At the Christmas Fayre...

C.P. Creations

I recently started making a range of jewellery about 4 months ago, what inspired me to begin creating my own was the fact that shops charged so much when the materials to make them was nowhere near the price they made you pay. I originally planned to just make for myself, family and friends but then when I started I found a passion for it, and C.P Creations was born.

I began with just simple shamballa style bracelets then went on to teach myself new ideas, I now make anything ranging from earrings to bracelets, phone charms to bag charms, necklaces to anklets and I’ve even made a couple of stylish dog collars. I am self-taught and forever experimenting with new ideas.

Nicola Morse Jewellery

I create jewellery from my handmade polymer clay beads and pendants. I also work with copper which I etch with my own designs. Some of my pieces combine both of these techniques. My jewellery is original and each piece is unique.

At the Christmas 2012 Fayre...

Cristy's Handmade Costume Jewellery

I started making my jewellery as a hobby about 4-5 years ago and I was self taught. I gradually learnt the basic beading stitches to make different designs over this period until I was confident enough to sell them, not to make a living but mostly to continue financing a costly hobby. When I thought the quality was up to a professional standard I wanted, it gave me more courage to attend exhibitions and craft events.

I make a wide range of different items including beaded rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces and these are my own designs that are different from the normal jewellery that is sold. I sell my items at very competitive prices, this gives everyone a chance to buy something and I hope remind them of my work.

What will you be selling at the Spring fayre?

I will be selling jewellery including necklaces, bracelets and earrings created from my own handcrafted polymer clay beads

What are your favourite materials to work with?

I work with polymer clay (Fimo) to make my beads which are baked to harden. These beads together with other spacer beads made of wood, silver, bronze and copper are used to create my jewellery.

What inspires your creations?
I am inspired by pattern, colour and geometric shapes which I use in my designs.

What will you be selling at the Spring fayre?

I will be selling handmade jewellery, made with Swarovski crystals or semi-precious gemstones along with jewellery made from a large range of other beads including millefori, fire polished crystals and czech glass.  There will be birthstone jewellery for all 12 months of the year and gemstone jewellery made for its natural properties to help in all sorts of situations. I will also be taking orders for any custom jewellery you may require or like designed. I have a new range of charm bracelets as well as some childrens/teen jewellery. For the Spring Fayre I have am also offering free delivery or post and packing for any orders so if there is not exactly your size or what you would like then it won't cost you any extra to place a order. Prices start at just £2.99 so definitely something for everyone.

What are your favourite materials to work with?

I really like working with 925 sterling silver, although a lot of my pieces offered are in good quality silver plate to offer more value for money. Of course any of these could be made up in 925 sterling silver. I love using all different types and shapes of Swarovski crystals, especially the AB varieties that add even more sparkle!

What inspires your creations?

Many of my creations are inspired by fairly classic upmarket designs. A lot of my gemstone jewellery is made with their healing properties in mind and I enjoy creating jewellery that is not only pretty but functional. Gemstone jewellery can help in a huge variety of ways, from giving confidence to the wearer to helping with indigestion!
