K and M Creations

Beauty is in the eye of the beadholder

About Me

My name is Melanie, and I began making jewellery about five years ago. Then I coerced a friend into making jewellery, and together we set up K and M Creations to sell the pieces that we made. We attend local craft events, and can often be found chatting on forums, exchanging ideas and thoughts with like-minded individuals. We began selling beads through eBay, but in recent years felt the need to stretch our wings, and so we set up our very own online beadshop - K and M Beadshop - from where we sell an ever increasing range of fun and fabulous beads, findings and tools. We're always on the lookout for new and exciting things to sell, and always interested to hear what our customers would like to buy from us, and because we still make and sell jewellery too, we feel that gives us a better understanding of what people are looking for.
All of the pieces shown here are for sale, unless otherwise marked - contact me for details

My Interests

You mean there's other things to do that don't involve beading? Well, I did a degree in ancient history and archaeology, majoring in the art, history, archaeology and language of Ancient Egypt, and I'm still fascinated by it, so our holidays often include sites of historical interest. Recent holidays have included Crete and Santorini, Rome, and the south of France, and this year we'll be off to Turkey.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with an interest in jewellery making, lampwork beads, maillework, polymer clay art and pmc work.

Music:

Radiohead, Belle and Sebastian, Chumbawamba, Easy World
