LollaMac<p>I'm (very) slowly getting photos sorted to get the new collection online. (Why is this stuff such blummin' hard work? 🥴)</p><p>That said, spending time editing photos really does highlight some treats, so can we just take a moment to appreciate the incredible detail on this bee imprint? 🧡🐝 </p><p>When I see this it makes the press/anneal/press/anneal cycle, sometimes needing up to 6 or 7 presses until I'm happy with it, completely worth the effort! </p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Bee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bee</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>Introducing the HoneyBee Collection 🐝</p><p>Made with recycled brass and sterling silver, each impression has been individually pressed and hand finished. Complemented by honey coloured citrine stones, set on sterling silver. It's my ode to nature's superheroes, and perfect for summer. 🐝🌼🌻 </p><p>Available in the Hexham shop now, and heading online soon.

LollaMac<p>My summer collection is taking shape nicely, ready to be launched at my 1st birthday party in the shop next weekend. Can't wait for you to see it, I think it might 'bee' one of my favourites yet! 😘🐝</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jewellery</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>Morning from the bench!</p><p>Lots to do and it's total chaos - but then would I have it any other way?! I'm frantically prepping my new summer collection which I'll be releasing at my 1st birthday party in the shop next Saturday (28th), as well as doing all the prep for that too. Plus I've just received a lovely wholesale order from one of my fab stockists so I'm trying to squeeze some of that in too.</p><p>(1/2)</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>A very special recent make for a very special young woman. 🤍</p><p>My beautiful niece, Eve, recently turned 18 (how?! 🤯) so my gift to her was a pair of her favourite style of hoop earrings, with little dangles of her birthstone, moonstone. I haven't seen her since her birthday sadly (what with A-levels and 300 miles between us to contend with), but I spotted she was wearing them on photos of her birthday lunch, so I'm thinking they were a hit!</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a></p>

LollaMac<p>New in store, and coming to my online shop very soon. Twisted huggie hoops in a choice of sterling silver, brass or copper. Which are your favourite?</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/SilverJewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilverJewellery</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>I was a bit nervous about the task as the stones were very delicate, but in the end I thoroughly enjoyed making them and was really pleased with how the necklaces turned out. And, most importantly, so were my clients. Phew!</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jade</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/SilverJewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilverJewellery</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>One of my recent commissions, which was handed over last week: a cute quartet of jade pendants.</p><p>[See the next post in this thread for progress shots.]</p><p>My clients were an older couple who had four jade cabochons that had come from a bracelet bought in China a number of years ago. They wanted to turn the stones into pendants which will eventually be given to their daughters and granddaughters.</p><p>(1/2)</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jade</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/SilverJewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilverJewellery</span></a></p>

LollaMac<p>I've had a bit of a run on chunky bangles recently in the shop so I've been making a few more. Maybe it's been a weather thing; I do think a stack of bangles is an essential accessory for summer dressing!</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandMadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandMadeUK</span></a></p>
