jewellery days
« on: July 16, 2010, 10:36:56 pm »
Well I have eventually went part time at work and started to make jewellery again, as well as spending more time around the animals.

I have some pieces for sale on facebook 'Shoebox jewellery designs'  and it is getting really busy now. I can't make enough bookmarks for the girls at work.

I forgot how much i enjoyed crafting.

Heres a necklace I love to wear that I made a couple of months ago

Aha, Karen's got competition (Happy Hippy)  Well done on taking the plunge
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

I have actually made jewellery since I was a child (so a few years now) but have just decided to sell some pieces, obviously smallholders have to do what they can to pay the bills. I don't think I will be competition to anyone but it does keep me out of mischief

I'm not a jewellery wearer (can't even find my wedding ring!!).....But I love those bookmarks.  Would make ideal Christmas pressies.  How can I buy some?

Julie, you can order by sending a colour and inspiration request to rachelellis4@hotmail.com. I will make something 'bespoke' then send you a photo for approval then you can make payment through paypal or other method if you wish.

Sandy, whenyou get your dress send me photos and I can make something to suit you and your budget.

I have just done a custom made necklace for a friend that was semi precious stone which made it expensive but she was over the moon an equivelant would have cost her about 4 times as much on the high street.

On the other end of the spectrum I have made stretch bracelets from aycrilic beads for a friends daughters birthday party gifts costing about £1 each

OK I am going to be doing a bit of a batch make on bookmarks as a lot of people have expressed a wish to buy them as gifts for family for xmas. As these obviously take time to make I am going to have to get started ASAP.

If anyone wants to order they are £5 each + p&p contact me on pm or email and your desired charm (cats, butterflies, stars)

Well I have a full weekend planned making a batch of bookmarks what a hard life I lead ;D

I am also going to have to place an order for more beads and findings so if anyone wants to order for my next batch please let me know before monday when I finalise my order.

Thankyou all for your support :love:
