Hope you are all keeping safe and well.
So all of this social isolation gives more time for reflection, and can act as a catalyst to make changes that have been percolating for a while...This has certainly been the case for me! After months of pondering pros and cons, I finally decided to close my etsy shop after 7 years. There have been changes there that have meant that traffic on the site has slowed considerably for my little shop over recent months. I was sad...but my jewellery style has been changing and this felt like a good time to make a fresh start. I'll be looking for a new forum to sell my pretties, but in the meantime, you can find me on Facebook and Instagram :-)
So these pretties are a recent make. I made these little connectors with some left over bits of silver. My go-to silver supplies shop is shut for while, so I'm using every bit of silver I have! I added some pretty silver balls for detail, and then went looking for the perfect charms to accompany them.
I cannot remember the artist who created these little enamelled copper stars, but they work well with the silver, I think
They'll be available in my next showcase.
Look after yourselves, and stay indoors

These are so very pretty Sue. I agree that the positive side of this quarantine situation is time for reflection. What is really important and what not. I understand your decision regarding Etsy. I am curious what platform you will find. As long as we are able to enjoy and buy your gorgeous jewelry, it will be a good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Janine. I'm looking at some alternatives. And will take my time to make sure i find the right one
