Here is a peek into the fun process of our electroplated/electroformed jewelry designs! We just love using leaves, acorns, seeds, crystals, pine cones, and other natural materials. We have so many new ideas to integrate natural and sculptural elements together to create unique one of a kind pieces. What is electroplating/electroforming? Electroforming is when a non metal object is formed into metal. Electroplating is when a metal object is plated over with metal. (for example, a copper electroformed leaf that was then plated over with silver) enchantedleaves.com/pages/adventures-in-electroplating

Every couple of weeks or so, someone contacts me to enquire about the materials and techniques I use in my textiles pieces. So, I thought it might be easier to share some information here to answer the questions I am asked the most. I rarely use anything other than natural fibres and fabrics because of the potential to dye them, my favourites are linen threads, because of their strength and texture and the way they hold their shape. I love fine crochet cotton and adore vintage finds, I particularly enjoy recycling old textiles. I am very process driven, I love the act of making and am happy to let pieces evolve depending on the materials and techniques I want to use at any given time. Most of my textiles work is very small, I guess that echoes the scale I use in my jewellery. I particularly enjoy repetitive constructed textiles techniques such as crochet and weave, because of the rhythm and pace they encourage. Building up surface texture using hand stitch gives the same feeling of being calm, focused and absorbed in the moment. I make jewellery as well as textiles pieces because of my enjoyment of the techniques and potential they offer. Metals give the opportunity to experiment with form and structure, as well as clean lines and repeated shapes. I enjoy the contrast of smooth surfaces, cut edges and manipulating positive and negative space that forming metal allows. Combining wire and fabric lets me add structure and manipulate surface qualities as well as explore my fascination with rust. The overriding themes in all my work encompass growth and decay, from the repetitive forms in the growth patterns of moss and lichen, to the effects of erosion, seen in the formation of pebbles and the way salt corrodes metal to form rust. I am drawn to small details, both my jewellery and textiles pieces are inspired by shapes and patterns seen in nature, especially delicate, fragile and unassuming things. I take photographs all the time, collect inspirational objects wherever I go and absolutely love to draw. My ideas come from all these influences, sometimes I plan pieces before I make, but my favourites are the ones that grow organically as I go along.

Inka dungarees are a simple everyday staple and a perfect addition to your wardrobe. Description Beautifully made rust-coloured cotton dungarees with a patterned turn up detail. Just the right shape to keep you comfy and stylish. They feature tie straps to help you adjust the length of the bib to fit your body perfectly. These dungarees come in one size (UK 6 - 14) Care and Materials 100% natural cotton The clothing is stitched in India by a small family run business that Jo knows personally. She visits India to visit the family when she can, and regularly video chats with them to check in. This leaves her with every reassurance that all appropriate standards are being met. Due to the raw nature of the fabric and dyes, it is best to hand wash this garment in cold water to reduce the chance of shrinkage and damage. Natural fabrics that are woven from cotton, wool and flax will embrace their natural compositions. You may see flecks of white flax for example and the material will soften and beautifully 'patina' with age. Care Note from Prior Natural dye on natural fabric can sometimes have an uneven colour. This is due to the natural elements of all the ingredients, the natural oils, and unbleached surfaces. We choose to stock only naturally dyed fabric because it’s better for people and the planet. We quite like the unique variations that occur in each garment and how the material softens and ‘patinas’ over time. To keep your item looking its best, please make sure you do the following (just to be on the safe side): Hand-wash with cold/lukewarm water and ecological soap, as it’s kinder to the fabric. Wash colours separately. Do not tumble dry. Do not leave in the sun to dry, as the sun will bleach the fabric and highlight ‘uneven’ patches. Creases in natural fabrics fall out if the garment is hung. If ironing, please place a sheet between the garment and the iron. Features Slouchy style Comfy for exploring Will wear well and look better with age! Shop local 🧡 Did you know that Prior is a sustainable shop?

Our ingredients were chosen to give you fresh breath and a white smile, but be clean through and through. Bentonite Clay This multipurpose powder—made from volcanic ash that's been aged in prehistoric sea beds—has been blowing up, rightly so. It's rich in minerals, including magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The real benefit of bentonite clay is that it is abrasive enough to remove the plaque but not so much so that it will do damage to your enamel. Bentonite clay is one of our key ingredients in Klen products to help you fight off bacteria Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract There are more than 300 species of the aloe plant, but Aloe Barbadensis (aka aloe vera) is the best known and is prized in the health and beauty worlds for its healing properties.

Their healing power comes from eucalyptus oil, which is made from the tree’s oval-shaped leaves. Eucalyptus keeps your gums and teeth strong by driving away bacteria that leads to tooth decay and gum disease. After using eucalyptus oil, people often claim their mouth feels cleaner and breath tastes fresher and seriously who doesn't want that? Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract Green tea is made from leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant, which are plucked and immediately cooked to preserve nutrients and prevent oxidation. As a result, green tea has a high concentration of antioxidants. We love it because it helps prevent cavities, eliminates bad breath, fights off infections and viruses, and reduces gum inflammation.

The scent of this wild mint is very strong and is often used in the same way as Peppermint Essential Oil. Cornmint Essential Oil is used to flavor our toothpaste. It has antiseptic and antibacterial properties that can be used as a remedy for swollen gums, mouth ulcers, and toothache. Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil Spearmint Essential Oil is obtained from the bright green Mentha spicata herb, and its name is derived from the fact that it has pointed, spear-shaped leaves. it does more than freshen your breath — it also has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which may help kill the bacteria in your mouth that cause bad breath.
