my story

I have moved....

2011-08-19T04:15:00.000-07:00

Much has changed in the last few months, I have given up on feathers, beads and bags and a new & exciting adventure have started.

As I embark on a new chapter in my life and begin a new & very exciting project I'm very inspired by these lovely study spaces. My own study is almost finished, my bookshelf is filling up, my desk is beginning to look a little cluttered & my inspirational wall is on its way. I'll be sure to post some photos soon.

It's tea time.....

Many hours were spent collecting vintage tea cups, making paper pom poms, filling jars with lollies & filling vases with beautiful flowers and this is the end result.....

tea time

2011-03-07T16:57:00.000-08:00

My first (last) lulki afternoon tea was a great success, lovely friends, lots of candy & flowing tea resulted in a perfect afternoon. Though I still have lots of lovely pieces waiting to be sold, so tea time will be happening again, closer to carnival time, a little later in the year.

Gorgeous handbags, shimmering jewels & handcrafted fasciantors will all be available.

P.S A big thank you to Lady Melbourne for letting me steal these beautiful photos.

After many years of feathers, beads & bags lulki is shutting up shop. I'm starting something new, something exciting, a career change of sorts. I have spent the last few weeks slowly packing up the studio, discovering things I had forgotten about, packing boxes, storing, sorting & throwing things away.

In celebration of this occasion the lovely Lady Melbourne & I will be hosting an afternoon tea & final lulki SALE this Sunday afternoon at The Style co. All bags and accessories will be reduced, lots of sale stock will be available as well as some lovely samples.

Quite a lot has happened in the last month.... a lovely friend has started a lovely blog,

Christmas.

2010-12-28T00:42:00.000-08:00

Before my Christmas decorations are packed away for another year, I thought I would share them here with you.

I have been collecting bits and pieces over the past few years, adding a couple of new pieces each season.

I never theme my tree, all of my ornaments have stories behind them & I love adding to the collection. I have glass baubles from my mum and grandmother as well as fragile hand painted pieces from Germany and Poland, beautiful decorations my husband & I picked up on our travels and carried carefully all the way home.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

100th post, recording my day, stolen idea, my photos.

2010-08-22T21:56:00.000-07:00

recording my day: quick appointment in the morning, 19min, found old issues of vogue living on my way home filled with inspiration for the new dream (currently a fantasy) home, stopped at a cafe, ran into a dear friend who has all that i hope for (inspirational), quick / lovely chat, coffee: tall, strong, one sugar (changed from tall, weak, 2 sugars) made a BIG decision, butterflies,excitement, home, played with jack (boxer) but not a boxer dog, not really a dog you understand. he is currently asleep on the bed, my bed. took some photos, featuring orchids from my mums garden (i have an endless supply at this time of year) impressed with photos, im checking the setting on the SLR as this was 'point & shoot". started reading some new blogs. did something that makes me anxious but shouldn't.(good) now: more coffee, (instant, 2 sugars, dash of milk, blue cup) get jack off the bed & into the studio.

Half the fun of receiving an online order is packing & sending it out. Each bag is packed in a black mesh bag and then wrapped in coloured tissue paper and sealed with a gold sticker. I have a collection of photos from the lulki photo shoot and I add a photo to each of the orders with a small message written on it, something personal, a nice touch.

neglect.

2010-02-21T01:29:00.000-08:00

i feel that i have been neglecting my blog of late. my desire to post every couple of days has turned into the reality of posting every couple of weeks.

unacceptable really.

so here is a fresh start.

here is my list, my plan, my goals. a new years resolution a little late in the new year.

* post every couple of days (at least 3 times a week)

* start working on this years range of fascinators. (i love starting a new range, collecting fabric, feathers, beads & trims.. its when i have to re-make each piece that i begin to loose interest & sleep)

* find a local bag maker & start another hand crafted range.

* translate all of my jewellery ideas into actual pieces of jewellery.... (i have been working with some white coral, the piece is still in the studio, unfinished.)

* up date my site! (its currently down, due to constant hacking.)

* learn to take beautiful photos, like the one above.

that's it.

Nothing exciting really... a simple necklace for my grandmother. A friend of hers has a similar necklace but it is made of plastic beads, my grandmother wanted the real thing!

Here is a new addition to the studio, I found her at a antique fair & was told she is from the 1940's I'm thrilled to have found such a lovely piece.

As of March ill be starting a course at the Melbourne School of Fashion, in millinery construction & design!

Last year was only my second year of designing fascinators & I still have a lot more to learn, with this course ill learn how to create felt & cocktail hats, as well as making my own sinamay bases. I'm also looking forward to meeting other creative & like minded people. I love sharing ideas & always feel more inspired after feeding of the creative energy of others!

The piece in the photo is something I created last night... I still need to work on the balance & finish, but I'm happy with the style....

When I first started making bags, this shoulder bag was one of my favourite designs, a simple shape with eclectic details.

I used a variety of coloured leathers, and I would adorn each bag with various fabrics & textured leathers. I enjoyed making them, all the little details, coloured lining, raw edges, rope handles etc.. made every bag special.

I have 2 of these lovely bags that will be available online as of Monday.

after all of my appointments, Tilkah, a lovely melbourne store, has requested a range of fasciantors that will be exclusively available in their stores.

... something different, something that will stand out and be noticed. im very inspired by the last episode of project runway, i cant wait to get started!

lovely on the inside....

i love the different patterns, colours, layers & wallpapers used in these interiors. i have a couple of feature walls at home, but i would love to paint over them & maybe hang some wallpaper....

all the above images can be found at http://www.wallpaperdirect.co.uk/

very soon it will be my birthday.

every year i try and create a beautiful hand made invitation that i can post out to my friends, a nice surprise in their letter box. i would never ever, email, text or send a invitation through facebook! though these seem to be the mediums of choice these days.... too impersonal for me.

normally my invitations are created using various fabrics, pictures, coloured papers etc... all sewn together onto a card & this year will be no different, its fast becoming a signature. for this years birthday, i did find a lovely picture of a birthday cake in a magazine a few months ago, i tore it out and put it in a safe place & now i cant find it... so i have decided on this image....

i found "my party" in a magazine and the colour has worked perfectly with 'Exotic Birds' image from Florence Broadhurst. i still need to add some fabric & contrasting paper but im happy with it so far..

i love silver.

2009-07-29T00:56:00.000-07:00

i love this bag! i have been told its to silver, to round, to gathered.... it looks like foil, people do not like the bright silver mixed with the chocolate, but i love it! i only have two available online and if one does not sell, im going to keep it & use it everyday!

thats all...

These are the 2 butterflies I ended up buying for my friends birthday, I found them at Kleen on Brunswick st, they only had 3 left! I was very lucky to find such beautiful patterns, perfect for my friend.

a very good friend of mine turned 30 this week, a special birthday requiring a special gift. i was hunting for a while & i decided on these lovely butterflies. melbourne designer lightly hunts through op shops looking for interesting vintage plates that can be turned into these butterflies. it was difficult to give them away, they would look wonderful in my kitchen.
