Preparing for next craft fair

First today I'd like to say thank you to all the people who came to Falstone Christmas fair. You raised loads of money for the north air ambulance and I really enjoyed myself meeting you all and selling my jewellery. Also helpful was the feed back I got from you which was really helpful. One last thank you has to go to my brilliant fiancé who stuck with me throughout the fair and helped to sell a few things.

With the success at Falstone I've decided to do another fair, this time Kielder Christmas market at Kielder castle. It promises to be a lot busier and this time is set over 2 days, the 7th and 8th December.

Until then don't forget you can still find fashion magpie jewellery at folksy.com/shops/fashionmagpiejewellery  

Craft fair

Hi, hope your all well.

First thing I want to tell you about today is I've booked to do a craft fair. It's on the 29th October at falstone community hall in Northumberland near kielder water. If you fancy coming along, I recommend putting in for the raffle as all the proceeds go toward the north air ambulance helicopter.

The second thing I want to tell you about is all the lovely new pieces I've made lately. Unfortunately I can't show you pictures, for some reason the app version of blogger doesn't let me attach pictures but on the plus side I've put everything on my Facebook page. Www.facebook.com/fashionmagpiejewellery 

There'll be loads more new pieces too on the lead up to the craft fair.

Remember if you'd like to come meet me the date you need to remember is 29th October and the place is Falstone community hall.

More jewel enamel

So excited. Just purchased by jewel enamel kit, got the melting pot and molds/ bezels off ebay and the jewel enamel powders from crafty notions.

Soo looking forward to it arriving. Will have a play with it then post my findings on here.

Jewel enamel

Came across a new way of making jewellery today and have spent the rest of the day excitedly trying to find out more about. It's called jewel enamel.
I've attached an You Tube video for you to watch, it's better if you fast forward the sales pitch at the beginning of the video because then you can dive straight into learning about this brilliant and beautiful way of making jewellery.

Another video I found that might be of interest is how to make pendants for necklaces and earrings from the same jewel enamel technique.

Hope you enjoy watching these two videos and feel as excited as I do to try this easy way of making jewellery. Happy viewing

New project

I've decided I want to add something new to my collection of jewellery I make for fashion magpie jewellery. Something for the men in our lives, I want to make cufflinks.

Decided what I will do is look out for some wholesale bulk buys of blank cufflinks, from there I'll make the faces of the cufflinks. Over the years I've seen some really imaginative designs such as glueing Lego men to them. I've been giving it some thought and I think I'll try maybe using beer bottle lids squashed down, as one idea. Another idea is to make a range for grooms and best men. 

Of course all of these ideas are still in the idea process so far but watch this space...
