Blonde People Can't Speak German: November 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!)

Love Bugs!

These wrapped wire bracelets were made using lucite leaves and glass ladybirds to look like bugs crawling across a branch.

Strawberries and Dreams

You know when you have a small amount of nice beads you cannot bear to use because they are too nice? Well, that's how I feel about my strawberry beads. Thankfully I finally found a good use for them. This lovely matching earrings and bracelet set.

The Big Blue

The first of these sea-themed bracelets was made by mixing a selection of beads into a 'bead soup', and randomly picking them. The second uses wire wrapping, a technique I have come to favour recently.
