Feb fair preview: Print making heaven...
We seem to be building up teams of makers here at reetsweet who are also best friends, or shall we simply say, two for the price of one? Two other awesome ladies will be hitting us up with some handmade goodness on saturday...

Feb Fair Previews: Oldies (but goodies!)
Hello again from us!
Happy New Year, we trust you had an excellent rest over the festive period? So, January, not much fun, or glamour to it is there? Well for a bit of brightening up, we thought that throughout January we shall be posting our top picks and previews for the Feb event in Leeds on Feb 2nd.
To get us started we thought we might give your appetite for sexy craft a little tease with a look at some returning makers who have taken part before in the last 3 years who will be with us in Feb....these folk represent the very best in handmade and they epitomise what reetsweet is all about!
Bec Gilray from 'Doyoupunctuate?'
Letterpress obsessive, this lovely lady makes all manner of printed goods, cards, stationery, gift wrap, all with a unique and refeshing tone, we love her.
Sarah Fordham aka 'Magasin'
Mental crosstitcher the likes of which can either delight or confuse, (we frickin' love her humour!) she handstitches badges, earrings, cufflinks and even makes crosstitch boobies! One to watch! We love her giant crosstich brooches the best.
Kim from 'Finest Imaginary'
Has blossomed from being a part time jewellery designer in to a top class independent full time maker, an incredibly popular blogger and stationer.. there doesn't seem to be much she can't do and every event she has new ideas and seasonal items!

reetsweet june: the art of illustration with ruth jamieson
There is something magical about this lady's work, and at reetsweet we have a huge appreciation for the unusual, and for the unique...
We are absolutely delighted to be showcasing Ruth Jamieson's work at the next fair in June, Ruth is an artist and tattooist currently based in Leeds city centre, and has had a skill for drawing since a young age.
Ruth’s work is inspired by the decadent 1920’s, particularly Berlin’s vibrant Weimar period. Christopher Isherwood, The Bauhaus School of Art and the Dada movement have all influenced her creations, leaving her work with a sumptuous yet dark undertone.
Predominately using black and grey in her drawings, she has recently taken to incorporating light colour washes, reminiscent of vintage fashion illustrations. Ruth will be selling prints, bags, badges and mirrors of her artwork at Reetsweet's Summer Fair June 2nd, meanwhile, enjoy more of her work here.
