Shipped shipped hooray!

Sent goods!

Everything has been shipped, thanks to everyone for their patience!

I gocco’ed the tags— and it’s the first time I ever did it. It was surprisingly simple although the bulbs crackling was a little unnerving!

I couldn’t estimate the paint that went through, so sometimes patches of white shows through the tags — or even some mix of colours, but it’s still lovely (I think). What I did was to peel away the plastic and add more paint, and using a cotton pick, gently nudge away the mixed colours (after you peel the flap, things are bound to get mixed up a little) and then add in the original paint on it. I’m still learning though, so I expect to be better the next time round.

I’m definitely going to experiment more with it, and probably come out with prints of my yarntree illustration if anyone is interested. :)

On another note, the shop will be updated on Sunday 15 July, so hop on over then to see some lovely handmade beads and new fabrics!
