ellie's treasure's

Horse felt brooch - hand sewn - galloping pony
"Hello! I'm Elaine and I hand sewn unique gifts for Ellie’s Treasures, based in rural Lincolnshire, Great Britain. A lot of time and care is put into every item I produce. Ideas are sketched out first, thought through and altered before the materials are chosen, hand cut and then sewn with embellishments being added as the new item comes together. I feel there is something very lovely about an item made by hand. May be it’s the notion that it’s unique and carefully finished, perhaps a little uneven in places, and always the knowledge that no two items will be exactly the same."

Sweetkeetle

Valentine gifts for friends / Set of 5 super small red heart brooches / Sweet plush mini brooches / Miniature
"Hello. My name is Evgeniya, but Jane is also okay. I live in Perm, industrial city in the heart of Russia, that's why I always missed something soft and cute in my life. So let me introduce «my team»: sweet tiny plush fellows and things. They are so different: ugly and cute, red and green, tasty and healthy — but all of them need to be loved equally. Love them and they will gladly return the compliment and will be nice and pleasant guests on your scarf, jacket or bag. They will really make your day! The main idea of my creation is making what I really love and hoping that somebody likes the result. I will be happy, if it's truly so."

Elizabeth Pawle illustration

badger brooch - by elizabeth pawle
"I'm Elizabeth Pawle, an illustrator living near the coast in Suffolk, England with my husband, baby son and dog. I work mainly in ink using a dip pen alongside pencil, pastels and acrylic paints. Bears, cabins and mountains appear regularly in my work, which is strange as I've never seen a bear and I don't like the cold. In 2010 I exhibited a relief print in the Summer Exhibition 2010 at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. My work is also available in galleries and design shops in the UK and overseas. Please get in touch if you like my work - or just to say hello!"

murmurfremo

Raccoon Boy Animal Pin - Green Shirt with Heart
"Oh. I just like animals. Happy little animals. It's pretty disgusting. Sometimes I want to make dark, mean animals but unfortunately they don't come out that way. Sometimes serious, but usually happy and colorful. Oh well. For a slightly darker side of Murmur Fremo check out: www.etsy.com/shop/murmurfremo2"
