FOLKSY SEPTEMBER EMBERS

We’re taking part in the daily listings challenge over at Folksy this September. Going by the name of the September Embers (embers), participants in the challenge can list an item a day. It’s a lovely opportunity to showcase the handmade creations being made in the UK.

Hopefully, you’ll also get the chance to see what Lizzyanthus has been working on over the last few months too!

During the first 4 days of the challenge, the embers have been brightening up the day with these lovely items:

Amazing art

A beautiful ‘Original Watercolour Flower’ Created by Kelly, and an eye-catching ‘Red Sky at Night’ by Passionate About Photography.

Here’s a lovely ‘Wooden Bird’ aceo from Glitzy Glass and Stained glass ‘Sunshine Panel’ from Diomo Glass.

Fun Accessories

As well as stunning art being introduced through the listings club, you’ll also find an amazingly fun selection of clothing and accessories including: Philosophical Garlic’s fiery ‘Glass Chilli Charm Bracelet’ and this funky ‘Black Floral A-line Skirt’, which can be made to order from Posy Sews.

The embers have also produced this stunning handmade ‘Purple, Pink & Gold Foil Pendant’ from JKJ and O’blue Thrashion’s ‘Recycled Skateboard Multistripe Ring’

Over at Lizzyanthus, we’ve added some colourful charm jewellery of our own, and introduced our new range of sterling silver pendant & earrings sets:

Officially recognised as the shortest day of the year, December 21st 2010, saw a stunning stellar display that turned the moon red-orange. Caused by an eclipse, the phenomenon was the first full lunar eclipse to coincide with the Winter Solstice in over 300 years.

To celebrate the event, which is believed to be an auspicious time for new beginnings, Lizzyanthus has launched a range of Astral Jewellery, inspired by the Sun and Moon.

About Folksy and the September Stars

Folksy is a UK based site, that specialises in handmade items. The organisation gives individual makers the chance to showcase their work.

September Stars is part of a monthly listing challenge being undertaken by crafters on Folksy. The challenge is to list an item a day, throughout September and help promote the work of others within the September Stars Listing Club.

After a perfectly timed holiday that saw plenty of sunshine in northern England, we have finally thawed out and dusted off our blow torches and soldering equipment.

Having had lots of fun playing with our new stock of gemstones and beaded jewellery, we’re now ready to get our hands properly dirty again… and ruin our manicures.  Who said jewellery making was for the delicate?

Here we’re busy soldering what’s soon to be a beautiful, gem set bracelet.  The finished piece is going to be so pretty.

We’ve also been working on: Adjustable rings, Brooches, Bangles…

Not sure we’ll ever get over how something so delicate can be created through brute force and power tools!  It’s certainly worth the wasted manicure though.
