Ethical consumer blog Hippyshopper gave us a mention yesterday which was great! Soon after had a lovely email from a girl who is looking for sea themed jewellery in time for her beach wedding - she is hoping that we could come up with an anklet or bracelet to be her 'something blue'. I love a challenge and am enjoying the encouragement as a result of our 'coming soon' blog.Tommorrow Christine and I will be trawling a nearly new sale in aid of the local branch of the National Coastwatch Institute (so quite apt). We will be on the lookout for old beads and fabrics to mix with the new fairtrade glass beads. There is a group of retired ladies in Gower who have also taken to beading - so I guess we will be in competition for the best junk! - should be fun!
[Pic - Necklace made using a recycled glass heart, pale green and lemon fairtrade glass beads and vintage pearls. Although most pieces will be sea-inspired - colours other than blue will be available - pics of bracelets and new designs to be revealed soon.]
