PictureSome Stock from Inky Fox Shop.
As usual all dolls are juggling creative tasks, with life and ALL the admin needed.

Dulcie, had an inspiring time in London as part of her degree course, a whole week submerged in Art history - bliss.

Jenni has been living and breathing Inky Fox.(Jamila and Dulcie, and of course Jenni have their creations on sale there).

Jamila's work from the Charity Coffee culture exhibition in London is now over. She is working on an Arts for Health drawing project, upcycling stuff to save cash, the environment and the opportunity to say, "I made it" when people ask where she bought her brooch, necklace etc. Jamila has also been doing lots of drawing, and helping Jenni with Inky Fox marketing, helping or hindering, I'm not sure, he he he :)

Howdy Craft bunnies,

So much to tell you.....


Our first Craft fayre, went very well, lots of hard work, but the venue looked great and  we had lots of VERY positive feedback from stall holders and visitors. Jenni took the lead on this, as she has always wanted to host a fayre. We wanted it to be a fayre that we would like to attend, activities, competitions etc, varied and all handmade work, and it was!! 

So that's done and you never know we may well host another one.......

We did our fist Artist talk for the lovely ladies of Church Stretton WI- Marmaladies, followed by a Craft taster session. The talk was on the Arts and Craft movement and doing the research for that was most interesting.

Dulcie is still working hard, painting and studying for her University course.

Jenni is about to open her first ever Art and Craft shop in Coalport, the John Rose Studios, Ironbridge, it's called Inky Fox How exciting!!

Jamila is focusing on her Arts for Health projects, Elixir Arts and has had a few exhibitions (Photography as well as illustration) in the big smoke London of late, as well as workshops, commissions and lots of admin. 

All in all a busy, creative and fun times for Hey Doll! (as ever prepping and planning Craft parties and events).

Thanks for reading, :)

They had a gorgeous 1920's pink and black theme and made some incredible corsages and fascinators which were worn on the night out!

Below are some images of the yummy bannoffee and victoria sponge cakes and the Fascinators being worked on!

Are you looking for a themed vintage Hen or Birthday party in or around Shropshire / the Midlands then contact us to discuss your plans.

Hello fellow craft fans,

We are currently revamping our website, we loved our old one, but it took too long to load, so bear with us.

Can you hear jingle bells in the distance? Well neither can we but we are none the less beavering away prepping and planning Christmas workshops.....sorry we know it's only August. 

Jenni will be running 2 sessions on the same day (she is hardcore) at the Trinity centre, Shrewsbury, really lovely space and helpful staff. See Workshops page. Jamila and possibly Dulcie will be also running a Christmas workshop in early December, in Shrewsbury more details when we are all sorted.

We want to support our Arty pals too, so tell us about your events, exhibitions fayres etc.

Got some Hen Parties coming up too, which we are very much looking forward to.
Doll, Jamila is currently part of a touring exhibition with the Photographic angle and has a piece in the 'Lights Camera Action' exhibition at the Public, West Bromwich.

Jenni has also been updating her own website and Dulcie started a new job, she is a busy bee. Jamila is prepping for her Upcycling course at the Qube Gallery, Oswestry in October, 5 weeks, Wednesday afternoons.

Here is a picture of some bunting cos we seem to have a unquenchable desire to make bunting, fabric, paper, laminated, sew, no sew....etc etc.

And our our old logo, which Jamila illustrated way back in March 2012, so you can get a lil idea of what we look like, perhaps we should get a good photograph of us all together?

Hey Doll! meeting later, in a pub, good idea or no?? Will be lovely to have a cheeky crafty catch up.
