Shipwreck Studio
Shipwreck Studio is the result of found treasures collected from journeys past and present. Beach glass became my fascination as a child when searching for fossils or pirate treasure.
I live in a small town along the eastern shore of the Chesapeake with one traffic light, but lots of history. Married to, two dogs a rabbit and a husband...should change the order on that.
My jewelry designs come from the love for these vanishing gems. All my beach glass is genuine and handpicked from many beaches here and abroad. I use sterling silver and also hand sculpted fine silver in my designs. Organic to Sultry, jeans to black dress. Custom orders are always welcome.

This is what we have on offer:
Poetry

A poem made especially for you: you can choose everything from the content to the colour schemes, themes, and decorations. This beautiful crafted poem will be displayed in a frame and would make the perfect gift for any occasion or for someone of any age. (You can choose to have the poem we write unique for you or available so others can purchase the poem if they wish).
Speech Writing
Going to an occasion where you have to deliver a speech? Don't know what to say? Lost for words? Well look no further Sparkly Links offer a service, we do everything but make the speech for you!
Sparkly's Canvases

Sparkly's Jewellery
We are working on many items of jewellery, and accessories. (And you will soon be able to design your own with our Jewellery customisation software using Flash).
We have many ideas also that are coming soon:
* Story books with illustrations will be available. The storybook can include your child's name as the main character, or even be a one of a kind story made especially for your child.
* Having a party? We can make party bags tailored for your individual taste.
Charity Work
Charity work is very important to Sparkly Links. With every couple of orders we are going to donate one of our framed poems or a voucher to charity. The charities we have helped so far are Huskies in Need, Jessica's Ball, Ella's Journey to Raise Awareness, Jade's Smiles. We have donated a poem or a voucher for a poem to these charities. We have also got some projects in the pipeline, to publish a poetry book and all the proceeds will go to LittleMissEvie's Children's Cancer Fund Raiser for named trusts. We are also going to do a fundraising activity were we write 12 poems in 12 hours and then we are going to add illustrations and have this book published and the proceeds will go to Max's Fundraising Charity.
We need all the help we can get really, as we wish to be able to donate to more charities and help out as much as we can. If you require any more information please contact us at: sparkly.links@gmail.com

Crafters Challenge Featured Business - Willow Crafts
Willow Crafts
Hi,
We are based in sunny Suffolk! We started making handmade jewellery 2 years ago and our collection grew so much we started to sell at local craft fairs. After suggestions from friends we then embarked on children's jewellery making parties starting from the age of 5. The children make a much as they want from keyrings, bracelets, necklaces and for the older ones earrings, memory wire bracelets and chokers. The Mum's love it as there is no need for party bags as what they make they take home in a lovely organza bag!
We have now enlarged our range to include wine charms, beaded rings and our very popular napkin rings. We have been very busy lately with our napkin rings for the wedding market. We make them in a varitey of colours to match the couple's colour schemes. We can include names on them (up to 8 letters per name) so people can take them home as a favour.
Why not have a look at out facebook page to see all our latest designs!
