Speed Jewellery Making and other news

Not blogged for a while because a lot has been happening. I applied for the post of Guest Designer on Jewellery Maker TV and was lucky enough to get to the screen test stage. The weeks before I was slightly stressed, practising making jewellery so that I would be ready. The day came, and I travelled down the day before so that I was rested. I had to make as much jewellery as I could in 4 hours, have an interview and a screen test. Unfortunately, I did not get the job, as there were many talented designers there, and I look forward to seeing what they come up with on screen.

One of the best things to come out of the experience, well, apart from the JM shop which was well worth the visit alone, was to meet fellow jewellery makers. I made quite a few new friends. Jewellery making can be a solitary thing, and its always good to chat to others who have similar hobbies. The jewellery I made on the day is at the bottom of this blog. I have decided not to sell it, but to keep it all for myself. However, if you would like something similar please contact me.



In other news, I am now a published writer. My work is featured on page 19 of '101 ways to stitch create and craft vintage' book that was out last month.
