Update on Facebook Competition

Due to some unforseen circumstances on Facebook, i will now be running the competition on my blog. 

Once we reach 500 fans I will be running a prize draw giveaway, where one lucky person will receive an item from me worth £50! (either a handmade pure silver piece or a fingerprint jewellery bracelet).

Apologys to to the people who became fans on FB, but it was found that running a giveaway in that way on their site was against the rules.

Anyway, good luck - should run smoothly this time ;)

FaceBook Competition

I've just set up a competition on my Facebook Page  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chelmsford/Kelly-Kusel-Designs-Handmade-Silver-Jewellery/207493869531?ref=ts

I'm aiming to get 500 fans on my page and once thats happened everyone will be 'placed in a hat' and a name will be picked to receive either one of my jewellery designs or a fingerprint charm bracelet worth £50.

It's been a great success so far, the page has gained an extra 60 fans already. 

Keep it coming! :)

First Fingerprint Item

I completed my first fingerprint jewellery request this week.  The customer was from wales and so I had to send out some putty for her to be able to cast her childs fingerprint. 

I was wondering how it would turn out due to the way the fingerprint was being made, but I was really pleased with the results and as the picture shows none of the detail was lost.


I think it looks really lovely and i look forward to hopefully hearing what the customer thinks to.

Petite Cake Balls

Here's another shout out to a favourite website of mine - this time its all about food!! :)

Petite Cake Balls (http://www.petitecakeballs.co.uk/) were set up as an alternative to the traditional celebration cake or box of chocolates.

Originally from America these delicious bites are made with cake mix blended with frosting and then coated with yummy choclate.  Available in a range of flavours such as, Vanilla, Chocolate Brownie, Jaffa Cake, Strawberries and Vanilla, Honeycomb Chocolate Crunch. Available in boxes of 12 (2 flavours) and 24 (4 flavours.

Petite Cake Balls are also available for events - great for baby showers, valentines, weddings or just a thank you gift.

Shout Outs

While working on updating my website, i decided that i needed a professional looking logo.  I was recommended Aimee Bee Designs (http://www.http//www.aimeebeedesigns.etsy.com).  She was extreme quick in knowing what i needed and the look i was going for, just by asking a couple of questions.  Aimee had my finished logo waiting on my computer less than 48hrs after my request. I would definately recommend her and she is very reasonably priced to.  Aimee helps you to create your business cards and leaflets to.  Check out my finished logo below :) :-


Fantastic isn't it!  I absolutely love it, sounds silly but when I see it I can't stop smiling. :)

If interested contact her via Facebook to under Aimee Bee Designs.

I'm Back!

Well after a well earned rest i am back and raring to go.  I ordered my tumbler last night, previously i was sanding each item by hand, but that turned out to be far to costly time wise, plus after a few hrs i starts to hurt!

I am now starting to focus on fingerprint jewellery and hand, footprint and paw print jewellery. 

I think nothing shows love more, than keeping a memento of someone special close to you.

I'll also be making some changes to the website to accompany this. 

So it's all systems go, just where to start??

Update

It's been a busy week here. Firstly trying to book up some craft events for later in the year
and secondly, getting ready introduce our new range of fingerprint jewellery. Each piece will
be handmade by me. People will be able to purchase online, visit me at a show, book a jewellery party or I can visit their home. All have free delivery.

I am also looking into also providing hand and footprint pendants and also a version for pet lovers.

Also, have you got a picture that you treasure? What if you could have this on a piece of jewellery so that you can wear it close to you always.

All of this coming up in the near future.
