Hello all! It’s my first time posting on the forum so I just wanted to say hello. I’ve been live on Folksy for just over a week so it’s all very new and exciting. I make charm and gemstone jewellery, do take a look at my shop here:

Hi, I’m new to the forum, but been live on Folksy since last year - I make pretty lightweight handbags, Christmas decorations and assorted other bits and bobs. I’m also a writer and artist. Sometimes there’s a crossover resulting in poems with sewing metaphors running through them!

It can be a bit intimidating because everyone who sells on folksy makes such amazing stuff! It’s nice to be part of the community though

Hi I have just opened our new shop and really hope you like it. I’ve only got a few items in there at the moment but will start adding to it over the next few weeks. I have been making crochet homecrafts for many years and have now been encouraged by family and friends to share my work so really hope you enjoy it. Any constructive critism welcome!! Thanks Lin

From as early as I can remember I have always loved drawing. My most memorable childhood presents, for birthday or Christmas, were crayons or paint sets. My favourite lessons at school were those I could draw in: geography, physics, history and, of course, art. When I started studying at Bournville School of Art I was in heaven. ALL the lessons were in art. We were exposed to all aspects of art: life drawing, painting, ceramics, print, photography, sculpture, textiles, still life, jewellery, 3D and the history of art and design. My working life has been in graphic design, commercial print and advertising - well food needs to be put on the table. Today, I have returned to my roots and create unique works of art that I choose to present as handmade jewellery.

Hi All! I’m Gemma, I’m brand new to Folksy and brand new to selling my hand-made wares so this is a very new adventure for me! I’m already seeing so many beautiful items on here!

By day I’m a prescription clerk in a local doctor’s surgery but by night I like to get crafty. I’ve been making things since I was too little to remember. My mother rarely saw me without scissors and sticky tape in my hands and not much changes as I get older (although I’m a little less reliant on sticky tape to hold things together these days!).

I’m always on the lookout for new ideas to add to my repertoire and will be adding new items all the time so watch this space.

All the materials I use are sourced from the UK and all goods are made from scratch by me. Many of the fabrics I use are re-purposed from long forgotten items of unworn clothing hidden at the back of wardrobes so you’ll find plenty of one-off items.
