Sunday, 17 June 2012. Collection with most of his best known works but also some pieces I hadn't seen before including his portraits. They way he captured the Australian landscape, his use of colour and perspective is breathtaking. I, like lots of sellers, do try and use as much recycled packaging as possible when I ship. I also splashed out on a journal. Whilst I've got a little leather bound one that I keep in my bag, I wanted something a bit more substantial. This came from etsyan AriomDesigns. On the...

quisnam: March 2012

Saturday, 24 March 2012. Life's a rich tapestry . It feels weird to talk about jewelry after that but I do find that having a 'creative outlet' helps to take ones mind off things and I did want to share how I've been going with the weaving. The photo above shows a sample of the weave as it progresses. I've used leather thong green to separate my first section of fabric from the next. The great thing about cuffs is that, once you've warped the loom, they are relatively quick to weave. Talking of textiles,...

Sunday, 16 December 2012. Lucets and other things . I'm still very enamoured with the sari silk and recently bought a lucet - a two pronged fork which creates a square braid which is strong but quite flexible. There are tons of YouTube videos on how to do it, the technique dates back to Viking times apparently. I've just listed the hamsa necklace but the one above with the salt cellar has already sold. I thought I'd try a bracelet as well:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Jewelry for the wild at heart.

Wednesday, 24 July 2013. The super talented Penny has been having a very interesting discussion about pricing over on her blog. Does all this sound incredibly business like - hell yes!

Wednesday, 29 August 2012. I'm having a problem uploading photos - it's been going on for a few days now and I gather I'm not the only one judging by the number of frustrated posts on various forums. Rather than wait until the problem has been resolved (or throw my laptop at the wall) I thought I would do a quick post today and then, hopefully, post photos of latest work as soon as I can upload again. Elegant design - just for her! Thin barrel to fit a women's hand. I mean, seriously! That's the bad, now...

Friday, 30 August 2013. Thanks to everyone for being so gracious about the long gap between posts. Bonnie it's nice to see you here, I love your comments on my facebook. Page Barbara,I agree with you about factoring in commission. My husband is a sculptor and sells mostly through galleries, we are talking 40% minimum! Fair warning – I am going to go on a little bit of a rant (measured but still a bit ranty) which will probably be of no interest to anyone except etsy sellers later in this post. Eventually...

Saturday, 21 December 2013. Well not me but my blog. As most of you will have gathered I've been INCREDIBLY slack at posting on this blog so I've decided to use my Indiemade site to blog from which means less time mucking around with blogger, logging in and out etc etc. Whilst the Indiemade platform hasn't got quite as many bells and whistles as blogger you can leave comments and follow by RSS etc. My latest post is on my experiments with my new toy a microwave kiln. 23 December 2013 at 06:51.

Thursday, 20 September 2012. All this talk is spectacularly dull and makes me sound as though I'm fixated on sales and money. Not the case I promise. From bangles it's a fairly short hop to chokers, especially since I found a metal lined ice bucket in the thrift store which has proved to be an ideal choker mandrel:. Both chokers are wrapped in silk (salvaged from head scarves or clothes), metallic vintage trim and then wire wrapped. Monday, 3 September 2012. I've pulled a few things out of the shop over ...
