Designer Spotlight- Moments by Martha

Becci has always loved making things whether it is baking, sewing or jewellery.

Becci’s stunning jewellery incorporates a wonderful range of gemstones and wooden shape. These are complimented with a range of metals including sterling silver.

‘Most of my jewellery is one of a kind... I tend to make what I think would best suit the stones that I have. I love cubes, and the sharper lines that, when included in pieces, get softened by the appearance of the whole item. I love shiny and matte beads, and have recently delved into metals other than silver.’

Waiting For We Make Christmas:
For We Make Christmas Becci will be bringing some of her best selling pieces, including her two square earrings with red sponge coral. The first ever pair of these were actually sold at We Make in June.

Designer Spotlight- Half an Acre

Anna has a passion for colour. Her work is very distinctive. Her hand painted wooden artwork will brighten up any room. They make wonderful gifts for every occasion. Colour and pattern is what inspires Anna, layers of colour and bold designs. Anna loves creating her bunches of fish.

‘When a bunch of fish comes together they are my favourites! I don't plan the designs first so two of the fish might be great then I have a design breakdown over the third!’

Waiting For We Make Christmas:
Anna will be treating everyone to a wonderful selection of her favourite and best selling items. Including her bunches of fish and her lizards.

For We Make Christmas Half An Acre is also working on a beautiful range of Christmas decorations. With red hearts and white and gold spots. They are in keeping with Anna’s style but very festive too.

Designer Spotlight- Sheepshape Spinning

Looking through Elizabeth’s shop is every knitter's dream. She enjoys knitting, crocheting and dyeing but her main love is spinning.

‘The instant that I spun that first spindle I knew that I was hooked.’

Elizabeth uses a Kromski Sonata folding spinning wheel and a Woolee Winder flyer assembly. All of her yarns are hand spun and/or hand dyed making them soft and in a wonderful range of colours. She hand dyes commercial sock yarn, which can be used for socks, toys or baby clothes, and also creates handspun yarns suitable for a variety of uses.

Waiting For We Make Christmas?

Elizabeth is currently working on some tiny knitted sheep which are small enough to fit into your palm. She is also making unique glow-in-the dark bears, cats, and rabbits by combining special glow-in-the-dark wool with her own handspun wool.

‘The animals glow for hours after exposure to light and everyone who has seen them absolutely loves them.’
