What started as a hobby but has now turned into a little business. Bags have always been an obsession for me, and creating fabulous and funky designs for them is just the beginning. My inspiration comes from the late 19th Century. “I have always had a fondness for old English history, their designs and advertising of yesteryear. Especially the Victorian era. The ranges have a vintage look but with a modern twist. All the designs are individually created and applied by hand. This means each piece is both highly detailed and unique in character. A perfect gift and something every girl should own. Website: www.mybellemeeshell-bags.com Facebook: mybellemeeshell bags |
 Bren's Fused GlassGlass is a beautiful material and fascinating to fuse as it’s slightly unpredictable and differing results can be obtained by combining various colours, types of glass and fusing at higher/lower temperatures. I use a lot of dichroic glass which is often quite startling, as it has more than one colour when viewed from different angles.
I own a small kiln which allows me to make small bowls, tiles, coasters, framed glass pictures and jewellery. More recently though, I’ve had access to a bigger kiln so larger pieces are now appearing amongst my wares.
I am: Bren on brenda.keyte@virgin.net and you can see examples of my work on my Facebook page: Bren’s Fused Glass.

Sweet Ola is all about indulgence, creating cakes, slices and treats that you simply can't say no to. These treats are bursting with flavour- regulars include Ukranian orange poppyseed cake with chocolate ganache, Aunty Ewa's multilayer Zebra cake, kaffir lime cheesecake with ginger & Thai-spice ganache and citrus curd meringue cakes. These recipes have history, having been tested by generations of my family-however, all have a modern twist. Free-range, Fairtrade and organic are used wherever possible, with all products being 100% natural, vegetarian and made with love from home. |

Zuzana is a London based textile and fashion designer-maker. Coming from a rich cultural Hungarian/Slovakian background she found an early interest in traditional embroidery, which she developed further through a degree study of Fashion Textiles at London College of Fashion. While hand craft remained a strong focus of her work she is also known for 3-D textile experimentation pieces. Interested in mixing classic hand sewing techniques with modern materials and vice versa most of her textiles are either entirely handmade or made using freehand machine embroidery. No manufacturing process is used in creating her textiles at any point. These are then used in statement fashion pieces either by herself or thorough collaborations with other fashion designers.

Hello my name is Amanda, a one-woman band behind Crystal & Stone. As a self -taught jewellery designer, my creations are an eclectic mixture of vintage inspired and bold, wearable jewellery. I combine silversmithing techniques using sterling silver, gold fill, and copper metals to provide the ‘backdrop’ to my designs, which are beautifully offset with an array of semi precious gemstones and Swarovski crystals. Hopefully you too will love all things Crystal & Stone. Website: www.crystalandstone.co.uk facebook: Crystal-and-Stone-Handmade-Jewellery twitter: @crystoneamanda |
