“Granny Would Be Proud” is the bestest Vintage & Crafts event in THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD (Glasgow…west end…okay, Vinecombe St -I think that’s a claim I can safely make, but it IS awesome).
“Small but perfectly formed vintage and craft fair, followed by down to earth fashion and craft lovers, enough love for all, from Punks to Goths, Retro to Indie. Smiley sellers guaranteed, very affordable (nothing over £50), retro and games tea room.”
. . . .
GWBP has made a cosy wee home in the Hillhead Bookclub and SpoiltPig is thrilled to be part of the furniture now and exhibiting at the fair again THIS SUNDAY 15th August 2010.
Please do stop by. Come check out the all the unique, handmade designer wares and vintage and retro fashions….you may even like to pick yourself(me) up a gramophone filled with delicious cocktails(true story, they really do have gramophones filled with booze)!
SEE YOU THERE
EDIT: Yes, we’re still on for Sunday…but i forgot to mention that the delightful Bunny from “Bunny and The Misshapes” is swapping the microphone for ‘making’ this weekend and will be joining me at the table with her own unique collection of re-worked vintage pieces and beaded jewellery. Exciting!

Yesterday was my birthday!
Amongst other things, I got a couple of amazing Spoilt Piggy themed presents :D
Pig card altered with a Twilight reference! (that’s right, I LIKE TWILIGHT) ^_^
and…
THE CUTEST effing brooch, made for me by my friend Jay:
Look at him stuffing his wee face!
We have to convince her to get a website together SOON, in the meantime though she’ll be coming along with me to Granny Would Be Proud in Glasgow so stop past on the day for a peek at the other amazing acrylic, silver and resin things she makes.
Anyway, I had a lovely day yesterday. Received lots and lots of lovely birthday messages, had a nice dinner, drinks and finally saw Eclipse! Speaking of Twilight again…
My birthday present to myself was this t-shirt
because my friends are just too cool to get me anything so tragically ‘Pop’.
I wonder what I’d do if I ever had to choose between the two Edwards…

Did I ever share my final college exhibition piece? I think not so here it is!

I’m not quite sure what it is…a painting? mixed media collage? I couldn’t stop adding things to it…embroidery, bows, applique and experimented with a million different pens, pencils, oils and acrylics. And then if that wasn’t enough, I snipped little hearts out from the original canvas and transformed them into little wearable pieces of art, six necklaces in total.
For those new to the blog, I’ve just completed an Art & Design portfolio course at Aberdeen College, having only discovered my interest in the subject in the last year or so and this is my first finished piece!
My talents definitely lean more towards 3-D and practical, making skills but I’m still pleased with it :) and after seeing the Dundee College exhibition, I’m pretty confident I’ve picked the best place for developing my drawing and painting skills after summer (and thankfully they let me in!).

Uh-oh, someone forgot to update her website with all of this months events :( The Facebook page has been really busy though so make sure you’re a fan to get all the important updates in future!
Anyway…So, I blogged before about preparations for the Aberdeen College Fashion show and now it’s all over! The clothes were fab, the wine was plentiful and SpoiltPig Jewellery got a great showing off on the runway.
See more shots from the night on Flickr and in the Facebook Album.
