My name is Carole. I have been making jewellery for over 10 years, I studied silversmithing, jewellery and allied crafts for 2 years at London Guildhall University.
I decided to make dog related items after spending far too many years selling my handmade jewellery at craft fairs and later at wedding shows. I have always found the selling part of my work the hardest & if I'm honest never really enjoyed this part either. so I decided to start really enjoying all aspects of my business.
I have had a dog in my life since I was 9 years old and my latest four legged friend pictured below is the inspiration for all of the work I have created here on my web site. His name is Marley & he is a 3 year old black GSD.
I made myself a silver GSD pendant which received quite a lot of attention when I was out & about which encouraged me to make more dog related items & attend some dog shows.
I have not been disappointed, there are many great and varied dog shows out there from obedience to agaility I have sampled a few now & have thoroughly enjoyed every one. It is great to work and be surrounded by wagging tails and in my experience the people of the dog world have been equally fantastic, kind and welcoming people and always willing to help out with gazebo errecting!!
News: we have a new member of our K9 family. Her name is Kyla, she is a white GSD 5 years old & she is Marleys mum! She came to live with us in August & has settled in really well, she is a lovely sweet girl.
I hope you enjoy browsing my web site... if you have an unusual breed that would like me to put on one of my products please email me I can adapt any of my items to any breed imaginable at no extra charge.
Why not come and see me at a show this year, you'll find a list that I'll be exhibiting at on the 'links' page.
