#marchmeetthemaker! Day 29- Best Part The best part is making jewellery. I love the freedom of being able to make what I want when I want to try new things be able to really get creative to make jewellery. I really love what I do. 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #resinearrings #polymerclayearrings #bestpart (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqXqzbQMU-F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 28-Adapt There are two main ways I adapt in my business recently. The first is with planning. Having this system for the last year or so has helped. I like to have arrived schemed and to get things done in the order I want but I have learnt I can’t always do that. And using this system helps me plan but also way adapt throughout the week. So that’s pictures of my todo list. The second is adapting my goals and expectations for my business and where it is going and being able to go with it a little and adapt my plan as I go. So that’s why there is a map background because so times I’m going to take a different route or even change my destination. 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #resinearrings #polymerclayearrings #adapt (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVId7xsY79/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 27- Tools There are so many tools for jewellery making and for me they are in two categories. Rolling pin, cutters are the most used for the polymer clay and after it’s baked and assembling time. It’s pliers and wire cutters. The safety googles came after an unfortunate incident ending with an a piece of chain flew into my eye so now safety goggles are on when cutting chain. These are just a few of the tools I use when I’m making jewellery. 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #resinearrings #polymerclayearrings #tools #jewellerymakingtools (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSg3HbMbWZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 23- Colour I love pastel colours I love using them in my designs especially pinks purple and blues. But I love colour in general that why I love polymer clay and resin so much the colour options are endless! 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #resinearrings #polymerclayearrings #colour #pastelcolors #pastelcolours (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqK4jOSsrXu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 22- Decision My decision was last year and it was deciding to take the leap and go full time with my business. It wasn’t an easy decision I liked my job but my business is what I really wanted to do. Things where going in the right direction and it was har to do markets when I worked weekends. I was definitely thinking about it a long time and when I saw if not now when written in the board at work as that weeks quote I thought yeah if not now when. It was scary and it hasn’t been easy there is definitely ups and downs and time I thought was it a mistake. But I’ve really done a lot of great things and I have a supportive family which definitely helps. So yeah that was my decision I think it was the right one! 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #resinearrings #polymerclayearrings #decision #selfemployed #takingtheplunge #ifnotnowwhen (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqFu71hMoXs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 21- Favourite Process My favourite process probably changes a lot but at the moment it’s screen printing. I love the whole thing drawing a design creating the screen and then using to print into clay. This is a pair I screen printed on it’s a very simple design for my first real screen I made but I love how it came out and I’m looking forward to doing more. 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #resinearrings #polymerclayearrings #screenprinting #screenprint #print #printmaking #printdesign (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDKcDnM0-0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 20- Glow Up You may have noticed I changed my logo and spruced up my website. It was a big change as you can see just a simple adjustments and sticking to a clearer colour pallet. It was a bit all over the place before. So that’s my little brand hollow up not a if change but I’m happy with it! 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #resinearrings #polymerclayearrings #glowup #brand #rebranding (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqAmFGyMBkk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 17- Creative Space I had an urge to find a tidy corner and take a photo but I thought I would be truthful! This is my creative space a chaotic desk with lots going on. Things I’m making, equipment two screens one for watching YouTube the other for spreadsheets. I have lots of inspiration on my wall of art from @baylee_jae @pypahs_art and @emilyharveyart. Peg boards on the other wall bursting at the seams with all sorts of fun things like paint and glitter., I love my creative space I love being here with my dog making creating and enjoying myself and my space. It makes me happy! 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #resinearrings #polymerclayearrings #creativespace #studio #craftroom (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp43sKLM6bc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 16- Highs and Lows In business there are a lot of highs and lows. A high for me in from last week was getting at sale on launch day of my new collection the first time that has happened. Other highs are when I get a nice review of sale it always makes my day. And I’m proud of my latest collection so that’s a high too. Lows are when weeks go by with no sales or when I don’t get an opportunity I applied for the doubts and worry creep in. And trying to push them down and keep going is easier some days more than others. 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earringshop #statementearrings #statementjewellery #polymerclayearrings #highs #lows #highsandlows (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2THKas7oN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 9- Trial and Error There is a lot of trial and error when designing and making products. But the one I want to mention today is product photography. I am terrible at it. And over the course of the years I have tried so many different things. And I feel I get slightly better every time but there is lots of trail and error and a lot of frustration sometimes but I keep going trying things and hopefully improving. 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #handmadeuk #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #earrings #earringshop #polymerclayearrings #photography #productphotography #trialanderror (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkQ93us1Ut/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 8- Finishing Touches There is a couple of finishing touches I like to do one is UV resin. Usaublly to enchnaxe the look of the clay offer or to protect the details like in this one printed glitter pattern needs to be protected to help with longevity and also it gives it a nice glossy effect. The second finishing touch I like todo is add a link just to give a bit more interest and detail to a pieces like the in this picture a gold link compliments the green jewel tones. 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #smallbusiness #handmadeuk #polymerclay #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #finishingtouches #details #earrings #statementearrings #earringshop #polymerclayearrings (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CphsDyqMQ5J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#marchmeetthemaker! Day 7- Learn I love learning. I love to learn new techniques I like learning about business and marketing. But the big thing I have learnt in the last few months is to slow down. My mind runs a mile a minute I want to try everything right now; a technique an opportunity a new product and I want to get to the next milestone so can do the next thing. But I have learnt to take a breath and think I will get there eventually I will be able to try that technique or new product expand or get opportunities and there is time and to enjoy the moment and what I making and doing right now. 💜 💜 💜 #marchmeetthemaker2023 #mmtm #meetthemaker #meetthemakermonth #pedddleuk #creativebusiness #smallbusiness #handmadeuk #mybussiness #gettoknowme #thisisme #polymerclay #jewellerymaking #jewellerymaker #learn #learning #slow #slowdown (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfIvpwMwGC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
