How it's going down

So my jewellery business has been online for a few weeks now and I have to say the response has been really really great. There is no way that I expected some of the positive reactions I have been getting! It actually started as a way to make a bit of extra cash. I was really short on money and I had done the bar work, done the waitressing, done the pot-washing and the cleaning all before, never mind the fact that if I tried to get a job a month before leaving Durham I would get nowhere anyway. So my creative side (plus numerous procrastination hours on Etsy) persuaded me that I should try something new... I had been making the pieces a few weeks before anything went online and was incredibly nervous about the response that they might get and (knowing that my style isn't for everybody) whether they might have a bit too much 'Harri' in them.

I'm still very new and most of it is trial and error - I'm convinced there must be other pliers that I should be using! But as I say I'm incredibly grateful for the support that my pieces have been shown over the past few weeks. Most of the sales have been from close acquaintances which proves I need to extend my networking talons further, however the knowledge that my friends are willing to buy into my product and my designs is really gratifying and hopefully indicative of what is to come!

As for the style and design aspect of the necklaces I am going to try and keep along the same lines and stick to pastel colours mixed with various chains and edgy pendants. I am a big fan of spikes and studs so they may have to make an appearance at some point, I also love the layering of chains (as may be evident in some of my existing pieces) so will definitely stick with that too.

I would love to know what people think about including these

kinds of studs in my jewellery. I think I'm a bit blindsighted by my style! 

Let me know what you think! 

As I said before (I don't want to keep going on) I am extremely grateful for peoples support and even though I would love to keep every piece of jewellery that I make I am happy that they are all going to good homes! If you could keep liking my work that would be amazing and if you could share or tell people about my page that would be even more amazing! Lets hope the next few weeks are as impressive as the first!

I was looking for a gangsta cat...and then I found this.
