Spotlight on… None of the Above, plus a new idea in progress

Spotlight on… Corrina Smith

Preparing objects for embedding in resin

Interview with… LEJ Jewellery
LEJ Jewellery is Jo- though I’m not sure what LEJ actually stands for or symbolises- it’s a mystery! I particularly like the combinations of colour that Jo uses in her work as well as her eye for great beads! Who are you and where...
An idea…
Can you tell what it is? I had a query through Etsy today and it got me thinking- I could offer J-hoop style earrings very easily, so I will be having a play with these and see whether the sketch can transform into reality! Also I have picked 3 peopl...
Spotlight on… Carol’s Crafts
I was flicking through the new sellers section on Folksy and found lots of lovely polymer clay items, and then discovered they were by the same person! Carol’s shop (http://carolscrafts.folksy.com) features polymer clay buttons, brooches and je...

I stumbled across http://recycledrings.etsy.com today when looking for items for my latest treasury. The items didn’t fit my selected theme, but I was taken by the necklaces made from real walnut shells so much so that I had to share them with ...
