Bit of an update....!

Well it been a while since I've last posted. That's mainly because I'm so overstretched at the moment! Sadly, I've had to cut down on the amount of work I know produce as my other work commitments have really taken over. The upside to this is I'll now have more time to dedicate to producing new and exciting items as well as some very exciting new ranges, using new techniques i've been able to learn thanks to members of Crafteroo.

I'm now producing a range of stained glass items and i'm also combining handmade candles into my product list to compliment candle arches and tea lights i'm about to start selling- exciting. Anyway- just a brief note to say, i'm back- and now blogging 3 times a week!!

GlassKanvas.com is back online!

After a long break Glass Kanvas is back online! I'm busy adding stock to it and it's a long process but it should be stocked to the brim over the next few weeks!




I'm adding a full catalogue of designs plus the bespoke ones such as Tapestry, Aurora etc that hall become my hallmark!


I'm so busy at the moment. As most of you who read the blog know, I also help run the Crafteroo Craft forum which is a lot more work than it looks! I'm also getting the dichroic glass tutorials site, DichroicGlass.co.uk back in full working order. Helen from Blue Fairy Designs is helping me out a lot with it, i'm sooo grateful! Thanks Helen!!


Another bit of news.... I'm going to be an author! I can't say too much at the moment, but... I'm currently working on 3 (yes 3) books! I'll keep you updated as soon as I know more but the first one is in the bag!

Crafts for Comic Relief

The Crafteroo Craft Forum have teamed up with the UK Craft Auction site Folksy, to help raise funds for Comic Relief.

Organised by Kerry from PennyDog Jewellery, members of the forum have each donated pieces to a collaborative shop of handcrafted items. Folksy in tern, have kindly waived the fees for these items so more funds can go to such a good cause!



Please visit the Crafteroo Comic Relief shop here and help support charity work here and overseas.

Save Money Using Ebay...without getting on seller's nerves!

Ok...so the blog has gone a bit consumer crazy lately but I'm on a bit of a mission!
Anyway... there are plenty of bargains to be had on ebay. Everyone's heard of auction sniper tools...they lurke around auctions putting late bids on things and driving sellers crazy!

There is a way to save money using ebay another way... a bit sneaky...but it's a win-win for you and the seller!

First...hunt down items using spelling errors on ebay...using websites such as
http://www.auction-typos.co.uk

These are great sites to mooch around on as there are loads of items on there with simple spelling errors, meaning that prospective bidders can't find them, therefore next to no (or no) bids!

Next, take a note of the item details and hop on over to BigCrumbs.com . Buy the item at the bargain price you've found it at and buy it via the bigcrumbs site and recieve money back from it!
Win-win!
