Don't Mess with Texas

Especially now that Jessica from San Antonio has a Kristen Pendant. It always amazes me when someone from the other side of the world sees something I've made and wants one. The internet has allowed me to sell my wares to country NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Canada, New Zealand, London and now the USA. That blows me away!

HOMESPUN Magazine

How exciting is this?! Australian Homespun Magazine has done a spread on Matryoshka Doll designs and included the 'Kristen' Pendant. Also on the page (No.4) is the inspiration for the pendant..the beautiful fabric prints by Kristen Doran.

Store Updated

I have updated my Big Cartel store which I should have done months ago. I have had to increase the prices of my pieces because the cost of raw material has gone up quite a bit over the past year. Also because I put a lot of time into each piece and was basically making no profit. I still feel the prices are very good value considering you are getting a handmade and unique piece of jewellery.

Square Name Pendant

I made this pendant for me. I think it's a little 'busy', but I like the shape. Every name pendant is different, no two are the same. And I never quite know how it's going to look until its done.

Bracelet Charms

I have succumbed to the Pandora faze. There are lots are different brands of these bracelets and hundreds of different beads available. But, you can't buy a bead with a name on it, so I made some with my kids names. Then I made some for my friend with her kids names. Then another friend .......

Three new name pendants and a new design.

Market Stall

Well, It was a pretty quiet day at the school fair, but I was happy with my display and I didn't forget anything, so now I'm ready to do some more markets.
