Swap Workshop - My new fav website

I just wanted to tell you about an amazing community that I was invited to join recently. Swap Workshop are a friendly, intimate community who create lovely, handmade items and then swap them for something gorgeous from other members. It works on a simple point system.

This is how it works:

• Create your Swap Workshop account
  
• List your item (handmade, vintage or craft supply) on the swap board
• Allocate a number of points to your item based on the £/EUR/$ value.
  
• Wait for another member to request your item
• Send the item to the other member
• When delivery has been succesful you'll be given your points to spend (equal to the points value of the swap item you just sent)
  

That's just a brief decription but their How To page will give you more detail.

The only condition of membership is that you have a web presence for your craft, i.e. Folksy, Etsy or your own website. This is to ensure that you are a genuine swapper.

I really recommend this site. I've sent 4 rings so far and received a beautiful pair of OOAK earrings that I absolutely adore.

If you do join then please mention that Adore y la Muerto invited you.

Hope to see you there :)

The Aliens Have Landed

It's a been a busy couple of weeks since I returned from the peaceful haven of the New Forest. I've had lots and lots of orders for the skellies but I've also been working on some aliens. They're ready for sale, so this week will be spent listing them and making some other colours.

I also had a stall at St Nicholas Church Laindon's fun day last weekend. The stall was really for my other business, Ciao Bambino Silver Jewellery, but I put a few skellies out on the table to see what happened. They got some nice comments but sadly no sales. I don't think the 60 plus church-going folk are really my target market. However, the silver sold well and the sun was shining so it was a good day.

Back to the aliens. They're avaible in my Folksy outlet right now...
