Freshly Caught Feelings Fruity Strawberry...

I love these! Taylored Curiosities is back with her second installment of the Freshly Caught Feelings series. This time instead of worrisome she came back with a cute and Fruity version. Each Fruity version includes a jam jar, artificial grass, a candy treat and the Fruity itself. Each Fruity measures 1.5" inches tall and is made of super soft red fleece, hand embroidered eyes and hand painted yellow pips. There are also 5 chase versions that are white with red hand painted pips. Each comes tagged and individually numbered and can be purchased HERE for 10 pounds each.

 

Tea Feelings by Taylored Curiosities: teacups, resin & scented plush

Penny Taylor of Taylored Curiosities shares with us Tea Feelings: combining plush, resin and vintage teacups to create these little creatures, bathing in tea, that have similar scents to their full plush counterparts.  

Each 'tea' is a mixture of clear resin, layered with natural additives like rose petals, orange slices or lavender buds and then depending on the size of the teacup, one, two or maybe even three little creatures sit inside. 

These are different from my usual work as they are collectibles and each one will be one of a kind as I treasure hunt for reject teacups that no longer belong to full sets.

The idea is that each type of 'tea' approaches a different aspect of life i.e. Tired tea has an orange scent which can help you feel more energetic and Love tea has a rose scent which makes you feel uplifted (the same as my Aromaterapy Plush).  What do you do when you have a problem? Pop the kettle on and chat it out.  These are based on a similar idea.

Those who follow my work, know how much of an over qualified tea drinker I am and these combine all the aspects that make my work 'me'.

Taylored Curiosities handmade scented plushes

Penny Taylor of Taylored Curiosities send us these images of her line of small, cute plush figures.

I design and hand make plush toys called Feelings.  Each one has a different personality and is scented to help with various problems that may affect people on an every day basis.  I have a background in Aromatherapy, Psychology and Physiological Science as well as being from a family of tailors, so combining these skills I created this line of plush, which has plenty more to come in the future.  I have had a really positive response from them so far and people are coming back to me and saying that they are in fact making a difference in their lives.
