Blonde People Can't Speak German: April 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!)

Twinkle Twinkle...

This is actually a multistrand bracelet. I might upload another pic just so you can see it better.

A watch I'm definitely keeping for myself!

Bad Romance

I named this one Bad Romance, simply because it reminds me of the different outfits from Lady Gaga's video.

Suddenly, EARRINGS.

Love these bluebell earrings.

More Necklaces

Just a few more bracelets

Mostly just a few of my earlier work. I particularly love the blue heart bracelet.

Just a handful of necklaces

Knotted Pearls

My first attempt at pearl knotting. I used pink cord and green glass rounds.

Beaded wire link necklace

Give us a ring!

Beaded rings!

STILL HAVE FUN

The beads used in this macrame bracelet are vintage. They came in my first bead set, which was the first thing my parents bought for me when the Toys R Us opened up near my house when I was 3 years old.

Just Bracelets Continued...

Just Bracelets

A couple of bracelets I made. The purple one was given to my cousin on her birthday.

I'm Still Here!

Don't worry folks, I've not disappeared off the face of the Earth, my laptop is broken (again) so I've been using my mum's instead. It's a bit slower than mines (or than it was before it broke, another virus McAfee didn't pick up methinks), so uploading pictures might take too long. I will attempt to get it back up and running ASAP, but I can't promise anything. Until then, keep sparkling!
