Helen Jane jewellery

Ok, so where has June and July gone and nearly all of August?
I know, I've been busy, but not with any jewellery.

Sorry.
I know that is what you're here for.

I have had time to make a ring for a special friend 🧡
So I'll just put that here for a minute.

I've just dropped off a little bit of stock to
And I am starting prep for 🎄. I won't say the actual C word.

Things will hopefully be calming down in a bit. I'm sorry, but I've just been enjoying myself toooooooo much.

I hope you have too.

Love to you all, thanks for the patience 😘

Quick little sit at the bench today to make these stacking rings.
I made one last week as part of the 10 days of silver jewellery making by Jewellers academy.
I thought these 2 would go nicely with it. It's an amber and blue agate.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Hot chocolate with Baileys, anyone?

Nearly at the end of another year.
I've been lucky to have some great markets, sold some jewellery, and met some wonderful people, and I thank you, one and all.

There have been highs and lows for everyone this year, I just hope you are all managing to keep on going, and I am sending good vibes. Just keep swimming is my motto, and it works for me. Just be kind to yourself.

My target this year was to get my packaging sorted, which I just about managed 🙃. Big thanks to
And .

Next year, I want to have my own hallmark, so watch this space. It may take me 11 months again 🤣.

So this is a big thankyou 🙏 I am very grateful.
Now I am turning off, celebrating a birthday tomorrow, another year flown by and some well-deserved time with family. See you in the New Year 💛💛💛

TTFN 👋

What a wonderful market yesterday, .

I'd like to thank Grace for all of her hard work.
studios for hosting us.

It was so well organised, easy set up and pack away. Car parking massive bonus.
All of the staff, stallholders, and customers were so friendly.

It was very festive.
Thank you to everyone who turned up in the awful weather and supported all of the small businesses that were there.

4 down 1 to go.

It's like a whirlwind. I know there are others out there doing markets every day and with small independent shops trying to sell theirs and other makers wares. I take my hat off to you all.
For example locally there's:

Please shop small and at local businesses whenever you can. Every bit helps.

End of sermon.

Back to me 🤣.
3 markets down and 2 left to go.

The next venue is . It's been a long time since I've done a market there. It was pre Covid.

It's a lovely space and I can't wait.
It's on the same weekend as the Christmas market. You could even pop into to pick up some bits.

But I'll be in

There will be a wide selection of stalls selling Bristol's finest independent goods, including arts, ceramics, condiments, clothing, jewellery, and much, more!

HERE will have festive burgers provided by Son of a Bun, and The Deli will be selling wonderful cakes and hot beverages, including mulled cider!

If you want to get ahead with your Christmas shopping, then this is the perfect way to spend your Sunday.

It's nearly Christmas....sorry not sorry.

These are the perfect day to evening earrings. They've got tiny little glitter balls attached to them.

I will have a couple of pairs with me tomorrow at the Chocolate Quarter in Keynsham.

Come to the mini market they are hosting.

It's your chance to start festive shopping, have a look around the beautiful building and have a coffee and cake.

I expect they've got mince pies.
Never too early 😉

Here's a few more pieces that I've made over this last couple of days.I'll share a picture every day of what I have.

I have to cram in the making over the weekends now for all of my Xmas markets.

1. Because I was lazy over the summer and didn't make a thing, whoops 😬 (but really enjoyed myself)
2. Because of my real-life job.

So here you go.
Here are some bangles.
There will be 1 or 2 of everything, so if you see something you like, send me a message or come to one of my markets.

See previous post.

Have a good Sunday

Woke up to this tragic news today. Friends, the series kept me sane during the 10 years it was on. My children were babies,and I knew if I wanted some me time, what to do, go and watch Friends. I am so sad about this news. It's a travesty. I truly hope he can rest in peace. Goodbye, Matthew/Chandler Muriel Bing 💛💔

Hello all.
I know it's only October, but there's less than 10 weeks to Christmas, and I need to try and get all of my ducks in one basket......or is that eggs. I don't know anymore, haha 😅.

Anyway, in case some of you were wondering, these are the markets I will be doing before Christmas.

I will give more information, postcodes and times, etc, nearer each one.

I'm not at all techy, so apologies for the dodgy picture and writing over the top. I can't even use canva properly. 😆

Never mind,you get the jist. Hopefully, I will see you at one of these before I collapse in January.

Happy Friday, you're doing a great job 👍

Only 3 weeks until my first Christmas market, and what a great one to start with. It's at .ceramics studio on Arlington Road in St Anne's.
There are 10 of us selling our handmade wares, so there's no excuse for not getting your Christmas shopping sorted in 1 visit if that's your vibe. The bonus is that 10% of our sales will be going to . A charity close to a lot of peoples hearts. Also there will be lots and lots of tasty cakes made by us lot and Wendy's Mum, who is always the star of the show.
Here's a list of the sellers:

So there's an abundance of lovely gifts to buy, come along, and make yourself feel great.

Oh, also, I nearly forgot there will be a raffle and all of us will have a lovely prize in it. What's not to love. Take care and have a great weekend.

So, I've actually had a bit of time at the bench today, resizing and shining this ring up.

A lovely guy bought it for his partner from me as a surprise.

It was too big so they asked wether I could make it smaller.

With this ring it wasn't too bad. It's definitely trickier with a more lavish ring with stones.

Not a bad way to spend the end of a Bank Holiday weekend.

Have a good rest of the week. 😊

Just finished these. They will be coming with me tomorrow to the .

They are made out of a strip that I had patterned with leopard print 🐆. It was not long enough for a ring, so I cut it up to make a pair of earrings and a tag pendant.

Hope you like leopard print as I have another couple of pairs of earrings with the same print.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tmrw for the very 1st which coincides with shop independent day 2023. Come and support your local independent traders.

Hello 👋

Look at this absolutely beautiful Madagascar Labradorite that I got from Johnny In St Nics Corn Street Market.

I've finally had time whilst having my weekly jewellery tuition/chat and catch up with friends 🤭 .

It's finished and I love it. The band has been textured using a die from which gives it a lovely pattern. You just need to hammer the heck out of band whilst in the die.

The heart on the back isn't as hearty as I'd like, but you get the idea. You get to see the lush blue sheen through it.

Isn't it beautiful?

Day 6 of 10 days of silver jewellery making course with .

Shiny balls.

I thought this would be easy, making balls and joining them together, but just a little bit too long with the torch and you left with 1 massive ball instead of 3 small ones, whoops.

However that did mean I could also make a pendant to go with the earrings.

I did it in the end. I fused 3 small balls to make some cute little studs.

All of the things I've made will be for sale when I sort my self out. If you like the look of any of them holler me in my DMs.

I hope you're enjoying seeing the bits I'm making, caus I'm loving the process of making.

Hope your Monday hasn't been to blue 💙.

Take care and be kind to yourself.
