  3. Jeremy Atkinson is the only man left in England making shoes by hand from wood and leather. He uses trees that are 20 to 30 years old to create footwear that lasts longer than modern shoes.

  5. @thegiddystitcher I feel like there were some instances specifically for people selling handmade things. Definitely might be worth adding #HandmadeUK #handmade as tags

  6. This may be too niche an ask but...artists of the Fediverse, do you sell any of your warm and cozy work in the form of a desk mat? Do you ship to the UK?

    Please slide into my comments with a link to your shop!

    :boost_ok: Boosts appreciated because I have no idea how to tag this, thank you

  7. Anyhoo, these pieces ARE online, and ready for you to find them! 😉 Fingers crossed I'll be sorted soon and can get the rest up very soon. 🤞

  8. I'd been making good progress at getting my new Autumn pieces online over the past few days… and then my laptop died. 😫 It's currently in the repair shop and I'm hoping against hope that they can fix it, as I really don't have the time or headspace to be dealing with finding a new one right now. Why do these things always happen when you are already spinning too many plates as it is?!

  9. * Price Increases Incoming *

    It's a post I really don't want to have to write, but the time has come and I really can't avoid it any longer. Unfortunately the price of silver continues to rise, and along with that I'm afraid my prices are about to rise too. I'm preparing for a return to the studio tomorrow and found that the cost of my silver sheet has gone up by about 6% in just the last week alone.

  10. I will be working on my pricing over the coming days, but I'm giving you advance warning now. I'll be starting to edit my website next week, but any orders placed before Sunday evening are guaranteed at the current levels. Thanks, as always, for being so awesome and know that I really do appreciate you sticking around when times get a bit rough. 🤗

  11. A quick look back at my order history shows an eye watering 36% increase in just the past 6 months. 🤯 I hate to do this, especially with Christmas around the corner, but I'm sure you'll understand that at this point it really is unavoidable. Don't worry though, you're not going to see prices go up by anywhere near that amount, especially my mixed metal pieces!

  12. Launching in the Hexham shop today, ready for our Creative Quarter open evening, and heading online next week. I've loved working on this collection and I'm really chuffed to see it all come together. I've definitely got a couple of favourites (is it wrong to make something then hope no-one buys it?!). Hope you love it too! 🤞🍂🍂

  15. A little peek ahead at what's coming next week as part of my new Autumn Collection. Think falling leaves in copper and silver, accented by a small selection of stone set pieces in autumnal shades. Launching on Friday as part of our 'Creative Quarter' open evening, and heading online soon after.

  16. Another week complete, where is the time going?!

    A little photo dump of what's been doing on in my world these past 7 days - sunny morning walks, working on new things, definite signs of autumn, and to finish the week, a community archaeology dig in the back garden. As you do! (Alas no Roman treasure was found 🙁)

    How's your week been? ☺️

  17. I had a fab couple of hours joining them together to create this necklace, along with two bracelets. Each one is completely unique and never to be repeated. I really love how they've turned out, and I'd love it even more if they could find a good home! I'm going to try to get them online tomorrow, but if you want to stake your claim before that or to find out more, then drop me a line. ☺️

  18. It is always good to get feedback from our customers:
    "We had such a poignant return visit to the tree since it was felled, still such a beautiful and magical place and the day ended with a very special gift from my husband. A piece of your sycamore jewellery I will treasure it always and thank you for making such simple but meaningful pieces of art. xxx"

  19. New in store, and coming to my online shop very soon. Twisted huggie hoops in a choice of sterling silver, brass or copper. Which are your favourite?

  20. I was a bit nervous about the task as the stones were very delicate, but in the end I thoroughly enjoyed making them and was really pleased with how the necklaces turned out. And, most importantly, so were my clients. Phew!

  21. One of my recent commissions, which was handed over last week: a cute quartet of jade pendants.

    [See the next post in this thread for progress shots.]

    My clients were an older couple who had four jade cabochons that had come from a bracelet bought in China a number of years ago. They wanted to turn the stones into pendants which will eventually be given to their daughters and granddaughters.
