Thank you for the assorted kind words on the blog, they’re much appreciated.

Hi Boo!
I love the blog, your pieces are so beautiful! I can see that a lot of work and love goes into each item.
I actually recently started to make jewellery as a hobby myself and was wanting to ask for a cheeky tip – would you possibly be able to tell me where you source your copper from?
I am having real trouble with this, though I have managed to find a small selection of copper wire I am hoping to find some chain and possibly sheet?
I would really appreciate any advice
Thanks, xx

This is a really good piece of writing. Excellent idea to explain to customers just how much work there is in their bracelets etc. I am just about to embark on a complicated linked bracelet for someone and your pointers about catches are most helpful.

I love process posts of WIP!
Great work & your photographs of your finished pieces are spectacular.
And it's so true, a lot of people don't know the amount of work that goes into 100% handmade pieces.

It is absolutely fascinating to see the whole process you use – and I love the design of your clasps and the way they are an integral part of each bracelet.

Hey gorgeous! Have to say congratulations, these pieces are stunning and, for me nostalgic! The first photo is almost an exact match (minus the toggle claps) of a Sterling Silver one I had for my 18th! I LOVED it, I think it was because the size of the links were like nothing else at that time...I was gutted when it came to the end of it's life!

Well done gorgeous :o)

hugs
