Creativity fascinates me, be it tiaras, jewellery, wall papering and decorating, photography or website creation. I list these specifically as I have dabbled in them all. I have been running my little hobby business now for almost 5 years and tinkering with designs for almost 6 years. I was looking at some old photographes of some of my original designs and I was gobsmacked at how far I have come and how much I have taught myself. Some of the original designs are interesting and possibly sometime in the future I may revive them and bring them more up to date. I used simple fashion beads in their creation and ready made components. Now I use swarovski crystals and pearls and make up all my own components...I even rewire diamantes if I am requested to use them in any of my designs. The images that follow are some of the first tiaras I made.
THEN
It is a far cry from what I am designing these days. I think the one that would make up the best in swarovski crystals is the fourth design and some day I may just do that!
They all look good to me lol I remember the first necklace I made took me all day and it fell apart! Your new designs are more fluid and free form which I like :-)
I would be embarrassed to have a bride wear any of the first lot of designs especially as they were made with plastic fashion beads. I am pleased to say that I haven't actually sold any of those designs! But thank you for your kind comments :)
Housewife, mum, carer.
My hobby business is making tiaras and jewellery. I am married to Andrew and we have three children. My son is 20 and my twins (boy & girl are 17). I help look after my mum. I was talked into my business by my family who all knew I was arty and crafty. When my niece decided to get married I was talked into making her a tiara. Things just grew from there...tiaras, then jewellery, then feathered combs and fascinators. Now I also make wire wrapped jewellery and rosary beads.
