Spot of Research!

Handmade crafts & prints is quite a new industry and style to myself, so I've been taking the opportunities to go out and have a look at what's on offer, the best way I've been able to do this is at craft fairs around Leeds, most recently I attended a day called 'Stalls' hosted in town hall which was small but quaint, some of the photos from the day below!



















I loved this awesome knitted fried breakfast! So cute!


Beautiful fairy-tale inspired handmade jewelry!





















Belle & Boo

I've been in contact with Belle & Boo and I'm hoping to not only get some information about how they started out from scratch and have turned themselves into a well respected pair of artists, but how they found their feet in the handmade and craft industry,  I wanted to speak to them due to them being Leeds based artists who graduated from Leeds Met and they started out in the same situation as myself and my housemate ( Fox Bunting ) so I feel their advice would be very appreciated, I'm hoping that as I continue to email them I could perhaps organize a visit or a meet up to meet the ladies in person!
