If you asked me to list “my favourite things”, high up on the list would be the colour red, leather and bows. Here are some of the red bow items I’ve made and have for sale at the moment. My online shops are: –
Clip on bow tie – available to orderLeather Kindle/7inch tablet carrier/small handbagJournals, address books, memo pads etcHair barrette and bow broochRed leather bow memo pad
I suppose it’s a girly, girly thing but I’ve always loved having bows on things. As soon as I began working with leather, bows were one of the first designs I experimented with. Of course the leather pleats beautifully (with some hefty encouragement and very, very strong thread). So I made hairslides, bow brooches and clip-on bow ties. The leather keeps its shape perfectly.

Then the bows started popping up all over the darn place. They turned up on diaries, memo pads, journals and address books – even on little business card holders (a personal favourite!)

The red leather bows have been pretty popular so I’m now trying out different colours – wahoo!
