well im a du***ss, i thought i set my shop to temporarily closed, apparently, i set it to always open! 😅 so, much as i have been practicing with silver ive came to a few conclusions, 1 im trying to make things to make other people happy which i probably why im finding it so difficult, 2 that stuff scares me! i have looked how to price it and no, i refuse to charge people that much for something, so although i will still be making things with it they will will most likely be studs as £20 seems reasonable and affordable and everyone should be able to afford shiny things that make them happy and 3 i like big ass chunky jewellery! i like chandelier earrings and statement necklaces, not the kind of thing you can make with silver enless you and your clientèle are loaded :p so, some silver studs are being uploaded as of today but im going to go back to making things i love, in a mix of medias because silver and gold may be the hoytie toytie of the jewellery world, the shiny things that people believe make you a real jeweller, but jewellery is art and art comes in all forms, so to a new era of making myself happy and hopefully bringing some of you things that will make you happy too :) xx

I am so proud of myself today, made a filigree ring, it's not perfect (copper filigree doesn't seem to want to swirl as nicely as silver does) but I absolutely love it.....I just wish I'd made it a little bigger so it would fit my man hands 🤣🤣 x

I'm still not ready for a reopen yet, I have a lot of equipment and shiny things to buy and set up plus sooooo much practice to do, but feeling a little proud today with his and hers rune rings we have a protection rune for the ladies and Odin ( wisdom) and tyr ( bravery) for the men :) they both need a good polish but they're still shiny to me ☺️ x
