Fit for purpose...

I made a chain bracelet as a Christmas present for a friend but it didn't work, the weave was too big for her wrist and it looked out of place.

It wasn't a bad item, it just didn't suit the person it was made for. I design things for a living and one of the most important elements of any design is the end user, I made something without any real thought for the end user and surprisingly it didn't work. Lesson learned!

First blog entry... EEEK!

So, I've had this blog sitting here doing nothing since I first heard about Blogger... Now I've decided it's probably time to start doing something with it!

Inspired by my crafty friend Nikki's excellent blog, I figured this might be a good outlet to show off my creative side.

When I get a bit of spare time, I like to make things out of silver, often I make shiny expensive scrap metal but sometimes, just sometimes I make things that turn out OK! I currently make simple rings and chains but as my skills progress I hope the things I make can live up to the ideas in my head.
