The last few days were set aside to do my tax return. As you can see, it’s been going really well and I’ve not got distracted in the slightest…
Anyway, this is new stock for my upcoming markets (this won’t be going online as at the moment I’m not quite sure how I’d manage to post it!)

The Dark Arts Market is back at the Vat and Fiddle, it’s a short walk from the station, the station car park is fairly inexpensive if you’re coming from further afield, and it an accessible, dog friendly venue!

With the loss of European sales due to GPSR, and the removal of the De Minimis by Trump (this means sales to the states will face customs charges), I’m concentrating more on trading in person.

Last weekend my friend Sophie reminded me of the film Kingdom of heaven, which in turn reminded me of some of the costumes of Sibylla, which reminded me of an offcut of sari fabric that was left over from another job, which meant I then had to make this hood.

Today I put the finishing touches on two of the orders for Fantasy Forest Festival but I won’t share those with you till after the event, so here’s a stunning image of and by Domina Ex Mortis wearing a wisteria set I made for a catwalk show a few years ago, I really should sell this one!

Beth’s English flower meadow wedding dress. The skirt and veil have hundreds of hand sewn flowers, the under layer of the skirt an ombré dyed hem, and of course what meadow would be complete without some bees and ladybirds, and I couldn’t resist adding a lucky four leaf clover to the veil!
