We have to Believe...

This is my newest listing - just finished making it yesterday...



click the image to see the listing - opens in new window

I am really enjoying learning what I can do with all the neat tips I have for my burner, and now I know I can do pretty letters quite nicely!

I look forward to making more magnets and small plaques with just a simple word or phrase on them, as a gentle reminder, so if you have some suggestions of ones that will be good sellers, please let me know - I've got a running list of the words I'd like to do...

Thanks for looking!

Airmid




I was asked by Broomstix, an online magazine for kids, to create an Airmid for their new "Worts and All" column. She is a Goddess of the Tuatha De Dannann who was adept at the healing arts and herbal lore. The print is available in both matted and unmatted sizes.

Let's hear it for Taurus!!

We're coming up on Taurus in another week. Time to showcase the bright, shiny, brand new 3D Taurus magnets. So without further ado, heeeerrrrrreeeeeee's....Taurus!

Taurus is an earth sign and this magnet celebrates the 2nd sign of the zodiac! It would look great on your refrigerator, in your bedroom, in your office or even in your car. It makes a great gift for the Taurus in your life.

The lining is watercolor painting in rose pink, inside a round tin with a glass top. The glyph for Taurus is on the inside of the glass, so handling won’t smudge it. Also on the inside are a sterling silver Taurus word bead and four genuine peridot stones. Peridot is associated with Taurus as are the colors pink and green. The outside is wrapped with a barely there light green ribbon. A strong magnet is attached to the back.

The magnet is 2” (5.8 cm) across and 1” (2.5) deep.
Available for purchase at Luminosities.

The lining is watercolor painting in rose pink, inside a round tin with a glass top. The glyph for Taurus is on the inside of the glass, so handling won’t smudge it. Also on the inside are a genuine malachite stone, four genuine peridot stones and the word “May.” Malachite and peridot are both associated with Taurus and of course May is a Taurus birth month. The outside is wrapped with dark green ribbon. A strong magnet is attached to the back.
Available for purchase at Luminosities.


The lining is watercolor painting in rose pink, inside a round tin with a glass top. The word “Taurus” is on the inside of the glass, so handling won’t smudge it. Also on the inside are the glyph for Taurus in copper wire, copper being the metal associated with Taurus. A genuine rose quartz stone rests beneath the glyph. The outside is wrapped with barely there pale green ribbon. A strong magnet is attached to the back. Available for purchase at Luminosities.

Cosy Custom Tanks in Earthy Colours

Following a request for a custom order, I've been making new versions of the Hedgewitch handknitted tank top. The original was a cropped version (length 19") but it now comes in a longer length (24"), too, which reaches to the hip.














The yarn I use for the tanks is a really soft cosy wool mix which is ever so slightly fluffy and gives a really snuggly feel .. at the moment, the colours available are Cappucino (a creamy blend), Chestnut (flecked beige) and Moss (olive/rust combination). I'm currently trawling the net for more supplies of the popular Copper colour, now discontinued.














These tanks are perfect to keep you warm in that tricky transition from Brrrrr! to Spring when a sweater is too much but you need a little extra draught exclusion!

The ones you see in the shop are generally knitted up to fit a ladies size medium (UK 12-14) .. but I can make you one in whatever adult size you specify (including plus size). The joy of a custom order is that you can specify the measurements precisely .. the length, width, how deep you'd like the neckline, etc. Just lay out a garment that fits you well on the bed to take the measurements (much easier than when you're in it).

They make a lovely gift, too... if you're not sure of the recipient's size, I can send you a beautiful gift card with photos of the tank top for you to give them, then they can contact me with their measurements and have one made to measure.

Click here for more photos of the Chestnut cropped tank and Copper tank (both now sold) and the Moss tank top which is currently on sale in the Hedgewitch shop.

Spring has sprung and Beltaine is near!


Celebrate the renewal of life all year with GreenWoman and GreenMan. Although I've never seen them portrayed together, I thought it would be interesting to have them gazing into each other's eyes, honoring love, life and creation. This print is available in 8x10 Matted, 11x14 Matted and 8x10 Unmatted.

Magic Wands for Sale!


In this stressful world full of responsibilities and commitments, wouldn't it be nice to have a fairy godmother to wave away all your troubles for a few hours? Unfortunately, none of the fairy godmothers we spoke to were willing to be sold on Etsy. However, several did offer to let us have their wands with their well-wishes. Just one wave will transform the bleakest of days into something magical and fun. Each wand is bedecked with ribbons, decorated with beads and crystals and topped by a white and silver star.

To view these wands and many more, please see the Wondrous Whimsies section at LunaSeas. The Prosperity Fairy has also give us a wand that is available through the POEST store.
