¥9,000
READY TO SHIP Have you ever had an idea that won't leave you alone? That was how the braided neckpiece was born. For several years I've been playing with braids in paracord, cord, obijime and anything I can find. But the kimono cord braid was something that eluded me. I just couldn't work out how to make a continuous 3m kimono cord and had tried so many times that I eventually shelved the idea. Until recently. I finally worked it out and a new line was born. Lovingly designed for comfort and made by hand in Tokyo from personally-sourced authentic vintage kimono. Despite the volume of the neckpiece, it is surprisingly light and easy to wear. Comes boxed in a Bikudesigns gift box. Plastic free packaging. Details Colour: as green as the frog himself (colours may vary on different devices and monitors) Materials: vintage kimono fabric, stainless steel, plated brass Shipping and packaging IMPORTANT: NOT CURRENTLY SHIPPING TO EVERYWHERE!

Congrats to my lovely online creative friend, Lorna from Lorna Gilbert Ceramics on the launch of her fantastic Instagram charity event at the end of this month. Lorna has encouraged the handmade ceramics community to come together to take part in a one day event to sell their creations to raise money for a charity of their choice. Famous TV potters Keith Brymer Jones, Kate Malone and Sue Pryke (The Great British Throwdown) are donating their work to be raffled off. This sort of pay-it-forward initiative is JUST what the world needs right now. You can find details of the talented artists taking part, the charities they're supporting and the raffles to win amazing pottery prizes over on Lorna's second Instagram here. Follow Lorna Gilbert Ceramics on Instagram. Good luck everyone! You might also like...
This time last year I was mostly oblivious to Covid-19 and was busy planning my upcoming jewellery collections. With it being a leap year as well as the Tokyo Olympics year, 2020 was feeling particularly hopeful and exciting. In February the Leap Collection was launched with 29 pairs of earrings (one for each day of Feb) made from all the supplies I've collected over the years. It turned out that one pair per day of one-of-a-kind earrings just wasn't enough, so I then made 2 pairs a day. At the end of the month the Last Leap event rounded it all off. It was a crazy busy month, and my best February ever. Yet during all this busyness, some time in mid February, a dark cloud appeared in the distance, a grumbling, worrying cloud that was getting closer by the day. I kept 'leaping' into 2020 with gusto, but by the end of February the reality had hit. This wasn't going to be the year my business REALLY took off, this was going to be hard and scary and confusing and awful. Yet somewhere in that mess of emotions came light. I connected with so many amazing creatives all over the world in 2020 thanks to @indie_roller and I added some new products too. And even though my kids missed heaps of school, we all reconnected as a family on a whole other level. It wasn't all rainbows and butterflies, but we got through and in some ways we rebooted our thinking. Prioritising others can make you do that. So here I am approaching another year, with a little trepidation, but with more peace and quiet. Welcome to Rise and Shine. The new Collection is launching on February 1st and every single day in February. Keep sparkling, Vx You might also like...
