Little pic of me wearing some of my hoop earrings from my ready to ship range of marble ballet slipper leather. The backs are painted in gold and earrings set on gold hoops.

Next ready to ship shop drop is the end of January.

Grateful for this connection made through @bluepatchorg.bsky.social
It's lovely to see the collaborations that come out of the introductions we made.

Rachel @rocworxdesigns.bsky.social made these star earrings out of ballet slippers donated by Royal Ballet & Opera after we introduced them to each other.

These key fobs have a story attached.

The leather is from ballet slippers donated by RB&O to Blue Patch members. To save them going to waste, Rachel @rocworxdesigns.bsky.social reuses the leather when marbling products. She donates a portion of sales to a food bank.

Two incredible stories about these earrings:

The ballet shoes were donated by the Royal Ballet & Opera to @rocworxdesigns.bsky.social so as to reduce waste & Rachel is making a donation to the Trussell Trust - a food bank charity  for every pair sold.

Have you heard of @bluepatchorg.bsky.social a sustainable B2B and soon to be charity

I have had great help and support on my sustainable net zero journey, making question the provenance of every part of the materials I use.
Meet Rachel of @rocworxdesigns.bsky.social 

Rachel is best known for her marbling techniques which she uses on leather, textiles and paper. Rachel is thoughtful in all she produces & even marbled wrapping paper for @craftfestival.bsky.social in June.

Hello. Not been on here since for a while, but hearing how inclusive and friendly this platform - looking to connect with craft makers, musicians and artists here.
I’m a mixed media marbling artist. If you want to see me demonstrating ink marbling visit me at Craft Festival Cheltenham 21-23 March.
