My new Folksy shop

Just a short blog today as I've been busy finding my way around FOLKSY

Its a fairly new wesbite aimed at providing UK based craftspeople with a place to list and sell their handmade goods.

It seems pretty good and I've opened my own Folksy shop

So far just a few items listed but I'll be adding more. Do have a quick look and let me know what you think.

Lavender Lane bracelet - perfect for arthritis sufferers

Ideal for Arthritis/ rheumatism sufferers, my latest bracelet is a stunning mix of beads in shades of lavender, lilac, purple and silver.

Woven together to form a cuff style bracelet which caresses your wrist it fastens with an elegant and practical foldover magnetic clasp in antique bronzed copper. Overall length including clasp is 19cm (7.5")

As an arthritis sufferer myself I am always looking for ways to alleviate pain and follow the popular belief that both copper and magnets are an effective source of pain relief.

These clasps contain two strong magnets and are made from copper, providing two widely popular treatments in one together with the added advantage of being extremely easy to fasten by yourself, even with painful hands.

This colourway is a one off and this unique and unusual bracelet can be yours for just £14, please email me if interested.

Chunky agate necklace and bracelet set

Another item I've been working on lately is this big, bold gemstone pendant necklace and matching bracelet, and I love it - I hope you do too.

In genuine natural agate gemstones the fabulous brown, gold and red shades make me think of South American desert landscapes so I've called it Atacama.

At £25 for the set its a snip of a price for a huge statement piece and as its a one off, if you like it buy it now.

Email me at Beadyjan@yahoo.co.uk to reserve it for yourself or to ask me any more questions about it and any of my creations.

New necklace

I haven't blogged anything for ages so just thought I'd share my latest creation. This necklace is a beadworked peyote spiral embellished with a myriad of lovely beads in shades of bronze, copper and turquoise.

Approximately 18" long it fastens with an ornate Tibetan silver flower t-bar clasp.

Its a one of a kind item and is available for sale at just £24.

If you're interested just let me know.
