Funkywombatdesigns is a small craft business making and selling bags, banners and accessories from a variety of both new and upcycled fabrics. I (Maia Rees or the funkywombat!) started crafting about 15 years ago and the items I made then have evolved into the bags and the banners that you see today. Based in sunny Somerset all the items you see are handmade, unique and I hope fun, funky and eye catching. The banners can be made to order and no two bags will ever be the same!

I live in Bristol and have always had a passion for interiors & crafting. I opened my Etsy shop just over a year ago where I sell my pillows which are all made from vintage fabrics mainly dating from the 60s/70s and mixed with modern organic fabric. When I'm not making my pillows I have a coffee & crepe business which I take to music festivals.
I'm Emily aka Glass by Emily. I am a busy mother of 3,4 if you include my husband. I am often found in my little studio designing/illustrating and making my fused glass. I am extremely lucky to live in North Somerset and get my inspiration from the country side and shore line. I then get the pleasure of sharing my love of glass with people like you, who in turn share it with there friends and love ones.
I make a lot of imaginary 2D and 3D characters and landscapes for them to live within. My work is mainly based in drawing and making. I have recently also started making handmade jewellery using some found images as well as my own drawings. I have since September 2012 been a member of the lovely Blaze Studio & Shop on Colston Street.

Every piece of the Jenn Wills Jewellery is hand-made. Working from Central Bristol's Centrespace Studios, the copper is hand-sawn or guillotined into shape. It is then soldered, drilled and hammered depending on the design. The main sections of each piece of jewellery is put through 3 separate chemical processes, again, depending on the coloured finish set to be achieved. The turquoise or green finish is achieved by leaving pieces of copper in ammonia and sawdust for a few days. This creates an ageing of the copper which is known as a patina or verdigris. The pink or orange finish is achieved by coating the copper in flux and heating the copper until it glows cherry pink. When the flux burns off it leaves the copper with speckled colouring. The darker pieces have been left in a solution called Liver of Sulphur for literally seconds. This darkens the copper to a wood-type affect. Leave patterns have been achieved by putting the copper through a rolling mill with a leaf on top. Each section is then hand-filed and assembled using recycled copper electric wire. Each piece varies so greatly in finish to create a unique piece of jewellery every time.
