Etsy Love - Treetrunks

Well, it's been a little while since I've been able to focus on the blog properly. Thankfully most of my deadlines are over now (except for one dreaded essay!) so I can spend some more time aimlessly searching Etsy.

Lets kick off this week with some Treetrunks love, cause this lil elephant will always have a special place in my heart. And now I'm craving apple pie!

Avocados are Amazing - an Etsy Treasury

As most of you probably know, I'm a bit of an avocado addict. I hardly ever go a day without eating half an avocado. Me and my bestie love avocados so much that she made her own avocado skirt and a matching avocado bag for me.

So, I decided it's time I combine my avocado addiction with my love of Etsy and create an avocado based treasury. It's amazing how many quality avocado themed items I found on Etsy, it was hard to narrow it down to 9 of my favs.

1. Paradise Beads / 2. Harp & Thistle / 3. Undercover Quilts / 4. Jewellery L and MM / 5. fwirl / 6. Hair by Creation / 7. Celentano Woodworks  / 8. Godivas Jewelry Box / 9. show me your nails

A big thank you to Claire from Dreams Are Necessary for suggesting the Avocado Nail stickers! I blame Claire if I spend all my money on Avocado themed Etsy goodies.

Gothic Bunnies Hi Tops

This is my one of my latest sets of custom Hi tops. I LOVE doing hi tops, I wish I could do more of them.

The theme the customer gave me was neon green, black, white & gothic bunnies. Which I thought was a kick ass theme for a pair of shoes! I loved doing these, especially the bunny pattern, I'm thinking of turning that into a material pattern. I decided to add a bit of purple and pink to compliment the green.

If you'd like your own custom shoes, email me at ponychopsshop@gmail.com

And a quick WIP shot, I need to get into the habit of taking more work in progress photos.

Dreaming of Christmas

I never really seem to get dressed up for Christmas day. I like to be comfortable and able to pig out as much as I want! I tend to stick to leggings and a long shirt and a cardigan. While browsing Modcloth I found my dream cardigan, so I styled my own outfit around it. So far on this list I know I absolutely need the shoes and the cardi! I'm a little bit/a lot in love with the golden owl print top too.

Dinos & Mustaches

A couple of weeks ago a customer asked me to paint her some Dinosaur Russian Dolls with mustaches on (pics of that still to come).

I thought this was an awesome idea. So I based an etsy treasury around it.

1. Dinosaur Hat (sizes newborn to adult) - $27.50 from Barefoot Tams
2. Mustache Vinyl Stickers - $12 from Quilted Polka Dot
3. Plush Stuffed Dinosaur $20 from Saint Angel

8. Photobooth Party Props - $65 from Mister Mustache

Custom Zeldas

Last week I did some custom Zelda fan art brogues. These have proved really popular on Tumblr and I'm really pleased with how they turned out :)

Absolutely LOVING the make up from Vivienne Westwood's Red Label Spring/Summer 2012 catwalk show. Click here for more photos of the show.
