DaisiesAreOurSilver's Profile

Bio

Well now -

I'm Sharon. I live in South East London, with my partner and our two kids, our two cats and a Yorkshire Terrier with buck teeth called Jim. The dog's name is Jim, it's not a separate name for his teeth.

I like sitting in the garden looking at my bits of wildy plants and my frog pond, and when I'm there I know I'm near the divine heart of things.

I think the simple things in life are what it's all about, like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, or vice versa.

I enjoy making new things out of old stuff, and I like to make little things out of fimo, and to draw silly pictures. I also like to have a cup of tea and eat cakes, but that isn't relevant right now.

If you are looking for perfect, immaculately finished things, then I must bid you a fond farewell before showing you out of my shop and into one of the many mighty milliards of places where such things are manufactured. My stuff is handmade by me, and looks handmade. I adore it, I love each piece to distraction, I only feel like me when I'm making it. But it none of it is perfect. I'm not bionic, despite that poyoyoying noise I make when I move very slowly up the street. That's something that possibly requires ointment, I'm not sure.

Alas, my little sculptures and pins ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR SMALL CHILDREN due to small parts and fragility and those kinds of considerations -

( - mini dudes and dudettes having that well-known desire to push small fimo cats up their nostril or suck lovingly on a little oblong of varnished wood.)

This of course is also true for all you crazy grown ups who insist on doing these things too.

ANYWAYS - I hope you'll see something in my shop that would just make you feel happy, and remind you that daisies are our silver, buttercups our gold.
