1 - CARRIE'S COUNTRY CLASSICS
|
|
Welcome to ‘Carrie's Country Classics’. Inspired as a child by the rag-bag and button box, Carrie’s Country Classics comes from a lifelong enjoyment of creating gifts with materials and yarns. I design and create hand sewn gifts and accessories, inspired by the seasons and nature that are reflected in my garden. I enjoy using a range of textiles and threads combined with free hand embroidery to embellish items such as bookmarks, bunting and needle books.
Thank you for looking at my work! |

Add a bit of sparkle and magic to your Christmas!! Treat yourself, your friends or family to an original mosaic piece.
All my mosaic creations are handmade and unique: not two ones are ever the same. To make them I use a variety of different materials: glass tesserae, beads, broken vintage china, mirror, Tiffany glass, etc. All reflect the light beautifully. |
4 - PROSECCO & RUBIES
|
At Prosecco & Rubies, I design and make elegant jewellery using silver, gold, gemstones and sea glass. I offer collections with pieces that can be customised; I can also work with you to create unique items for special occasions. My pieces are inspired by the materials I work with and the traditional metalsmithing techniques that I use. I endeavour to be an ethical jeweller by using recycled silver, Fairtrade and Single Mine Origin gold, and sourcing gemstones from suppliers with strong ethical values where possible.

6 - SEASHORE ART - MICK KELLY
|
|
My seashore art has developed over the past few years, taking inspiration from my regular walks along the North East coastline and watching nature documentaries. I started to see the possibilities of creating pictures from items found on the beach which include driftwood, shells, sea glass, pebbles and seaweed. My imagination enables me to create works with various themes and humour in a very unique style.
My pictures are available to view on instagram. Contact: mickellyseashoreart@gmail.com |

With UK woodland cover at just 13% compared with a European average of 27%, and woodland species declining at an alarming rate, this must be the time to act.
The Woodland Trust is the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity.
