Amped and Revamped NZ

With lots of stock jewellery findings and all the right tools, I've decided to offer a costume jewellery repair service. If you have broken costume jewellery, check out my webpage and give me a shout to get it fixed:

A few months ago, I made these keyrings with cuttings from an old kids' atlas. If you were growing up in the 70s and 80s, you might recognise the cities.... (if you know, you know 😉)

Last market for the year...

Yesterday I decanted a bag of seed beads into a tray, separating them by colour and size. I have four more bags. I think I might leave them for a while...

I had a lovely day at the Linden Craft Fair today. I'll be back there in a couple of weeks, with my 3D books and paper-based gifts.

Craft Market season has started for me!
Over the next few weeks, I'm booked into a number of them, starting tomorrow at a local school.
I'll be taking my handmade recycled and upcycled gifts and Christmas decorations to this one. They've been made from preloved materials:
From Cast Off to One Off.
Wish me luck! 😃

I couldn't resist taking this necklace apart to see how it was made. My original plan was to re-use the long red beads separately but now I'm thinking I might keep the florets as they are and use them for some other jewellery creations.
What do you think they could be made into?
