super duper craft swap with Davina from The Making Home

I’ve followed the lovely blog of inspiring artist Davina Drummond for absolutely ages, and when she posted a picture of some amazing laser-cut necklaces she made on Instagram, I tweeted her almost straight away and asked if she’d be selling any – she wasn’t but kindly said she had one left and would post it to me, so we decided to organise a little craft swap; she’d send the necklace, and I’d send her something in return. Exciting!

As soon as the necklace arrived, I loved it – I’m a big fan of anything laser cut, and the bright colour was right up my street. Although I’m wondering now whether I should have worn it with something slightly more subdued to take the picture…..

The necklace came in an envelope decorated in pink neon by Elfie, Davina’s amazing daughter, and there was also a lovely handmade card stamped with a dala horse motif (which has been swiftly displayed in my little craft area with my other favourite prints, cards and nick-nacks). We’re thinking about organising a larger craft swap as we enjoyed this one so much, so watch this space!

To see what I sent Davina, check out her lovely post here.

Thanks to Davina and Elfie for my lovely treats!

    Craft swaps are a great idea! And that necklace is too good, it would look amazing with a plain black top and a some red lippy. KERPOW!
