Blonde People Can't Speak German: June 2012

Hi there everyone and welcome to my blog! My name is Lauren, I'm 19 years old and I live in Glasgow. I'm a blue eyed, blonde haired vegetarian Lady Gaga and Owen Wilson fan. I love more than that, but it would take up more than one page. Well, alright here goes; Memebase, comedy movies, squirrels, ducks, Disney, glitter, Jem and the Holograms, Thunderbirds, Avengers, shopping, arts and crafts, Katy Perry, The Sims 3, Family Guy. I don't think I can breathe after that sentence. I mostly learned how to make jewellery myself, although some of it was taught at a local bead shop, which is my favourite place for a bit of retail therapy. So far I have just been making little practice pieces, gifts, etc, but I hope that someday I will be able to sell some of my work (not the one-of-a-kind stuff, that's for myself, family and friends only). The only things standing in my way is:

1) Not enough creative criticism

2) I have no idea how to tax what you sell online

3) I have very little knowledge of how to sell online

As you can see, help on those would be welcomed! Feel free to look around the blog, leave comments on pieces you like or think could be improved, follow the blog if you like what you see and vote on the poll!

Loadsa love,

Lady Hansel nee Zoolander (had to change it. Owen Wilson beats Ben Stiller this time!)

Hummingbird Heartbeat

The highlight of my day was making this, which I named after the Katy Perry song (it's not a single, for those who don't know it).

Spiral Seed Bead Bracelet

Another new technique, this took me nearly all day to make!

Jingle Charm!

My first phone charm with a bell on it!

Art Deco?

I made these today, took me ages to do, I reckon they look a bit Art Deco, but what do you think?

Aloha!

My Hawaiian style bracelet.

Ribbon Necklaces

I love the pendants on these, the elephant I ordered from Hong Kong and the heart came free off of a magazine.

Whoo! Scotland!

The cabochon from a keyring I made my cousin.

Feathered Earrings!

I adore feather earrings, so I had a go at making my own!

Wrapped Wire Spiral Bracelets

Okay, so I tried a different technique using wire to make bracelets without clasps that also are not tied, but that wrap around the wrist.

More Beads

Candy Skies

Scarlet's Revenge

Daisy Daze

Summer Dreaming

Ahoy!

Celestial

New Shamballas

First Attempt

This was my first attempt at making a Captain America shield out of Fimo.

Ice Ice Lolly

Some slightly more professional looking kumihimo bracelets.
