There’s nothing like a nice, clean, tidy workshop….. and mine is nothing like a nice, clean, tidy workshop! From October, when the Christmas orders start to come in, it’s sometimes tough just keeping on top of the general tidiness of the workshop, and by now a serious spring clean is in order. With Valentine’s Day having been and gone for another year, mid-February means time for a ‘reset’. I’ll be shutting shop for a short while to give the place a thorough clean, put things back the way they should be, and to go through all the little notes I left myself about new designs, modifying existing ones, and all the website and Etsy updates I just haven’t made time for.
Here are just a couple of my favourite makes of the month. You can’t beat working with sterling silver. As much as I love copper, the extra weight of silver certainly adds a certain something to a piece and truly makes these money clips something special. I finally got around to making a brass clip too, something that’s been on the cards for a while. The photo is a lightweight prototype made from an off-cut, but the proper stuff is on order and there’ll be a new product out soon!
You can still browse all our current items on the website, but everything is now listed as ‘out of stock’ during the break. I’m aiming to start re-stocking by mid-March. Responding to enquires may also take longer than usual, but I’ll be back soon! Okay, time to make a start on that spring clean.
