My First Alchemy Creation

I occasionally apply to alchemy requests without much hope, but someone accepted my bid and I have just completed the order-I'll be sending it tomorrow.

The order was for a set of mini versions of several of my soap scents. It turned out well and I think the way I packaged it is adorable, very homey, very much in tune with the sort of image I'm trying to present of my business. In fact, I'm so fond of it I'm posting a picture below:

It's a simple cardboard backing (recycled from some boxes) wrapped in unbleached muslin with a hand-written card listing the scents in the package and all tied up with a silky brown ribbon. I think that might be the standard for all my multi-soap sets.

Happy National Poetry Month!

I just posted this necklace on Etsy, the top pendant flips up and reveals a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Be careful what you set your heart on, for it will surely be yours."

Sale!

I sold one of my felted rose pouches with cream ribbon ties today! A friend of a friend had heard I was making bags and asked to see some of them. The pouches are my favorite style to make. They are simple but classic and versatile; they can be used as a gift bag for jewlery and other small trinkets, change purses, belt pouches or wrist sachets for Renaissance Faires or Celtic Festivals.
As soon as I start making a semi-regular income from my crafts I will invest in a decent camera. Until then, I'm afraid the pictures won't be that great.
