When I set off on this little adventure at the start of the year, I was excited to find out that there were people out there who agreed with me that glass tile jewellery is a really satisfying way to present your favourite art. And soon I was talking to all sorts of wonderful crafters and jewellery makers - every one of them an artist in a different way. There has been one person whom I have been talking to since the very beginning and who is quickly becoming a good friend - although we have never met in person! Her name is Vicky, she runs
Tynemouth Collectables, a jewellery business, and makes beautiful pieces using some of the items from my shop, as well as some carefully sourced papers and images. Look at this beauty:
And this striking image on the bag hanger:
Vicky was also the person who sent me that
stunning pendant she had made earlier in the year, which I'm still wearing!
She is a devoted crafter and a talented artist - and now I have discovered that she has the patience to put up with my ranting when my life gets hairy!
Vicky has big plans for her business and I am in no doubt that her own adventure into jewellery making will be a successful one. I know she is now diversifying into steampunkery, so keep an eye on her
website!
