Taarna's knick-knacks

Taarna's knick-knacks Handmade items loved by our planet! Follow for unique gifts and home decor, but also for tips on how to live more green All of this is done by hand.

My name is Jelena and I am the owner of this fabulous little shop. What started back in 2015 with coasters of my favourite video games and films, continued with different creative projects like clay bowl, knitting and even DIY furniture upcycling. Every single step of it. Coasters:
The tiles are cleaned and hand-cut to size. The sharp edges are sanded down so there is no risk of hurting yourself.

The images are transferred to the tiles and then lacquered. Once they dry off, the cork is hand-cut to size and attached to the bottom of the tile to protect your furniture. Knitting:
This is my new project and new favourite pass time. I am self taught and enjoy looking up new patterns to try out. Also, there is so much pretty wool out there! Clay bowls/dishes:
This is my autumn hobby. I use fallen leaves and imprint them onto clay to make dishes or bowls. Once dried, I hand paint them in autumn colours for that perfect cosy feeling of your home. Caring for the environment:
All the coasters are made from old tiles left in garages, sheds, loft and some even by the bins. I take those tiles and give them a new life, a creative life away from landfills. All orders are sent in eco-friendly packaging! Envelopes are made from recycled paper and any boxes used are the ones I got my own orders in. Smaller items are packaged in pillow boxes I made out of old maps. I do use bubble wrap to secure your coasters BUT it is bubble wrap leftover from moving house or one I got with my Internet orders.

Happy birthday to Frida Kahlo, a Mexican painter pouring her pain and love for her culture into unique works of art ❤️

Oh and a well known communist who added Leo Trotsky as another notch to her bedpost ✊🏼

Viva!

This Saturday is the first market of the year.
I had grand plans on using this 3 month hiatus to crochet loads of cool new amigurumi and coasters.

Of course I bloody didn't 😂 Life came in the way. I was made redundant and then decided to do an art trip to Vienna and doss for 2 weeks in Croatia with The Child.

I did make a few cool new things so come and check them out!
