Get what you need :)

You don't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you might just find, you get what you need.

Keep it in a Frame

I was talking yesterday about inspiration and how Craftfest had suddenly got me bubbling over with fresh ideas. I mentioned one of them in the post - testing out craft kits and writing reviews on them. Straight away I got a very kind offer of having them published in a craft magazine if I took the idea on. So my first project is on it's way to me as I write. It's a great opportunity to bring more people to my blog and to my website. Hence the quote from the Rolling Stones above - I was looking for sales but got a whole new direction to explore instead :)

Today I'm showing a few things from Craftfest with my favourite theme - Dragonflies and Butterflies.
This first one is from Keep it in a Frame, a beautifully elegant wedding album design personalised for the Bride and Groom.

Fairy Elephant Design

Back to Jewellery again Fairy Elephant Design have this fabulous Dragonfly pendant. I love the mixture of colours in that water with the hints of rushes and sparkles of light. It reminds me of a late afternoon in summer, taking a walk with nothing in the world to worry about. Talking about inspiration, I could just see myself doing an encaustic background with those colours and scraping back to get the highlights ...mmmmm



I really wanted to put another picture here from The Very Small Company, but there pictures aren't accessible so a link will have to suffice. Here they have a lovely Steampunk Dragonfly pendant piece, along with lots more steampunky goodies for all sorts of projects. Bookmarking this one :)


Just in case you have missed it so far, Craftfest can be found here

Come back and let me know what you think :)

Happy Crafting or Happy Shopping,
