Today was my first time at Waikanae Community Market. Sunny but windy; had to move some jewellery stands off my table and onto the handy ‘shelf’ in the car boot – which actually made a nice display area for the non-featured jewellery.
My main display was of “Floral Bouquet” and “Flora” ranges, and I bought some gorgeous flowers from another stallholder that really complemented my display.
I added a few “Halloween” pieces – for dress-up parties, or lovers of the vampire movie genre. (The pieces have names like “Eudoxia”, “Morticia” and “Blood Lines”!)
Because al fresco jewellery making is just too difficult, but I need to be occupied, I worked on my latest EclecticYarn creation between customers. Almost as many people stopped to admire the stitching as the jewellery; maybe I should take some of my smaller fibre artworks next time.
I was lucky to get a space near friendly neighbours who shared some helpful market tips. Several people asked if I’d be back next week: weather permitting, yes!
See the latest creations in my “bridal” range, which includes some bold “mother of the bridge” earrings, a range of bridesmaids’ earrings, flower girl set, and jewellery to suit any member of the wedding party.
During July 2021, they’re on display in the Kapiti Gallery; any that don’t sell will be added to my online shop bronz.bridal.beads on the Felt platform.
In early May I saw a demonstration of making earrings from felt, so I’ve been having a go. I’m not sure how well they’ll stay together – might have needed a bit more soap in the mix. Happy with the way the look!
Several of my recent pairs of earrings feature purple and blue shades. You can find them – along with my Midnight Flower creations – on my online shop: bronzbeads
Brand new in my Boho range, this bracelet and earrings set is named for the unusual “Himalayan Blue” poppy – noted for its astonishing blue flowers (read more at gardenia.net).
I’m delighted to be adding a Bridal range to my portfolio, and have created a separate online shop so you can find my wedding-themed creations easily: www.bronzbridal.felt.co.nz You can find more details in my NZ Wedding Directory listing, and an eye on my Facebook page, too.
Do you harbour a secret love of True Blood, Twilight or even the Addams Family? HALLOWEEN’s coming and so’s my new range, with names like Blood Lines, Bellatrix and Morticia!
If you fancy a dirigible flight, are turned on by the gliding and meshing of cogwheels, and love a touch of Victoriana? See my STEAMPUNK DREAMS range, including Dirigible Dreams, Gearwork Hearts and Cognito.
Plus I’ve several pretty new FLORAL, FLORAL BOUQUET and BOHO creations!
I’ve updated the Catalogue page to include my newest jewellery (and remove pieces I’ve sold recently) including my very latest Tulip “Yellow Spring Green” bracelet and Tulip “Parrot King” earrings, and Euphorbia “Polychroma” set.
I’ve uploaded 10 more pairs of earrings for you to look out, as well as updating each of the portfolios I’ve added to recently.
At present I’m focussing on big, bountiful, #plussize floral creations—because big girls need big beads!—but you’ll find just the thing to suit your style, or buy as a gift, in bronzbeads’ varied jewellery portfolios.
