Today I tried a new skill ... bead making, using polymer clay. It was great fun and I managed to create a selection of beads with leaves, flowers, butterflies, spots, stripes and swirls. It'll be interesting to see what jewellery and crafts I can create using my new beads and how many more I'll be inspired to make! Watch this space and see ...
A new leaf!
I have lots of new leaf designs awaiting production.
This one is a customised order and the largest I've made so far.
It took about 15g of silver and is 6 centimetres from bail to tip.
Come back soon and see some more ...
Rave reviews!
From time to time it's useful to get feedback from others about my handmade items, the success of the blog and the online shop. Appraisal from other crafters and professionals is particularly helpful for a relative newbie, so it's been great to get the following feedback from my peers far and wide:
