Folksy Friday: 16.07.10 - Lucite Flowers...and then some!

For anyone who's been on Mars this week and doesn't know already, I took delivery of 5400 Lucite flowers last Thursday afternoon. I was so excited, though I must admit that I was a little LESS excited after sorting them all out!

The BIG DAY  dawns and my beautiful, longed for Lucite flowers arrive

Work In progress - No eating at the dining table for a couple of days (didn't go down too well with Hubby)

2 days in and there are NOWHERE NEAR enough bags considering that amount of blood sweat and tears that went into sorting them out.

It was worth it, though, to see my first 10 bags of Button Flowers disappear un under 2 hours!

SALES SO FAR

To date, I've sold my Lucite flowers to 8 different designers:-

Linden Tree Designs, Squintessential, Just 4 Me, STEAMPUNKSTORM, Iyobo Design, Mish73, Little Ann and Poppyfields Design

I'd like to say a big thank-you to all of you for supporting me so well.

Here is just a glimpse of their work..(Just 4Me and Mish73 are currently making stuff)

  2. Thanks for including my earrings. : )
    I made a bracelet with the flowers but I'm not sure yet if this is what I wanted, will have to think about it : ) But they are all so beautiful and so many, difficult to keep my hands off... would need some more idea how to use them, lol.

  5. I think we've only used our dining table once to eat off- its alway covered in my crafty stuff. Luckily hubby doesn't mind. We'll use it for eatting off when we have children but until then, knees are good enough!
    I keep eying up your flowers. May have to get some myself

  6. Thank you so much for featuring that necklace, it's one of my most "proud of" creations!!

    I'm *really* enjoying playing with my lovely lucite flowers. And I'm re-discovering my wire working skills, after a while away from them, which is also great. Going to have to come back for some more flowers soon, methinks...
