Happy Weekend! Today has been a good day as I went to visit a new friend at her new bigger studio where she runs training courses in basic Jewellery and PMC (precious metal clay) techniques. Julie Holt of Surrey Jewellery Studio has her studio at the Mayford Centre, just outside of Woking and I would definitely recommend her courses having attended a few myself already and more to come int he near future. They are also very reasonably priced and Julie is friendly and easy going, an excellent tutor.

Well, I also sold 3 more pieces of jewellery last night to some friends who haven't seen my work in person only on my Facebook pages. They really loved my stuff and it's such a good feeling to know that my work is loved. Chainmaille can be an acquired taste and it has been mentioned to me that perhaps it is something that younger people love more, but i'm not so sure as I have sold my stuff to a range of ages, but I do think I need to find a decent way to sell my jewellery other than through Etsy and Facebook and to get it out there for people to see that doesn't cost me a fortune to do considering I am only really doing this as a hobby at the moment. This evening I have bought some more supplies from the US to make some stuff to order, two watches and a dragonscale bracelet have been requested by customers to be made. I am hoping to take some more photos tomorrow of my current stock so watch this space for more about that and I think i'll be making some earrings tomorrow too. Love and maille Tracey x
