Beauty in the crafting world

I love being part of the craft community. I love looking through my Flickr contacts and seeing all the beautiful, amazing things that people create. One of my favourite things right now is seeing the lovely Betty Jo Designs adding photos. I adore her intricate lino jewellery and art. How beautiful are these?

Another lovely lady with a lot of talent, who I have met in real life, and was happy to give me a speedy lampwork lesson at a craft fair is Lush Lampwork. She makes really beautiful pieces such as this bead set, which you can turn into your own jewellery, or buy as pre-made, wearable pieces. I love seeing her newest stuff, it reminds me of sweets.

Finally, I found these on Folksy today:

So cute! These are made from the insides of old envelopes. I thought this was a really nice way to make use of these bold patterns. I might even treat myself to some. They are from Milomade - I'm pretty sure they won't be there long, so snap them up!
