So have made 3 men rings ........... I was asked by a gallery in Devizes if I did any rings for men, they were looking for something that was defintitely handmade and for men so I came up with these 3. The wrap ring I have made for a long time and have made a few for men over the years but the other 2 are new .... quite inoffensive but definitely handmade so I am hoping they like them ..... if interested email me your ring size. Everything is sterling silver ......

Coincidentally, I saw this article on men's bangles ..... will have to come up with some new designs now .......

Have decided to make a Dali bangle to match the ring .... can't think why I haven't done one sooner ..... simple design and looks great in silver ......

Went for a run yesterday and had that 'tall' feeling again!

Did lots of pancakes last night, sweet and savoury ...... have given up chocolate and alcohol for Lent!! Lets see how long that lasts ...........

Finally some bangles to match the rings .... have made the earrings but not got to the pendant yet!

Have my interview tomorrow at the University of Cumbria so I am preparing some jewellery to take with me ..... and I am finally getting round to doing my accounts .... again ..... managed to put it off for 2 weeks now ........ so todays the day.

Paperwork day today..... have a ring and some earrings to make for customers this week ....... didn't win the lottery on Saturday so will have to keep working.

New range almost finished, just a simple hammered range, highly polished and oxidised, ring and bangle finished, just working on the pendant and earrings .........

Lovin the snow and sun today .....

New BIG ring ..... sterling silver ..... this one is oxidised but doesn't have to be ......... its on the website www.thejewelleryroom.co.uk

In the process of making more new designs ..... I am designing and making some pendants which I wil put on bead necklaces rather than chains ....... just learning the intricacies of beading at the moment!

Have signed up to do The Art Market in the Westmoreland Shopping Centre in Kendal this July ..... a new one but hopefully a good place and time ..............

Wednesday 12 November 2008

Going to drop off some jewellery today, had some re-orders from Arteria which is good ........ trying to come up with a 'credit crunch' range to suit a budget in time for Christmas which is easy for earrings but pendants/rings/bangles are more difficult ...... had too much rain over the last few days but we have remained surprisingly free of water around the house ...... going for a quick ride this morning on my bike before I start work!

31 August 2008

Last day of the month and its ....... raining .......... had a good week, designed and sorted my stand for the exhibition so feel far more secure about things now ....... getting no sleep though but think that is down to running! Have slept like a baby over the summer when I gave up running but now I am back to pounding the lanes I have started to sleep badly .... must look further into this. I am only running for September, there is a 10km on 28th in Preston so after that I will stop then I can see if its the running ...... think the girls are sorted for back to school .... stationery, uniform etc etc ........ went to Leeds last week shopping but bit disappointed ..... did some oxidising on silver jewellery pieces, pleased with the results, see pics ....
