My first order on Folksy came in this week. Somebody purchased a pair of my little toadstool ornaments...
I was keen to get my packaging just right, I personally love to recieve things beautifully wrapped. I experimented with hole punching some newspaper using my flower punch...
It proved very time consuming! So I may have to limit this idea to small orders like this one. But it did look really pretty as a bad of flowers for my buyer's toadstools...
I parceled everything up in a little cardboard box and made a tag to attach, then I tied it all together with jute string. I love brown paper parcels with string...
Voila! Packaging MudMeddling style :)
I really hope she likes it!

More fairy magic!
A rather naked looking fairy is brought to life...
She was really very fun to make, it's always nice to have an excuse to indulge in lots of pink and gold :) She's a little...um..bustier than I intended, but I think it adds to her charm. I particularly like how her mossy head-dress came out, I may have to take that a bit further...I'm thinking Christmas wreaths perhaps?
Now this lady is up in my Folksy shop waiting for a new home! Speaking of shops..I've added a couple of badges to my sidebar *points* and I am adding more items every week. I am hoping to add a silver clay jewellery section to both shops really soon, I am really excited about that. So far my Etsy shop contains more than my Folksy shop because, sorry to say, Etsy is a lot more user friendly and is much more of a sleek operation. That said, there is something very delightful about the slightly clunky newness of Folksy and I really hope if finds its feet as the UK craft movement moves forward.
Rather excitingly, and very much to my surprise, my little hanging ghosts were featured on Etsy's front page today! The Hollow Men treasury I showed you yesterday was selected for the front page today...
I promise not to go on about every treasury I am in, if I am lucky enough to be in more of course, it's just exciting to be in some for the first time so I am indulging myself :)
