Hi Guys,
I've just joined this forum and thought I'd show off a few things I've made recently. I make handmade jewellery and dreamcatchers as a hobby. I'd like to hear peoples opinions on them as I would like to make a business out of it at some point. I have been doing jewellery making for several years now, starting off with basic bead stringing and then moving on to wire wrapping. I've just recently moved on to silversmithing, having done a two day course at Leeds Art College last year and now just teaching myself as I go along. I've also done a little lampworking (making glass beads) recently. I like to use natural materials where I can, I have a very extensive collection of semi-precious and precious stone beads which I use in my jewellery. I have also been making dreamcatchers for a few years now, since I was in school in fact where they won an award from the Young Enterprise Sheme (a business scheme for 6th formers where you create your own company and sell products you have made) for best product that year
So here are a few things I've made recently - any comments welcome!
