Well that was short and sweet ...

That had to be the shortest unemployment in the history of me. Acme let me go on the first of this month, and I've been offered a job at New Look today :D So I start on Saturday.

In other news, I've done a new design:



I've named it Repurposeful Suncatcher, because almost everything in it has been re-purposed. It measures just over a foot long, and consists of gems and beads hanging from, and held together by, chain and twisted steel wire. The blue glass beads and steel wire are new, but the other components are not. The purple plastic beads were originally part of a bracelet, and the chain and faceted plastic gems were re-purposed from this belt:



It's not available on Etsy, (it's been given to a bricks and mortar shop) but something very similar will be soon. I also have a few other suncatchers similar to it. Click the image to go to those, and my other suncatchers:

New job, and more ACEOs

I went for an interview yesterday, for a Jewellery Assembler job at a place called Acme Jewellery. (No, Wile E. Coyote is not one of their customers.) I didn't really know what to expect, as I've never had an interview for that sort of job. I've had so many interviews for retail jobs, so I pretty much know what to do there, but this was different. So I didn't know how to prepare, which made me nervous. Luckily, my enthusiasm for the job must've shown through, because I got it! It was an interesting interview, because they not only interviewed me, they also took me into one of the workshops and showed me what they did. I did a bit of soldering and whatnot, then they asked me a few more questions. Questions like "Could you start on Monday?" To which, I of course said yes! I'm so happy, since jewellery making is my dream job :D

Recently, I also managed to list the last of my ACEOs:



Which are, of course, for sale in my DaWanda shop.
