Don't Steal My Rainbows!!

Today I am not a very happy Rainbow maker : (
I found MY photo, MY name and MY designs being used by a company in China on Alibaba.com.

I have sent a complaint to Alibaba, hopfully they will remove my photo and ban the seller.
I can prove I sold this item back in 2008 on Etsy

So all you designer makers out there, watch out there are thieves about!!
And if you have any tips for stopping this from happening I would love to know.

Art Lovers Ibiza

 As promised the rest of my arty saturday in Ibiza!!

I was drawn to this project by polaritylab purely for the arty side of making a picture with lots of people. All the men had to dress in white and the women in red.

The more spritual side of it all was based on a series of simple, dynamic drills to explore feminine and masculine polarities in order to experience the power of union and love in oneness. It's not my cup of tea, but i tried my best!!

We created two triangles, the men in white and the ladies in red and then merged them both together.

It was photographed from a beautiful hot air baloon (one day I'm going up in that)

It was a wonderful experience, so glad I was part of it - I wonder if I can get enough people together to make a giant rainbow!!

Meeting Ra Superstar

Yesterday I had the pleasure of not only going to an exhibition of Ra Superstar, but getting to see him paint live!! I love his work, it's so colourful, happy and full of life - plus there are a few rainbows thrown in for good measure!!! And he is such a lovely guy - he listened to me go on about rainbows for ages : )

It was held at the wonderful Atzaro Beach at my local beach Cala Nova, what a perfect day!
Check out Ra's work here www.rasuperstar.com
We had a very arty day yesterday, will tell you the rest tomorrow!

The Rainbow Room in a 'Real Book'

How super happy am I to see my cloud mobiles in a 'real life book'.
The mobiles were used as props in a wonderful knitting book, Little Rascals by MillaMia. It looks like a beautiful book for hand knitters full of contemporary knits for babies and children - need to get myself a copy!!

Lovely Customers!!

Just had to share these wonderful photos from a lovely customer I worked with on a custom order.

WOOL SALE!

Just wanted to let you know that all my wool mixes, and silk blend packs are on SALE - there all come beautifully presented and are great for felting, spinning and lots of other crafty projects. So if you've been tempted before...now's the time to buy cos when they are gone they are gone and then I willl be too xx

The BIG News!!!

*drum roll* ...............I have some good news and some bad news, and I have been desperate to tell you all but have been waiting till we knew for absolutey sure.

So lets start with the good news (it's good for us) we are off to Ibiza and not just for a holiday for at least 6 months maybe more. I will be having a stall at the wonderful Hippy Market in Es Cana and I can't wait to be surrounded by all the lovely things every week : )

So the really bad news is I will be closing my Folksy shop on the 25th of March.

The other bad news is I will no longer stocking my felting mixes and supplies.

The Etsy shop will be closing around the 25th of march for a few weeks while we are travelling and working out how the postal system works!!!

So....... if you need anything get in quick, supplies are running out and some of my designs will be discontinued : (

BUT I will be adding new designs this summer, all inspired by the wonderfulness of Ibiza!!!

So, an exciting new start for me, my family and my rainbows!!

Let's see where it takes us x

Am I Too Late?
