Pogs

"Pogs"

I wanted to write this section as a way of telling everyone about my inspirations for all my different designs. My latest additions are my “pogs”, which is a word I use to describe random things that I couldn’t find a name for and for some reason when I made the first “pog” it seemed a perfect match. I designed and made the first one with my niece Chloe during the Summer holidays in Melbourne, Australia. We found one of my old dresses, got some paper and whipped out the sewing machine. The first “pog” was born… We named her Rosie, due to her material. Having shown my friends (who I try everything out on) loved her and so I decided to make more. I found bamboo filler and recycled bottle felt and was very happy that I could make a “green” friendly soft creature. It is nice to mix up which designs I work on and I really do go through different stages, one week I find pendant design inspirations and then the next I will be playing with fabric. I like to keep it interesting…
