Mollie Makes magazines for auction on ebay

My Mollie Makes issue 1
Thanks to a twitter friend, Rachel Jinks aka @MogsTogs (her website is linked here), I found out that I might be able to make some money out of my old issues of Mollie Makes. Mollie Makes is a cult UK craft magazine that started in 2011. I have been a subscriber from the beginning and really love the style of it, especially the artist features.
I had a number of issues just waiting to be recycled until I happened to see a tweet from @MogsTogs saying that she got 50 pounds on ebay for issue 1! So I quickly removed that from the recycling pile! My copy is in mint condition and has an unopened craft kit on the front so it has a good chance of finding a new home. And it currently has a bid of £49.01!
I've listed all the copies that I have on ebay, with my auctions finishing on Saturday 3rd March.
It is so true that one person's trash is another person's treasure! I'll blog and let you know how much I made! And thanks to Rachel for tweeting about it. Otherwise my copies will have been recycled by now!

Silver clay on the BBC

By
If you are reading this blog then you probably already know that I make jewellery with a material called metal clay. It's not a well known material so I was really pleased to see it featuring on a programme on BBC1. The programme is called Countryfile and a metal clay artist called Emma Mitchell was featured, interviewed by Anita Rani. Emma talked about the mental health benefits of getting out into the countryside and getting inspiration from nature and natural surroundings. They picked leaves and other natural materials and used them to make moulds and silver jewellery. It's fantastic that silver clay was featured on TV as it raises awareness of the material. The metal clay world is quite small but I haven't met Emma yet although she is also teaching at the Y ou Can Make It metal clay conference in March so I am looking forward to meeting her there. You can watch the programme here on the BBC iplayer until 6th March 2018 (but only if you're in the UK unfortun...

As part of my role for the London Jewellery School I've been writing the Business Matters column in Making Jewellery magazine for six months now. We've been doing an interview series with jewellers on different aspects of jewellery business. However, this month I am actually featured! I wrote an article on getting press coverage which would be relevant for all small businesses. The magazine is available from Smiths and larger supermarkets so do check it out!
