Celebration times...come on....

... a celebration to last throughout the 'week'.

Enough of showing my age.

Oh what a week i am having.  
Firstly ive successfully finished some gorgeous fused glass cufflinks that have turned out beautifully and im happy to be able to have them for sale at The Little Cufflink Shop



 Fin has a wonderful selection of cufflinks ranging from chic and classy to quaint and quirky. A one stop shop for all your cufflinks, if you don't see what you desire Fin goes out of his way to search for what you seek.

Pop over and have a good old browse whilst having a coffee or tea break. Save the site to your bookmarks too.

Secondly.

Im on a winning streak this week. First i won the wonderful accolade of #BizPromotion of the day by Great Biz Awards  via Twitter
Then today i have found out that i have won the #BlueBiz award from Blue Biz Net

I am thrilled to bits with these awards because i have been climbing that uphill struggle to get myself well again. Being recognised in this way means so much to me and encourages me to continue. The new clients that i am gaining also give me that raw pleasure of knowing that someone is wearing my work and loves it. This is the ultimate accolade for any artisan.

Now last but not least.

Google+ Page

I have finally joined with Google+ pages and if i have done it all correctly my blogger profile should be linked up nicely. However, as with everything Google im finding it VERY difficult indeed. Despite searching forums and googling Google it isnt so straightforward. Why don't Google make things a little easier for us no techy minded folk to use. Explain it to me like im a 10 year old and i should be able to understand, to be honest i think a present day 10 year old will find it a doddle compared to this 45 year old.

Now if i have everything all set up correctly this post should go straight to my Google+ page not my Google+ profile. In case it does not and i have to write posts separate my Google+ page is Artisan Designs

Please please give me tips, help and advice on anything Google+ in very basic terms as i really do want to work with Google+ pages much more (for obvious reasons). Im confidant that any help etc posted will also be of aid to so many others who, like me, struggle with Google.

Well, im off now to create something as ive been at this Google stuff all day so far and its almost 3pm. I have brain ache and need to allow my creative mind take control once more.

I thank you in advance for any help or advice offered. I do need it.

Sneaky Peek


I thought that i would share with you what ive been working on recently. There's quite a few. Some will be added to my store at Masato London others will be available in Leeds at the Fashion Show on the 18th of October 2013.

If you see anything that you wish to purchase drop me a message here or via my Twitter profile via DM here










The fused glass pendant in the box is also the item in the second photo. I added the box as an example of how your jewellery will arrive to you. A lovely hinged presentation gift box at no extra cost. Some items will need to be placed in a different style box due to the style or size of the jewellery. However each description online does explain the style of gift box very clearly to you.

The two items that are together are sold as a gift set, the two photos underneath the twin set show them in their singular glory. 

If you genuinely wish to purchase something i am very happy to answer your questions.

Don't forget you can find me over at ArtisanGaynor
