsy.com


*** Please feel free to visit, browse, leave comments etc. I'm always open to requests for custom items too.

*** For your viewing pleasure I have decided to attach the latest three additions to my shop.




Solaris Wrap Earrings: Sunny coloured wrap earrings to make your earlobes grin.

We Are Not Commodities Brooch: Paper, felt and embroidery for the consumer age.








Sea Urchin Brooch: More paper and felt art with dangly sea tentacles.







*** I'm a proud member of the Down Under Style Team (DUST) www.dustteam.com
which features an amazing array of Australian crafters and artisans. Fabulous stuff there - definitely worth checking out.

*** Also worth a rowdy round of applause is the Etsy Brisbane Street Team, or BrisStyle.

More incredible talent here, all of it from sunny Brisbane and surrounds. Check out their blog for details of the market this Saturday - endorsed by the fat man in the red suit himself as a top place to buy Christmas pressies.

Until next time...
