If you would like to discuss a commission to make something unique & personal (card or gift) please message - I love making your ideas a reality!
Newspapers may seem black & white and full of bad news but hand spinning the paper into yarn reveals hidden colours and the words are given new life. Good news from bad, new stories from old ones - why not make this little piece of good news from bad, a piece of your story now?
This is a custom-made item and cannot be returned unless faulty.

Full description
Is there a special message you want to send someone in a greetings card, but just can't seem to find the right card for it?
I'd be thrilled to work with you to make it a reality whether you have a solid idea of your desired design or not!
Please have a look around at the various card designs available to see what is possible and then get in touch to discuss your special eco-friendly, handspun newspaper yarn card.....I am more than happy to provide ideas and inspiration based on what you tell me about the person and the occasion or message.
"Goodnewsfrombad" is all about recovery, hope and transforming old stories (particularly difficult bad news stories) into new ones.
The newspaper yarn I make is carefully handspun from hand cut, thin strips of newspaper. I have tried spindles/shredders, but I find that using my fingers helps keep the yarn fine as possible as well as allowing me more control over the colours and textures produced.
I also think there is something important about knowing the newspaper has physically passed through the hands of the maker, which transforms the bad news stories and makes them a part of your stories as you send them to your friends and family.
Do leave some time for us to chat about what design would work and time for me to make the design before it needs to be posted out to you. Depending on how simple the design, the quicker I can turn it around for you.
