More Copper Jewellery

My new found love of copper continues with some more new designs. I'll be taking some of these along to a gallery in Edinburgh on Monday.

I'm at Morningside Makers Market this Saturday, the market takes place in the Columcille Hall, next door to the Dominion Cinema in Morningside.

Commissions, Make Me A Thistle

I met a lady during the West End Craft Fair this year who was looking for a modern twist on the traditional Scottish thistle. She recently got back in touch with me and I've started work on a series of brooches and cufflinks for her.

Here is the cufflink design.

I will blog more about my progress and the design later, but thought it was worth sharing a sneak peek!

New Sales Venue

I just opened up a free shop on Big Cartel. The free option gives you 5 listings, with no commission fee when an item sells.

My AliBaliJewellery shop on there has 5 of my popular coral designs. I am considering upgrading to having more listing and the ability to point my own domain name to it. Big Cartel has some good functionality including the ability to create different options for customers at different price points within one listing.

Watch this space..........

Autumn is here!

Edinburgh has felt very autumnal over the last month, although we are supposedly going to get some late summer sun this week!

With autumn in mind, I've been adding some leaf imprint items to my shops.

Lots more still to be added over the next week, including some more new pendants, rings and earrings.

Exhibitors at the West End Craft Fair

I'm getting pretty excited, the West End Fair is now less than a week away! It starts on Saturday 6 August and runs until Sunday 28 August.

I am fairly organised now, just some more stock to finish, some pieces to collect from the Assay Office and then I am good to go.

I thought I'd share the work of some of my fellow exhibitors, now and during my updates throughout the fair.

Single Tier Bee Hotel by Wudwerx Mike will be exhibiting during the 1st week of the Fair, with his collection of premium wildlife habitats for your home and garden. My dad is the proud owner of one of Mike's Bee hotels and Bird boxes!

Manuscript Inital Letter M by Clare McCrory. Clare will be at the West End Fair from 15 August for 2 weeks. A freelance calligrapher and heraldic artist, her painted letters and cards make wonderful gifts. I recently bought a lovely painted letter as a baptism gift.

 Jenners & Scott Monument by Stephen O'Neil. Stephen is exhibiting for the full three weeks. He is a digital artist, drawing on the wealth of architecture within Scottish cities for his images, as well as iconic Scottish brands such as Iron Bru and Tunnocks. I have my eye on his Ramsay Gardens print!

The Bicycle of Choice Necklace by The Reworkd Workshop. Amanda is also exhibiting for the full three weeks. Amanda and husband Ryan work with antique typewriter keys and other charms to create on of a kind jewellery. This year, one of Amanda's necklaces shall be mine!

Edinburgh by Jerome Lorieau. Jerome is also exhibiting his photographs for the full 3 weeks. He's recently moved to Bristol, but back here for the festival.


I'm setting up this Thursday, which gives me time on Friday for any last minutes changes to my stall. I'll share some pictures once my stall is set up!

Edinburgh Festival West End Craft Fair 2011

3 weeks today the West End Craft Fair opens in Edinburgh and runs for the duration of the famous Edinburgh International Festival.

I will be exhibiting my jewellery from the 6 August to 28 August. Here are some photos from last year!

This is my second year at the fair and I am already getting excited about it! I'm frantically making stock to be better prepared than last year. It was hard to estimate how much stock I would need last year since it was my first time at the fair. This year I hope I am going in with my eyes open and better prepared.

Over the next few weeks I'm going to share my preparation for the fair here and I will also feature some of the other artists I met last year, who are exhibiting again this year and who have become great friends too!
