We are getting ready for our first trade show with our first 50 greetings card designs. The cards have a new innovation that we are very excited about. 

July 2011.

I have just developed a new greetings card innovation, and with the help of my family, will be introducing my products to you soon.  The greetings cards will be available here soon.

June 2011.

I have been working on some designs for my new greetings card lines. I am really excited about them, and will show them on the web site as soon as they are printed.

I have also been making lots of jewellery orders, and traveling round re-stocking my wholesale clients shops. There have been lots of requests for chandelier earrings, which look great with long or short hair. It is a real statement look. 

April 2001.

It has been a busy month. I have been Twittering to lots of lovely new businesses, and have been editing photos to put my latest designs on this web site. As the sun has been shining, I am using some Summery colours in my work.

I have just added another shop to my wholesale customer list in Leigh-on-sea, Essex. They have beautiful clothes, and now have a whole array of bespoke jewelry to compliment their ranges. I also went to meet the owner of StockingsHQ, a wholesale customer who has been selling Runaway Spray for some years. I had a tour of the warehouse, where they store all of their brands, and saw where everyone works. It was a really hot sunny day, and was a great excuse to stop off for a pub lunch on the way home!

March 2011.

The Greenwood Hotel and Spa retreat Wedding Fair was really great. I met lots of new people, and made some good contacts with businesses which compliment the Bridal designs I have been doing. I will be posting their links here soon. Chandelier earrings seem to be really popular at the moment, and I will add new photos soon. Also you can follow me on twitter @aesthetedesign if you want to see what is happening with the business more frequently, or share your top tips for Summer jewelry designs. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have been really busy with Wedding designs this year. I have made several Tiaras, and done some Wedding displays in some of the shops I supply to.  I love the way a handful of wire and beads can turn into something so beautiful. And how the Tiaras look when the brides are wearing them.  Don't forget if you would like a bespoke piece of jewelry designed just for you for valentines day, then now is the time to order it.

Nov 2011.

I am still enjoying my Silver smithing course. It is so strange being a mature student! I have just made my first silver dress ring, and have now made several necklaces. I tend to use wire soldered onto silver. I think this must be my love of painting coming out, as I always see the pendants as a picture. I have cut out three tiny birds from one necklace, then wired a twig and some water.

I have lots of jewelry events in the run up to Christmas, so bring on the sparkle!

Sept 2010.

I have just been to the Village Green event in Chalkwell Park, in Southend. I took the Dot com Divas, and who would have believed the attention they caused. Many men were running up to have their photos taken with them as they are so realistic. One lady had to straighten their skirts as they were giving her husband palpitations!  The day was very successful, and we have met lots of new customers who bought my latest designs. The music and art were inspiring, and it was a great day out for everyone involved.

July 2010.

I have made several sterling silver pieces now. I really love the way you can turn sheet silver into something so different. 

June 2010

I have just started going back to college, after a very long time, it has been pretty nerve wracking! 

I am learning how to Silversmith and to Enamel silver.

I am currently working on some really colourful tiara designs as it is getting nearer prom time, and there are a lot of evening dinner events where ladies are looking to add sparkle to their beautiful dresses, with tiaras and necklaces. I designed the crown for Miss Southend-on-Sea which was bursting with Swarovski crystals and was amazing fun to make. This is the crown she will wear into the Miss U.K. final. 

Have a good week.
