I started making these scarves because I was sick of being subjected to bland, mass-produced, predictable fashion. I hate having to go into high street fashion stores, I always leave feeling that I've been visually assaulted. Not to mention getting practically molested by fellow members of the public with their mad eyes & sweaty hands, that grab and shove you out of their path so they can claw that last generic "must have" (translation - "everyone will have") t-shirt from the rail. Then the final slap in the face, when you finally manage to drag your now bruised & battered body through the shop, clutching an item that in your haste to leave you have decided is passable as "ok", or maybe you just needed something to use to apply pressure to your bleeding open wounds. You leave the store wearing your regretable, newly purchased, lycra clad catastrophe, (which by now is the only thing holding your swollen major organs in their correct place), and you promptly collapse in the street. When you open your eyes you find a strange woman giving you mouth to mouth. She's about to phone for an ambulance, when you look down and realise that you're both wearing the exact same t-shirt. How's that for kicking you when you're down? You desperately grab your purse, take out a pen and scrawl DNR across your own face. Now, I'm guessing you wouldn't want to suffer this same fate? I know I didn't, so I started making things myself, things that we're a little different and made me smile. Pretty soon those mad eyed freaks of the public were back grabbing at me again. Except this time it was with curiosity. Their eyes calmed as they made weird "ooooh" sounds and I realised that maybe other people were as dissatisfied as I was with the lack of originality on offer...maybe I could even do this over the internet so people didn't have to go through this lenghtly ordeal?! Cut a long story short, I made those mad eyed lil' weirdos some pretty special things, the curse was lifted and we all lived happily ever after. Now...here's some prices: The stripey snake scarves are £18 and have a hidden stash compartment in the snakes mouth for hidding...pretty much whatever you want to put in there...within reason! My snakes with scales are £35, it takes so bloody long to measure, cut out and sew on each individual scale, I almost go blind in the process. Mr.Fox is £28 and he is worth every damn penny, when placed in your wardrobe he will seek and kill lesser clothing! My lil' bags and things range from £8 - £30 and are fully lined, the one pictured in my slideshow is a make-up bag and is £8. I'm still working on more designs and update pictures regularly, if you want something special I do commissions and my prices aren't crazy for it either, so just email me and ask :) I design and make all my products myself to my own patterns. they're all different so you know that yours is 100% original, and mainland UK postage is completely free of charge!!! i know, i know, i'm the best...tell me again!Get Myspace Layouts @ CodeMyLayout.com
