jewelllery making for 2010

JuJu those are super bracelets.
Nice blog posts too as it helps to get an idea of what to aim for.

Is anyone happy to share seller ID's of their ebay purchases as I assume that you will have done the hardwork of reliable sellers & good prices. That sounds cheeky but it isn't supposed to be, thanks.

I only really use a couple of Ebay shops, one is Sanctury Beads and the other is the Bead Shed

Crafty JuJu ~ I love your new mem wire bracelets. I hadn't thought of doing them like that with the bulk of the beads on one side, it's very effective!

Crafty JuJu I love the dragonfly bracelet can you point me in the direction of where you sell your designs please. And do you do requests for specific pieces eg I love your dragonfly one but would love it in blue

Thought I would introduce myself (some of you will know me from the card making thread).

My name is Kate and I am a childminder who loves crafting but had given it up until I got inspired by the lovely MSE ladies on the making card thread. I am interested in jewellery making but not brave enough to try as I have no idea where to start or have any inspiration. SO I am going to lurk on here and check out your lovely pieces and who knows I may get inspired to try something

Kandipandi - Thankyou I thought I'd try something alittle different to the ones I'd seen.

nannyboo1 - Welcome I'm on the card thread too you can find them all here http://www.folksy.com/shops/CraftyJuJuDesigns. I'll PM you

:wave: Hi Kate :wave:

Be warned jewellery making is addictive!

As a starting place why not get a starter kit from ebay with all the tools and beads and findings etc and just have a go?

Crafty_JuJu

Juju - they're brilliant - love the third one down:T think the colours are more my sort of thing if you know what I mean.

nannyboo..............I've been lurking for ages before I dare open my mouth................not a jewellry maker.........but have started doing button necklaces (bracelets still to be done). Gave my friend one for her birthday...........told her she was the first to have one and hoped it doesnt fall to bits...............lol
