New Ideas

New kiln, new ideas. Recently a design of mine got ripped off by someone, initially I got royally hacked off by it, but in the end decided that as I do this for calm and peace and it is my passion I had to let it go and discover other ways / methods to play. So here is what I am doing at the moment. I am using more and more other elements in my silver and I added a patina on the recessed part to give definition. Time consuming and absorbing and I have to say I was delighted with the end result. I have another 7 or 8 in the process at the moment, and will post them when they are ready.

Coming to the end....

The end of the year is nearly here, and my fingers are frazzled. I must have made forty gadzillion little peapods, each one a little bit different, and so many have new little homes. These last two months took me by surprise, I wasn't really prepared for the Christmas rush. Next year I will be! So, time to sit back, ponder on next year and dream a little. Thank you to all my lovely customers.
Oh by the way, I am having a massive new year sale (50% off) on my gemstone, lampwork, crystal and sterling items for the new year. If you would like more details sign up for the newsletter with the link above. Have a very happy and restful holiday period.

About Green Treasury

Love that my peapods have again been in a treasury!

Silver Peapod Jewellery

My little peapod family are growing. I now have one, two, three, four and five peas in a pod pendants, and have also added some charms. I have been asked to make peapod cufflinks a few times, so they have now also been added to the gang. New more de-luxe peapods are coming with leaf embellishments.

Silver Pea Pods

I saw somewhere a little pea pod made out of wire jewellery, and just loved the idea. They represent the members in a family and I thought them to be gorgeous. I thought about it afor a while and wondered if they would look nice in solid silver. So... one day I was playing around with my silver and was really pleased with the results. I put that one online at Etsy and it sold straight away. That was it, I was hooked and started making them for all size families. They go up to five at the moment, which is a chunky little beast. I decided that I would also make them available for one. I know it's a bit odd but some people are just totally complete by themselves. It was also an option to be able to add an extra one if you already have a pod of a couple. So here they are.

Launch of New Website

Thrilled to announce the launch of my new website. I had a free website before, that I was very pleased with but objectively it really wasn't very good. There was so much faffing to put light box pictures up and to get the pay pal buttons to add items to my shop. Now I have taken the plunge and paid for a site and the difference in use and look is incredible. Anyone wondering whether or not they should invest should really think about taking the plunge. It looks so much more professional, it is so much easier and I think it is hugely more attractive than before.

That's my news for this week. If you pop over to the site to have a peek, there's a little yes/no poll (anonymous) and there's a mailing list to fill in if anyone is interested in hearing when there are new items going up. The pea pods will be up soon!!! (I love my pea pods).
