A little sneaky sneaky at the earrings I made to match the blue Labradorite necklace. The customer requested I match the beads along the chain, and I also mirrored the moon motif. A happy quick and easy commission. ☺️ #jewellery #designermaker #handmade

A pair of silver stud earrings. A moon in a circle with dangling beads below it.

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff! If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now. We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

💙 Blue 💙 I was SO pleased to finally wave off this lush necklace last week. 😍 #jewellery #designermaker #recycledsterlingsilver www.instagram.com/p/DQUODo_DCr...

A one of a kind pendant of deep blue Labradorite, set in recycled sterling silver with moon detail and blue lace Agate beads on the chain.

Dragon ownership is a big responsibility. Owning a book full of dragons? Absolutely zero responsibility. The choice is clear– buy a dragon anyway. But if you’re having trouble sourcing a real dragon, you can buy this art book to tide you over until you find one: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jai...

✨ HOW TO: support artists for $0.00 ✨ - leave a like! - repost their work - more eyes!! - comment on their posts! (an emoji goes a long way!) all of this means so much to artists and helps immensely!! just a reminder that support does NOT always have to be financial 🥰🤍✨

OK, so I said the revamp was gonna take a week... in actuality, it's taken more like a solid month of DIY, throwing paint around, filling wall holes, and evicting spiders. But now it feels like an entirely different space 👌 Still things to do of course, but we'll get there!

A jewellery workshop with tools and racking and benches. Fresh white walls and a still drying painted floor in grey.

Rachael Harman @haresandwolves.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

This is my workshop right now. The ceiling is repaired, new lights have been installed, the walls are getting a fresh coat of white, and we built a new bench. It's taken an age (a week) but the revamp is almost done!

Rachael Harman @haresandwolves.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

The workshop is out of bounds until this flippin heat bogs off again. There's no way in heck you can persuade me to light a torch in this weather, when my (badly insulated) workshop is south facing. Nope. Absolutely not. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you want to make your backyard a safe haven for lesser dragons, you must keep a close eye on your pets. While it is unlikely that a curious kitten will be able to cause a dragon physical harm, the egos of these small wyrms are as fragile as they are beautiful. #dragons #dragonart #cats #kittens

Sometimes I feel very silly. I've been pricing up how much it would be to upgrade my earring stands and worrying about the expense... when I could have just made my own the whole damn time. 🙄🤦‍♀️ I forget that I can actually MAKE things other than jewellery 🤣

Oh! And I'm getting rid of that awful green on the walls. I splattered it on there as a quick "ahh this should look nice!" before I moved in, instantly hated it, and unfortunately it's never grown on me. I have zero idea of what I shall replace it with, but the decision has been made!

Rachael Harman @haresandwolves.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

I think I mentioned here that I'm planning on replacing the workshop celing (among other things 👀) this year. Well, I spent a chunk of today pricing materials up. I probably shouldn't have, given my melty brain, but I always feel fizzy when I spend all day doing nothing.

I wanted to ask actually; Are there any other #hypermobile #makers on here?? I'm having some quite painful issues with my left hand atm. My joints seem even more flexible than usual and my knuckles in particular are popping out of joint a lot. Its not even my dominate hand. 😩

Oops... my borax cone has had enough of my abuse. I mean, I have been using it since 2014-ish, so it's allowed to give up on me I guess. #JewellerLife #Makersgonnamake

A borax cone that's split across the front; a big chunk has fallen off.

I'll be at the Leicester Guildhall Summer Craft Fair this weekend; Saturday 28th. We are open from 10am till 5pm and I'll have my usual array of shinies to tempt visitors 💎🌟 Do visit if you can! If Jewellery isn't your thing, there's a great selection of crafts, art and food to discover too.

I'm resizing and fixing a signet ring today, that's split with age. I had it all done, shaped it gently on my ring stretcher, and it's split somewhere else. 🤦‍♀️ So now I'm replacing the whole shank I guess! Bah!

#MarchMeetTheMaker day 6! ⚒️ Tools and Materials ⚒️ I've got a whole workshop full of tools... but the ones I use the most are still my trusty hand tools! A saw, tweezers, a hammer, and my pendant motor. (Which is a weird cross between a fancy dremmel and a dentists drill 🤣)

A selection of jewellers tools; tweezers, a piercing saw, brass hammer etc.

A selection of silver wire, sheet and chain.

And now for those with a more culinary bent: Eat the rich! Again this is humorous and not a call to do something illegal! #BlueSkyNightMarket www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19710411...

A colourful embroidered patch with the words “eat the rich” on it, with a little knife and fork motif.

Super sneak peek of two new patches! I just wanted to make them obscenely bright and cheerful colours, to counterpoint the message. OBVIOUSLY this is satire, a protest if you will, since apparently they can’t just be taxed. I’ll have these up on my Ko-fi shop early next week for the UK.

A photo of two embroidered patches on a workbench with an ipad next to them. The brightly coloured patches read “guillotine the rich” and “eat the rich”

Note to self; Buy a lockable cupboard for the workshop, so that your platinol doesn't degrade in the sun and become useless. 👎 (Thankfully there wasn't much left anyway.)
