On the move

I've decided to move my blog over to my new website, please continue to read you can subscribe by RSS feed and follow me on Twitter.

Here is the link to the new address

Lots of leaves

Just finished a batch of Spiraea leaves ready for some new designs, these are all from the same plant but each one is so different from the next!

Time

Well I don't know where the time seems to go lately, there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day!

I've just recently added some new earring designs to my shop, some hammered textured hoops that catch the light lovely when they move, some little round leaf imprint studs and the cutest little textured studs which is part of my new woodland range, it's meant to look like a bark texture although I can't decide if it looks more like stone. I think this range compliments the leaves really well and I've managed to find the time to make myself a woodland ring which I'm really pleased with.

New Website!

At last my new website is up and running! Hopefully it will be much easier for me to manage as it has a contact management system built in. I think it look really stylish as well, thanks to Laurel Waldron for her help with that. There's lots of new designs in there too so I hope people enjoy having a browse through.

Press!

I've been featured in Your Maidstone page 21 and My Kings Hill this month, to do with the craft cases I have my jewellery in the Hazlitt Arts Centre in Maidstone, thanks to Patsy Dixon of Liberty Gallery.

Awards

Being part of Craft & Design magazines Selected website I am entered into their competition, one of the prizes being a feature of my business in their magazine, voting ends at the end of the month, so any votes would be much appreciated. You can see their website here and my page is here, I'm listed on the makers list under Crawford Nicola. Thank you to any one who votes or has already voted.

New Design

I've taken some jewellery into the Hazlitt Arts Centre in Maidstone today which will be available for sale in there for 3 months along with other artists work. I managed to get a new design for some ivy earrings finished in time to take in, they are to match the Entwined Ivy Pendant and hopefully I'll get them available in the web shop soon.
