Listing, listing and more listings.

At last my etsy shop is open, and I've been frantically listing things, and tweeting about them at a hundred miles an hour.

I think I've completely under-estimated the power of twitter to promote products and listings. I highly recommend twitter if you have something you want to advertise or tell people about.

Amongst my listings are a silver Mr Owl pendant, and a black and white checkered sequin cocktail ring...

Anyway, in addition to spending ridiculous amounts of time listing, I also spotted an interesting little blog on etsy which is all about the massive Renegade Craft Fair which is held every year in Austin, Texas. Looks like an absolutely brilliant day out. Have a look here

Computer fixed and etsy up in the next few days!

Hello all. My computer has at last been fixed! I am very excited as this means I can get my etsy shop up and running in the next few days. I am also excited by the fact that my new and improved computer is working at three times the speed as it was before. Hooray. No more waiting for ten minutes for the internet and photoshop to load, and no more sore eyes from too much looking at a loading screen. Hooray indeed.

I will of course post on here when it is at last up and running!

Updates, new jewellery, and the countdown to etsy begins!

Here are a few bits to add to the collection... A little gold teacup pendant, on a brass chain and a brass locket with a hand-sequined inside.

I have also recently set up a facebook page, so I can keep friends informed of my new creative ventures, etc. So if you are passing, please feel free to join or 'like' if you so wish. Just click on the magpie feather at the top right of my blog.

I also hope to get my etsy shop up and running in the next 24 hours, (or hopefully before the weekend!) so when it is finally open, I will post on here with a link.

Thanks!

Newies ( in new colours)

I have been making most of the easter holidays, and have managed to finish off a few things on my 'unfinished' list! Here is a hand-embroidered butterfly pendant with brass chain, an Art Deco inspired necklace, and at last my dear little pendants that I bought now have somewhere to hang, as I have made use of the silver chain that I purchased from the 'i found gallery'.
I will post more creations in the coming week, so stay tuned...

Teacups, NEW colours, and an art deco button...

These new jewellery findings are from the 'i found gallery' which i mentioned in my last post, there is an original circa 1930's art deco vintage button, tiny gold teacups, a brass locket, and some lovely 'aged' silver chain. I'm sure all these bits and pieces will result in some interesting jewellery creations soon...

And I have also conjured up a nice spring-like colourway for my next lot of accessory ideas... I especially like the combination of ocre and grey. mmm...

Monday...

This weekend, I happened to find an amazing website/online shop which sells the biggest array of vintage jewellery findings I think i've ever seen. It's called the 'i found gallery', and there's everything from oxidized silver necklace chain to art deco buttons and ornate stamps. The shipping is a little expensive, but I haven't found anywhere else that sells such an extensive range... Take a look here

And also, these are the new additions to my accessories collection which will be on etsy in a few weeks time...

Black and white checkered sequin ring
Gold and silver sequin ring
Black and white checkered sequin earrings
Black and white sequin buttons
Black sequin earrings
Pink and Rainbow sequin buttons
Gold and silver sequin buttons

New things...

Unintentionally, these black and white buttons turned out slightly mosaic-y. But I have a thing for monochrome at the moment, so I am going to see where this leads to... Three buttons, a ring, and counting.
