Shoegazer Haul: Fox brooch

I was lucky enough to get this sweet little fox brooch for Christmas from one of my best friends. It had been on my radar for a while but was a complete surprise when I got it as a present :) The face is made of painted polymer clay, whilst the ears and tail and corduroy and the whole thing is attached to antique-style brass setting. These were available on etsy from Helis, but the shop has since shut whilst the owner has a baby.

Lee Meszaros

These merit badges by Lee Meszaros are lovingly silk screened, painted and embroidered on cotton by hand. Different border colours can be selected and each badge comes on a cardboard backing with information about the badge. They would be perfect gifts, coming with messages ranging from "Pushing the envelope" and "Dirt Bag" to "Surviving First Love" and "Having Meat on your Bones" - there's probably something to reward everyone you know with!
You can purchase these badges here for $25 (approx £14).
