Happy May Day folks! It's lovely and sunny in Shoreditch today and on our way into the studio we saw a group of six little cygnets in the canal it was so sweet. So it seems fitting to be launching our very own collection of fuzzy wuzzy critters today! It's another handmade collection and another new technique we've created ourselves over the past few months after collecting lots of boxes of vintage fuzzy felt. The cute characters are Fuzzy Bunny, Fuzzy Fawn and Fuzzy Skunk and they're all available as brooches or long gold necklaces with a ding-a-ling bell.
The adorable little play things are handmade from flock decorated wood and when we'd perfected the samples we began to plan the photoshoot. I remembered one of my fave Jackie Annual covers from 1980 which involved a super cute model hugging a furry white tiger. I have a small collection of vintage stuffed toys but we needed more! So last weekend I set off on my first thrifting jaunt of the year so far. I spent all day Saturday charity shop hopping in North London (I took the tube to High Barnet and then the 263 bus down to Archway jumping off every time I saw a charity shop!) and then on Sunday we were up at the Spring chorus to go car booting. My fave finds were a 1960s dog shaped doorstop (we had to glue his eyes back on though) and some old school pink curlers - we were going for a beauty school dropout look!
We called up our bestest model friend Suki Sou to come along for a day of fun and frolics in our newly refurbished Superette photographic studio in the basement of our shop. It was our first time working with hair and make up student Rachael who'd come all the way from Somerset and she was just great! Hope you enjoy looking through our photos and if you're going to treat yourself to a fuzzy friend I hope you enjoy hanging out with him, he'll make sure you look bunny cute at all times!
