New Autumn Collection




I'm about halfway through making my Autumn collection of Lisa-Maries Jewellery & Accessories! How exciting!
I love creating Jewellery at this time of year with all the dark colours (blacks, purples, greens) and love adding little charms like dragonflies and leaves.
I've popped into Wings at Indigo Salon (103 Par Green, Par, Cornwall PL24 2AG) with the new collection, so if your around the Par area please feel free to drop in and have a look, all of my unique one of a kind creations are affordably priced and some come in pretty gift boxes ready to be given as presents.

Folksy Seller Interview 'K Scott Crafts'


Wow This is my tenth Folksy seller interview! I hope you have found some new favourite sellers and enjoyed reading about the people behind the folksy shops, i know i have!

Name
Kristen Scott
Folksy Shop: K Scott Crafts


How Long have you been on Folksy? 

Just a few months, I'm fairly new to it

Describe what you create

make a variety of things using polymer clay- cake toppers, figurines and various pieces of jewellery, including tiny animals, food, and millefiori beads. I also make custom pieces to order. :)

 How did you get into your craft?

I used to model with polymer clay as a teenager but hadn't used it in ages, then one of my friends was looking for a specific wedding cake topper and I decided to have a go at making it for her, and from then on I got back into polymer clay modelling as a hobby, then I started making beads with it and got into jewellery making from there.:)

What inspires you?
 I love animals as you can probably guess as I've got a lot of animal-related things in my shop! :D .

Which item for sale in your Folksy shop is your favourite? 

 From my jewellery range, I'm rather pleased with my sheep bracelet, which has 4 little white sheep and one little black sheep charms on it.Large image


What makes you unique?
 I'll have a go at most commissions so my jewellery will be as unique as you are :)

If you won the Lottery how would you spend your millions?

I'd buy a nice house for myself and my husband, (complete with a nice big studio for myself, natch!) and make sure our families and friends were sorted, do a bit of travelling and donate some to charity too.
Do you have a favourite shop which you buy from on Folksy?
 Ooh, there are loads of lovely shops on Folksy! I love Bits N Bobs fancy soaps, Printed On Ribbon's ribbons and Hand Over Your Fairy Cakes jewellery

Folksy Seller Interview 'HunniBee Jewelleree'

Name: Karen Sarah Irvine
Folksy Shop: HunniBee Jewelleree
How Long have you been on Folksy?
Only discovered folksy about a month ago....a hidden treasure that I quickly shared with anyone who would listen.
Describe what you create:
I create one off bespoke pieces of jewellery that can't be found in the shops. I try and source unusual and striking beads to feature in each piece.

How did you get into your craft?
I've always loved jewellery and work part time as a graphic designer so it seemed a natural progression to combine the two.
What inspires you?
Life, love, friends, nature I draw inspiration from the things in life that make me happy always striving to create something extra special that someone will love to wear. My toddler had a big influence in my return to fimo, watching him 'create with play dough' ignited my long lost passion for Fimo, hence the new keyring range. I'm also looking into working with resin so watch this space.....
Which item for sale in your Folksy shop is your favourite?
Eek that's pretty hard to call, I'm swaying towards the multi coloured glass bespoke necklace and bracelet set, these beads truly are stunning and so detailed they do the talking for themselves.
Large imageLarge image


What makes you unique?
Hmm I think the fact that everything is bespoke and can be adapted to personal preference sets you apart from the 'chain suppliers', never being scared to push the boundaries and try something new helps too :)

If you won the Lottery how would you spend your millions?
Oh I would travel and see as much of the world as I could, so many beautiful places to see, obviously picking up treasures and inspiration on the way to return and set up a studio for making lots of lovely pieces from the beads and trinkets I collected on my travels.
And we would spoil all our friends and family and support as many children's charities as possible.
