All Wrapped Up

My Furoshiki

It's the ultimate in recycling and re-use and you can buy it at Handmade @ Haworth on Saturday 15 October 2011. 

Come and meet Furoshiki expert, Mich Yasue, who will demonstrate how to fold these beautifully patterned cloths to wrap those awkwardly shaped presents!

And it's not just giftwrap. Mich will also show you how to turn a simple square of fabric into a shopping bag or door stop. In fact, you can wrap almost anything in a Furoshiki (perhaps best not to wrap up the cat, though).

So why is Furoshiki so good for the environment? Well it means no wasted paper, no tape and the recipient of the gift can pass the Furoshiki on by re-using it. 

Don't forget that Handmade @ Haworth is at The Old School Rooms, Church Street, off Main Street in the historical village of Haworth (opposite the famous Bronte Parsonage). Doors open at 10am and entrance if FREE.  There is parking available next to the venue at the Museum Car Park. 

Quernus at Handmade @ Haworth!

Mice with Meaning

Guess who will be at Handmade @ Haworth on 15 October, selling her wonderful Fimo creations? That's right - Quernus Crafts! 

There will be plenty of cute and whimsical animals, from mice to cats, ponies to highland coos. Kirsten also takes commissions so why not have a cute model of your favourite pet or a character mouse?

Kirsten's creatures are very popular with both children and parents and very collectible too (you should see her version of the Beatles from the Sargeant Pepper era).  For a taste of Quernus Crafts' creative creatures pop into her Folksy shop for a preview of just some of the delights at Handmade @ Haworth.
