Studio Bonzie 101.

0 comments Posted by Dono at 12:57 AM

Hi gals, thought it might be nice to follow the last post with a picture of the studio as it looks now. The previous pictures show the shed/studio when it was first bought and its been a long time since it looked as bare and spacious as that!

If you would like to see more of the studio space and how it all works you can catch more in the upcoming book "Where Women Create:Book of Inspiration", available to buy from Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble this coming April 2010.

cleaning up my act!

0 comments Posted by Dono at 1:33 AM

So , since we moved into the new house over a year ago, the back of my studio was used for many odds and ends of a non sewing variety! toasters, pots, pans, dvds, ya know normal fashion type stuff!! lol

this weekend I bit the bullet and decided to sort it all out, got me some mighty fine shelves and organised all my fabric. (don't ask me how long those neat piles will last though, im estimating midweek!) lol

One of my faves!

I came upon these photos recently of a coat I did for one of my very stylish clients here in the studio!! I wanted to share it with you guys as its something that you wouldn't typically find in my etsy shop as its more of a couture piece thats custom made for studio visitors. Its embellished the whole way through the back, and always draws a lot of attention when its worn.

If/when ( *she giggles*) I have my own boutique, I would envisage rails adorned with these type of pieces!

(well a girl can dream can't she!)

Etsy Launch Approaching

0 comments Posted by Dono at 1:11 PM

Yes ladies,
I have been very busy preparing for the launch of my etsy online boutique where anybody can purchase styles like the ones you see posted on my blog!! I am expecting to get the show on the road by next week.

I had a fantastic weekend, at the fabulously talented Linda Mckay's millinery workshop weekend. The venue was mind blowing, like an article out of an interiors magazine, and the constant stream of refreshments kept everyone oohhhhhhhing and aahhing on a regular basis. The workshop itself was fascinating, and everyone created the most amazing pieces under the guidance of a creative genius, that is , Linda Mckay. It was such a great experience to be in her studio, rummaging through her boxes of vintage trinkets, antique laces, beads and hand dyed feathers! quite honestly guys, I was foaming at the mouth! And the best bit was, all these materials were simply there for the taking, Linda generously implies a system of , take what you need to make it happen!
Major props go out to Janice our host who spoiled us rotten for the weekend with fab homecooked dishes and desserts and juices and lattes and treats........did I mention a constant stream of refreshments!!
If you are living in Ireland or fancy a visit to this neck of the woods, it is a highly recommended form of relaxation and enjoyment. Go check Linda out at the link on the right hand side, listed under talented people, why of course!!!

Waiting.................

0 comments Posted by Dono at 2:08 PM

I am waiting on the arrival of my new studio (also known as a wooden shed/cabin) and it feels like Christmas. To have a designated area to make a mess/masterpiece is going to be fab. I had a landscaping expert up today who is going to help to put some style into the garden surrounding it too!! A long way from when I started, (cutting out patterns on MDF on my bed years ago!!! )I will be sure to post the pics when it has arrived. Hopefully soon, as I am driving everybody around me crazy fluting on about it!! lol

Today was a great day creatively, I managed to finish 3 more pieces for the next photo shoot. This collection will be added to my online boutique at bonzie.etsy.com when I launch my new shop!
leave a comment ladies if you wish, as I love mail!x
