Beautiful Boho Style

As a crafter myself, it has always interested me what other people can do with the simplest of objects and Anna from Equus Spirit Jewellery is no exception. 

Anna, a British woman who relocated to Scandinavia has a talent to turn an old horse shoe into a stunning dream catcher following the influences of the Native Americans and the boho style. Most farriers just throw old shoes into the scrap, who knew they could be transformed into such beautiful decorations. 

Anyway, after finding some of Equus Spirit's work flashed across Facebook, I thought I'd take a look. Convincing myself that Milo needed another Christmas present (he didn't... he probably had the most out of everyone) I ordered a stunning White Feather Tack Charm, that arrived with me quicker than ordering something from this country! The western and native american influences make the charm incredibly unique, with Anna's work capturing the free spirit of every horse as well as celebrating the species as a whole, something I think is important as a thanks for what horses have done for us. 

It's safe to say Milo loves his new accessory, with the turquoise stone for protection and calm along with the Tigers eye for trust not forgetting the delicate feathers (delicate and Milo... there's two words I wouldn't have associated together before) and Tibetan silver leaf. 

As many of my readers will have equine connections, next time a birthday comes around, be sure to check out Equus Spirit Jewellery for handcrafted brow bands, to rhythm beads (my next purchase I think), dog collars and jewellery for the human as well! 

Beautiful!

Country Crafts

Hello again!

Well that was a busy few weeks, sorry for the lack of blog posts but at this festive time of year we all know how hectic it can get! 

Anyone Agree?

Anyway, as some of you may know my side line business is a small arts and crafts enterprise called Pure Inspyration, and last Sunday we attended our last craft fair before Christmas! I try to theme my stall on what I feel is appropriate for the event and as this was a Christmas fair tied in with my country loving ways I wanted to bring nature to Christmas decorations. 

Fall Wreath by Pure Inspyration 

This fabric fall wreath is just stunning, with hand crafted paper flowers alongside holly leaf balls, pine cones and beautiful brown flowers. The joy in making a product like this is it's versatility, not only can you thread some fairy lights through it for Christmas you can hang it on your door through the fall and summer as well. A wreath for any season! Each strip of coloured organza is hand tied in a bow to create the base which demonstrates how the rustic outdoors can create a stunning interior or exterior decoration. 

Pine Cone Wreath by Pure Inspyration 

After having much success from my range of fabric wreaths from blue sea side ones to the fall one above, I decided to venture into completely natural materials. With the glue gun at the ready and armed with pine cones, nuts and cinnamon sticks I set to making this original pine cone wreath which I'm proud to say sold within 5 minutes on Sunday *big grins*. The rustic colours and natural feel means it fits into any home from old fashioned farm houses to modern barn conversions. 

If you would like one of my wreaths or for me to make one bespoke to a design you have, please feel free to just ask. Prices vary depending on size and what you would like on it. Also feel free to check out Pure Inspyration on Facebook for more product photographs and items for sale. 

Anyhow, back to making... and nursing the glue gun burn I just gained...
