Jewellery Party Leaflets


Here is what I put together on word for handing out to potential clients for introducing them to the potential of organising a jewellery party as home networking.

Crystal Bouquet - Work in Progress


I have made this crystal bouquet from both swarovski crystals (heart shapes, butterfly shapes and bicone shapes) and pearls. At my last count, there is over 120 individual pieces and about 100 silver plated twisted stems. It is still work in progress because I am trying to figure out whether to wrap the holder in ribbon or silk or whatever. The flexibility of the bouquet is that you can always direct the stems to face whichever angle you want or make them all straight or twist them tightly.


I am not pushing to finish it now because it is not for anyone in particular unless I get a push for it.

Start to 2010


I have been busy working on some new things and waiting for supplies to come through the post only to realise that I have either order the wrong colour, wrong size or totally wrong product. Gone are the days when we can go to shops and have a look and feel of what we are trying to buy to make sure it is right. How many times have people ordered clothes over the internet only to find out that it is not as the picture shows or it doesnt even fit. Anyway, less of my diversifying.

I have finally got the right product, colour and quantity through the post and I have had great fun in creating new things. Now I need to find out how to take good pictures with my camera. That is my 2010 resolution because I know that the pictures I take does not do my products justice. I did a marvelous sparkling crystal bouquet (all hand twisted) but the picture is awful. I cant even show it to you as a preview because it is just horrible. I did a wedding exhibition on Sunday 24th Jan 2010 and the compliments I had from brides was so interesting and wanted to know if they can see a picture of it on my website to show friends before they make up their minds to order. Unfortunately, they cant because I know the picture would not do it justice for now until I learn to take pictures of products with crystals. Talking about crystals, I also created some nice bracelets, earrings and necklaces from the said crystals. And I have also done some wedding invitations. Once I can proper pictures done, I would upload a couple for viewing.

Another thing that I have been working on is a guide to making some of my products even the crystal bouquet. They are going to be illustrated with wordings and pictures but as you already know, I need to get the pictures right first.

Thats it for now.
