Happy St Davids Day

Well I'm still doing a very good headless chicken impression, but I'm having a ball! And lots of ideas floating about. I got some time at my bench today and it does a soul good! Hopefully have a few new designs to photo and put up in my shop early next week :) I'll let you know when. 

So for now just want to say hope everyone had a good extra day today, and Happy St Davids day tomorrow.

Inspiration time!

Oooooh it was a long week, but a fun one! I have been working in the National Museum of Wales, running dinosaur workshops for kids, with paint and glue and feathers and string and FUN! So glad I did it! Lots of inspiration!

I love working at home and I love working for myself but I think it did me the world of good to get out and rejoin the world again for the first time in what feels like ages! I have lots of new ideas which I will hopefully be rolling out soon; so watch this space! I’ve started a few little prototype pieces and I’m all happy so far!  

I’ve also spent a bunch of time getting more stuff listed on my folksy page, working on getting all my silver and copper pieces up there, my glass and enamel are strictly one of a kind pieces so rather than sell one twice I shall be keeping them on etsy only for the next while.

As you can imagine at this stage I have many, many, folders of photos and I spent some time yesterday sporting through them and looking for the new ones to use for business cards and postcards I’m getting printed up, so here are a few of my favourite ones with my little buns as models J Enjoy!

Valentines is approaching and I'm all stocked up! ...with free post!

Ooooh I have had a super productive week and yesterday I got the light to finally photo some of it!

So drumroll please! I have 98 items on etsy now and I WILL hit the 100 by the time I call it quits tonight, I have both new designs and new products in the shape of key rings! I now have the entire zodiac done and up as pendants and you can order, either earrings, cuff links or key chains! I'm also offering Jewellery sets to save you a little more money :)

And don't forget still offering freepost up untill Valentines! Just enter the code "HAPPYVALENTINES" at the checkout!

So here is a little snippet of the huge amount of photos I took yesterday ...I topped 400!
I'd love some opinions!

Go go go!

Well I’m go go go today! Being very productive ticking things off my to do list but keep adding new ones! I started with 23 things I’ve added 10 more and only ticked off 10! That’s not a list that’s ever going to get cleared! Ahhhhh! But I’ll soldier through! Fingers crossed!

New listing gone up today, check it out and don’t forget free shipping until Valentines day! Just enter the code “HAPPYVALENTINES” at the check out to claim.

Finally I think everyone should see this video! To to try get my little buns doing this! Shouldn’t be too hard to find sheep in Wales!

I'm so happy :) ...so you guys get free post till Valentines!

As many of those who know me personally will attest, I am very easily please (easily annoyed too, but lets not go there) and today I'm very very happy on account of a decent sunny morning which allowed me to get pictures taken! Me happy! ....Also a great yin yoga class at yogafever.

So here is a few pics for people to check out, you will see a little space theme running through, I may be a little obsessed! If anything takes your fancy check out my etsy page, if it's not listed yet it will be very very soon, and you can have freepost by using the code "HAPPYVALENTINES" at the checkout.

Where is the sun!

Oh I want the sun to shine soooo much! I have lots of pretty things to take pictures off and share with the world! But taking pictures of silver in artificial light just doesn’t work! I did manage to get some pics of yesterdays enamel work though J  Would love to know what you think!

I spent the entire day at the kiln and by the end I have several pieces and a giant smile on my face! I also smelt a little strange but yay I hadn’t set anything on fire that I didn’t mean to!

I think this looks like a nebula

Happy New Year Dragons

Well I had a fantastic weekend and Happy New Year Dragons J

Very active and productive weekend. Which left me a little tired but mostly inspired to do lots of stuff today! I have a bunch of stuff ready to enamel very excited about some of it, but I’m wrecked now! So it will have to wait till the morning!

Also very excited to have my hallmarking back from the assay office so I have hallmarked pendants of lots of the constellations back in stock!

My first pair of cuff links are in the cleaner at the moment, fingers crossed, you never know exactly how it will look and if there are any scratches etc until a piece is all cleaned up! So I’m waiting with baited breath! About to make my first key rings too! So a few new lines will be coming soon J And I’m edging towards the 100 items listed in my etsy shop! Well I’m on 82 but I do have a bunch of stuff ready to go so once I get a nice sunny day J hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow.

Also the idea of a competition is brewing in my mind!

Happy New Year guys!

PS In honour of the year of the dragon and the fact that I live in Wales, here is a Treasury I put together.
