Introducing Saskia.n design's

 

 Saskia was first introduced to resin at Art School in 2005.  In 2010 she decided to make a few resin pieces to go with an exhibition and things grew from there. 

 Her first works were simple solid resin pieces featuring images from her own work and later expanded into stamps and coins.  The more she made, the more she explored new ideas. 

She further expanded her range of stamps, imagery and materials by introducing bezel settings and other exciting findings. 

 She started to refine the work she was making and decided to “Brand” it.  She went with a simple name saskia.n Designs, which is solely dedicated to my Resin Jewellery.

Saskia now makes  a wide variety of jewellery items using just about anything she can stick in resin.  The range has expanded from what were originally pendants and brooches to rings, earrings and even the occasional set of cufflinks. 

Saskia moved back to Auckland in January and has started going to markets over the last few months. " It is a new and exciting venture, and a great way to meet new people.  It is really interesting to hear what people like, or want, and take on new suggestions and ideas."

Her  work is inspired by nostalgia and a love of paper.  She loves  bringing life to old stamps and coins by immortalising them in resin

Saskia thank you so much for the chat. And we look forward to seeing you on the 18th of June.

Introducing Amy's button Jewellery

  Amy started making button necklaces in 2007. "There are so many beautiful old buttons that aren't being used, and I like to give them a new life, and show them off a bit. A lot of people have very fond memories of buttons, and at markets I constantly get people telling me about how they used to play with nana's button tin."

   She uses  a mixture of new and vintage buttons strung onto strong waxed cord to create her necklaces, which are all one-offs. One of her favourite things about making the necklaces is coming up with fun new colour combinations. She has a lot of repeat customers who always tell her they get heaps of comments when they wear one of her pieces. 

She also sell a range of button rings, earrings, hairclips and brooches made from both new and vintage buttons. They're affordable and make excellent gifts.

Amy loves selling her jewellery at markets.  "It's great fun, and I do it as much as possible. Crafternoon Tea has really great vibes, and it's always exciting to see what the other crafty regulars have been making! "

"Besides making my button jewellery, I teach children's art classes, work in a gallery and volunteer at art events. My main passions are drawing and painting, and I have just finished a degree in visual art."

Amy is a regular at Crafternoon Tea. Be sure to check out her beautiful work on the 18th of June. Thanks so much for your time Amy. Keep up the Crafty work : )
