Just back from a big craft fair...


I'm just back after doing a 4 day craft fair at Middleton Hall in Central Milton Keynes. The fair finished on Sunday 13th September. I was really pleased with my display and added in a few new extra things this time such as a curtain for the panels at the back of my stand, and a couple of new display features. I have always made my own 'Chloe's Designs' banner, but I would really like to get a bigger and more professional looking banner made for my next fair.

I will be back at Middleton Hall in Central Milton Keynes for their Christmas Gift Fair, Thursday 29th October to Sunday 1st November.

This week has been very busy for me getting my Ebay shop back online. I have been listing lots of new pendants, bracelets & bangles, and will be listing some more of my new handmade pieces today.

Here are a few of my latest handmade sterling silver bangles...

A busy August Preparing...

I've been keeping myself busy this month trying to make as many new pendants, earrings and other jewellery bits. I've got my next big craft fair coming up soon and I'm starting to panick a little. I think I've got nearly everything sorted. Just trying to get my last few jobs done.

The craft fair is on at Central Milton Keynes indoor shopping centre between Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th September. The fair will be in Middleton Hall right outside John Lewis. If you're passing by, please come and say hello : - )



I've made lots of pendants and really want to put some of them on beaded necklaces. I'm not very good when it comes to beads and have been really struggling to find one's that I like. In the past I have used Cats Eye (fibre optic) beads, but I would like to try something a little different.



August was also a busy month for me as I had a few birthday pressies to buy & make. I made this sterling silver & dichroic glass dragonfly bracelet for my mum along with a matching necklace & earrings set. I was really pleased how well the bracelet came out and definately want to make some more of these.

Working with Sterling Silver & Cold Enamels

Over the last few weeks I've been busy practising my soldering skills using sterling silver sheet & metal. I finished making several sterling silver bangles which I sent off to be hallmarked at an assay office. I was so excited to get my jewellery pieces back officially hallmarked. I'm now working on my next set of bangles and rings which I will also send away to be hallmarked.

To add a little colour to my jewellery, I've wanted to try enamelling for ages, but I've read it's a little tricky, so I opted for a cold enamel kit which I've been testing out. I've had great fun with my cold enamels, and my soldering technique is also coming along.

I've only had 1 small accident while sawing some sterling silver sheet, when I left my hand in front of the saw and ended going through my finger. Ouch!! It wasn't too bad, but bad enough to learn to keep my fngers out of the way!!

I finished this ring a while ago also using sterling silver sheet for the heart and rectangle silver wire for the ring shank. This was my first ring using the cold emamels.


I've been a little side-tracked working with silver lately, although over the last few days I have been back on the case with my dichroic glass jewellery pieces. My next big craft fair is in September at Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, so I really want to try and make as much as possible to take with me. My jewellery items are currently for sale in my ebay shop, so please come by and take a look.
