One thing that hasn't changed during my recent hiatus is my love of Etsy - It is still my first port of call for unique gifts (for others and myself) and I can happily while away the hours browsing for future purchases.

I used to share my recent favourite items on a semi-regular basis so thought I would start doing so again, especially in the lead up to Christmas. Though rest assured my normal Etsy Christmas gift guides will be posted in due course.
This hoop is exactly what it says it is- a work of art. I loved this the minute I saw it - it's reminiscent of the abstract art I am loving at the moment that is colour blocking with pops of texture but taken to a completely new level.
I don't know how I stumbled upon Emma's shop but I am so glad I did. Her loose watercolour style is the perfect match for these articulated creations. If like me, you are on the other side of the world and shipping is too expensive, you can get pdf versions too which are what I will be treating myself to.

I have been following Lydia on Instagram (@_lydiarink_/ - go follow her, you will be amazed and inspired in equal amounts) for a few months now after her mini-videos were recommended to be following a Gelli Plate based query. Not only does she do the most amazing image transfers, but her rust papers and collages are also awe-inspiring. I hope to take one of her classes in the future but for now, one of her journals is top of my list.
So there were just a few of this months favourite pieces - what have you purchased from Etsy recently?
