Under the Thistle

Welcome Under the thistle! I am an artist not baised on one skill or material. I try to find new uses for items which already exist and transform them into something more interesting. In my shop you can expect to buy something different from the norm. I like to use things that are close at my hand and unwanted materials in unusual and orginal ways. So, I like sewing and sew cards, I like to curve and I curve eggs, I like painting and I paint clothes, I like pasta and I make ... see my blog.

I have to admit that selling online is very exciting. Since now I only existed in real world e.g. last year I had art classes and a lot of workshops. I like designing and I think that my stuff surprises people. Last year I had Christmas art classes we made a lot of extaordinary things. It was interesting, and the participants made amazing things and had a great time! Those classes brought me a lot of new ideas of Christmas gifts.

This is my round card made from paper plates is  from those art classes. The children's cards were inventive as well. My cards are on sale at Folksy in my shop "Underthethistle".
Soon I'll add a flashing Christmas card on sale!





Follow my blog and I will add some tutorials on how to make some interesting things.


This is my new product made last night. It's available on Folksy. Looking forward to winter I thought I'd post some summer pictures from beautiful Scotland.






"Once upon a time in a far away country a small girl made a lovely dress for her doll from her mum's skirt.  Then she made a beautiful Christmas card from important documents..." and that's how it all started. I am still crazy about arts and crafts (and my family had gone crazy because of it).  I will do it in spite of everything till my very end.
  I want to share my passion with everyone!

So last week I made a card for my online shop ("underthethistle" on folksy) earrings and a brooch for my daughter.








This blog is for people who like unique, original, creative, inventive, hand made things.
 
It's for people who look for something special for someone special, who like to surprise people
with their gifts and this is the place
for people who make this type of amazing things.

"Under the Thistle'' is for people who are looking for ideas how to make something interesting by themselves or  spent time creativly with their children.


It is also for somebody who loves nature and cooking as well (those are the main two things I get my inspiration from :)


Since Christmas is soon , I have decided to put some of my Christmas work up, these are all designed by me.
If you're interested in buying check out my shop on Folksy called ''Underthethistle''.
