Hype on King!

I will be part of this festival along with lots of other great local artistans and musicians. It will be second life designs' first appearance at an art/craft show and I'm really looking forward to it! If you don't have plans the first weekend of September mark this on your calendar! Closer to the date I will give you a sneak preview of some of the new items I will be taking with me!

I got involved after hearing about The Reclaimed Craft Market http://reclaimedcraft.wordpress.com/ put on by the ladies of http://imadeitshop.wordpress.com/. There are so many cool crafty people out there!

My first ever post!






















Hello!

My name is Pamela, owner/creator/designer of second life designs. This new little business venture is the result of my obsession with fashion and vintage, and my concerns over social and environmental issues all colliding into one thing. second life designs specializes in hand made (by me) one-of-kind items by upcycling, reconstrucing and screen printing. I use salvaged, used and natural materials as much as possible. I also have a pet budgie, Lemon, and bunny rabbit, Pierre, who keep me company while I work.

I've started a blog to keep some people (hopefully) updated on what I've been up to, show off some new work and announce upcoming events where I will be selling some things. This is my first time blogging so please be nice and hopefully once I get used writing these it will be less "dear diary" like (unfortunately, I was never good at keeping a diary and would always rip up the pages whenever I re-read it).

Anyway, the photos above are some of my "new" vintage purses and wallets. All are screen printed by hand with my own designs. These items are all now for sale at From Mars, a really great store in London, Ontario (347 Talbot St). Hope you enjoyed the post!
