Hi thought you might like to see the ceramic jewellery my hubby and I make. The photos were taken very quickly this evening in poor light by me. We are hoping to sell them at craft fairs this crimbo so will be really interested to see what you all think.   The second photo are casts of hazel nuts to give you a sense of size.

| Thank you all the hazelnut ones are my favourite. The others look much better in real life as the beads are quite small. |

I love all the colours and patterns. Do you do that by hand?
Good luck with the selling and well done for planning in advance.
I love all sorts of craft/ knitting/ fiddling but don't think about getting any stock together until November, HOPELESS![/img] |

Yes they are all individually made and decorated. I have recently branched into the world of felt beads so I am currently experimenting with that.  |

| That it is, but the weather being so pants means more time inside so at least it is productive. |

Well I've decided that today I'm going to have a good clear out in the shed, put stuff on ebay that I don't use any more and make more room for more glassy stuff.

That's a great workspace Katie. I'm contemplating the box bedroom for my stuff, all I have to do is evict my 3 year old daughter...  |

Sorry I've taken so long to answer, I lost a dear friend inbetween posts.
The shed measures 12 x8 and my husband being an electrician, handily, wired it all up with plenty of sockets all round and strip lighting, he also insulated it all and boarded it out to be more of a room than a shed. I have to share with the tumble drier but thats no problem. I have an electric radiator for the winter and lots of windows that open for the summer. The only thing that I don't have is plumbing but I do have a water dispenser and a bucket for when it's raining. |
