Busy Bean Designs

Busy Bean Designs Handmade pieces. Beaded jewellery. I make a variety of different jewellery - and occasionally dabble in other crafts.

The pieces you see here are inspired by their components. One of my favourite bits of making is getting everything out and putting together the colours or metals, or just the materials that work together. Nothing inspires me like the beads, themselves!

Prepping for my Jewellery Show Event for the end of the week! I’ve carefully selected a series of pieces to include in this event: my first Facebook market event for a few years now! Eek!
-
There’s all kinds of things in here! Blues and greens! Dangly earrings! Delicate necklaces! Pinks and reds!
-
As with the pieces only Etsy, all of the prices on these pieces are lower than I would’ve originally sold them for due to me trying to clear out my stash ready for my full move into my metalwork!
-
If you’d like to see the show for yourself, drop me a comment or a message and I’ll send you the Facebook group link. It starts on Thursday at 9pm and I will be sharing your company until Friday evening around the same time! See you there!

A busy little bean, burrowing behind the scenes. I haven’t been able to dedicate a huge amount of time to social media content, nor making new beady pieces but what with work work and this years New Years resolution, I have good reason!
-
I have been updating the Etsy shop with current stock. I think I’m over 100 pieces now, but I don’t think I’m halfway through yet! Whilst I have been quiet, there’s been a steady stream of sales, including these which have just flown the coop today! Make sure to check in regularly!
-
Despite the currently busy schedule, I am hoping to dedicate the odd Monday to this so fingers crossed we have new pieces and photos soon!
-
The New Years resolution is to spend a bit more me-time! As a result, I’ve started making my own clothes! Most recently finished: a pair of AMAZING trousers (the pattern designer is a fitting/creative genius!). Midway through: a scarf! Next in the list: Bamboo jersey leggings to replace the many rubbish pairs of mass produced rubbish that are falling apart!
-
Last but by no means least, I shall be doing an online event! From the evening of Thursday 3rd February, to the evening of Friday 4th February, I shall be hosting a market day on the wonderful Jewellery Show group page on Facebook!

Do drop me a message if you’d like an invite/more information!

Bouncing from task to task, idea to idea.
-
I’ve got a few plans on the horizon, whilst my latest project under ‘The Metalsmith’ is almost ready to leave to simmer, I’ve got my sights set on my beads once more! Not only this, but potentially little tutorials, a destash and maybe just maybe, a little book idea?
-
What’s everyone else up to??
-
Head to my Etsy shop to get your paws on these pretties!

A selection of new pieces going live on the shop today!
-
A perfect balance of delicacy, colour and summer! Make sure you pop in today to check out all the new pieces.
-
If you don’t see a colour way, or design that’s captured your heart, get in contact! I have a whole stash of beautiful bits that have not yet made it to the Photobox! Slowly but surely, says the tortoise!

Hello, all! I hope you’re keeping well?
-
Just popping in with an update. Between various metal commissions, a new project and all the accompanying admin, I’ve been photographing and uploading to Etsy again!
-
Hoping to have all of these up on Etsy by the end of the week! Is there any particular colours and styles you wish to see?
-
Let me know! (Link to see what I've already got in store below!)

New new new!!

I’ve been super busy balancing hand medals, admin, commissions and communications. When I get through a stack of other jobs, I can return to my Big Busy Bean Clear-out!
-
Cushions!! I have 6 listings up on Etsy, including a special listing for one-off cushions! I don’t have the room to have all of the cushions stuffed and ready to go, so I still have quite a few ‘flat packed’ if you see one that you like the look of. Let me know and I can take measurements and more photos!
