Creative with Copper

I love the rose hue of copper when highly polished and its green patina on ageing. Always a popular medium for working by metal smiths throughout the ages, with all manner of items being created, including jewellery, weapons, coinage, bowls, cups and even roofing amongst so many other uses. I have decided to have a look on Folksy to see what those talented crafters have made using this gorgeous metal - please click on the pictures to be taken to the items in the artisans shops for more information.......................................... I do hope you will like this little selection and montage of gorgeous copper goodies! Thank you so much for looking. Jacqueline x

British Wild life!

I love the natural world and none more so than the superb wild life we have in these gorgeous islands we all call home. From the tinyest insect to the tallest tree, all are beautiful and inspirational. The wonders of creation never fail to astonish me. So, I decided to have a look on Folksy to see if anyone else felt the same way as I do. Take a look at what I found..... ............................................................................................................................... I do hope you have enjoyed my montage to our fantastic wildlife. Please just click on the pictures to be taken to the items in the artisans shops - there is so much more to see on Folksy. Please do have a look for more inspirational wild life creations. Jacqueline x

Ring Fest!

I know it has been absolutely ages since I last wrote a blog. Sorry about that! I have been trying to get the house ready for my imminent arrival - baby number four is due on the 25th August, so I have plenty to do. Lots of painting, carpet cleaning and window washing - not my favourite jobs, but they need doing. I thought I would ease myself back into blogging by showcasing my favourite type of jewellery - the ring! I love rings because it is one piece of jewellery that you can look at and enjoy whilst wearing it yourself. You can't always do this with a necklace or earrings - not unless you have a mirror to hand! So, as usual, please click on the pictures to be taken to the artisans shops to look at the rings featured and the rest of their gorgeous creations....... .....................These rings appealed to me, but there are so many more, to suit every buget, available for sale on Folksy. Do pop by and have a look. Thank you so much, Jacqueline x
