I've been busy with a few craft fairs not many and I'm glad as I've had an absolutely amazing response to the Shrink art bracelet I posted last week. I've already had people ordering and paying up front for them - which is great. I've also been making quite a few Christmas cards for customers.
This week I made a necklace with some polyshrink that was left over from another project. These bits make for unusual shapes which in turn makes the necklace impossible to recreate and totally unique. I've used the same design on the pieces just because I like it and it was already out. I've used doubled up lilac satin ribbon instead of using beads because I like the idea that you can adjust the length of the necklace to suit the outfit and neckline of your clothing.

Here is one of the cards I've been commissioned to make -
So there you have it. Now that you've seen what I've made why not pop on over to Wendy's blog to see what all my fellow crafter's have been making.

Wow, love that necklace (the colours are fab and the detail is stunning) and that card looks amazing.
Beautiful and colourful as ever - hope to see these in the flesh (so to speak!) in Disley!
I love the necklace so pretty and so different
Your necklace is really lovely - purple is such a gorgeous colour.
The lilac shrink is beautiful. The colours really stand out and the composition does it so much justice. A lovely piece of work.

I'm loving what you're doing with the shrink art stuff (am I calling it the right thing?). I know what you mean about headaches, too. Well, anyway, that necklace is lovely.
