A little update from Lolabelle 💜
I know I’ve been a bit quiet lately and haven’t posted or made very much for a while. There are a few reasons for that.
Firstly, it has been far too hot to sit in my workshop. Wire wrapping and sweaty hands are not a good combination — the moisture can make the wire oxidise in a dull, slightly strange way, and I’d much rather wait than make pieces I’m not completely happy with.
Secondly, the day job has been extraordinarily busy, life has taken over a little recently, and I’ve also been finishing a rather big personal project… my first novel. 📚✨
But with the MK Handmade & Vintage Fair only a few weeks away, my focus is turning firmly back to Lolabelle. I want to make sure I have plenty of new stock and lots of new pendants ready for you all, and I have some absolutely gorgeous new stones waiting on my workbench — including a few I’ve never worked with before. I’m very excited to see what they become. 💎
September is shaping up to be a pretty big month, with both the MK Handmade & Vintage Fair and the release of my novel happening. One of those I am completely cool and comfortable about… the other I’m more than a little nervous about. 😂 But equally, I’m incredibly excited for both.
And I’ll be returning to YouTube this week too, so keep your eyes peeled for a new video.
It feels good to be getting back to the wire, the stones and Lolabelle again. 💜
