Custom Order

 So here is the final necklace I mentioned in my previous entry! Finally finished. I do wish I had more time to perfect it as this is a design I literally thought up and make in around a day! I've made it the same way as the postage stamp brooches but mounted it on a copper bezel to add weight and a bit of bling! I also sent them a free postage stamp brooch as a thanks for getting me out of my creative hiatus!!
I also bought an awesome set of collectable stamps that I'm making into lovely things to wear! I am in love with the octopus! I'm trying a new resin though so hopefully it'll work! These stamps are too good for posting.

Creative Hiatus No More

So, its been 2 month(ish) since uni finished and I've been the most uncreative EVER..... But after a chance order via Twitter I am back from my creative hiatus.
I'm making a lovely necklace in the style of my postage stamp brooches, the order was very specific as the stamp HAD to be from Mexico and he needs it to be delivered by Wednesday.... the tight deadline is a slight inconvenience but at the same time it's really good. It's giving me the kick up the arse I needed to get on with my creative business. Jobs in Stoke on Trent are few and far between and even with a degree it's stupidly competitive, so for now I need to realise that I'm in a good position. A part time job to pay the bills and the free time to continue with my own creative endeavours.
Now, the resin is almost dry so I must get my order finished!!
Anyone else want something made I am MORE than happy to comply!
