Quirky, Colourful, Reclaimed

in Accessories, Featured Crafters, Upcycled on 27/07/10


The legend goes that Katherine and Rebecca (the creatures of Honksville) first met in college where they studied art all those millions of honks years ago. Discovering they shared the same life long dream of designing and making dolls along with other curious creations to please the human race. They traveled to London to pursue their ambition. They soon found themselves lost and jobless in the city but after much idle chit chat and many many cups of tea, they came up with the idea of Honksville! EUREKA! They took some fabric to sew, ink to print and fluff for stuffing, and so the first Honksvilian was created and the rest as they say is history…

What is your source of inspiration?

The environment, charity shops, people, fabric, stuff that nobody else wants and food.



What have you made recently?

We have recently made a fabric brooch that is a play on a currently popular slogan "keep calm and carry on" our slogan is "eat spam and carry on". Just a bit of fun.





Where do you sell your crafts presently?

You can find our products through our website www.honksville.com you can also find out what stalls we have on our facebook and twitter pages.



Why are handmade crafts important to you?

Because there is a lot of time and love that is put in to something handmade, why would you want something mass produced when you can have something that's unique and often good for the environment.
