Ji Ji KIKI Give Away

I used Random.org to pic the winner of Emma's beautiful necklace. If anyone knows how to copy and paste a picture of the random.org number generator - please let me know!
AND THE WINNER IS:
ARLENE HARRISON!!
Congratulations Arlene!!

Please check back this afternoon for the beginning of another wonderful give away!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Emma resides in Somerset, UK and had am amazing jewelry shop: Ji Ji KiKi. Emma is offering a 15% discount to anyone entering this give away. Just use this code during check out: AGA15!! Please check out her shop and enter the give away at the bottom of the post.

How did you decide on your shop name?
My shop is called Ji Ji Kiki. I'm a big fan of anime films, and it's named after two characters in a Studio Ghibli film, 'Kiki's Delivery Service'

When did you start crafting?
I've only been making things to sell since last year, but I have always been creating things. I used to write a lot of stories when I was younger and I love to draw and paint. I also like to do photography in my spare time-my granddad was a keen photographer and I inherited all of his old cameras-I love the different effects that each one produces and that the pictures have little quirks and imperfections that you obviously don't get from modern digital cameras.



Are there other crafts you would like to try?
Loads! I'd like to try other methods of jewellery making, such as working with silver, resin or shrink plastic, which I loved using as a kid. I'd also like to try making jewellery from Fimo but I don't know whether I'd have the patience!

I love coming up with ideas and patterns for dresses, but the sewing machine seems to have a personal vendetta against me and I just end up tangling the thread around everything!

While I was at uni I did a basic 35mm black and white photography course which I would like to get back into when I can find the time.

What or who inspires you?
My inspiration comes from all over the place-films, books, nature, dreams. I studied history at university and really love the Victorian, Art Deco and Art Nouveau periods as the jewellery is just gorgeous so I guess that plays a part as well.

Do you have a day job?
This is my day job! I'm really lucky in that I have a very supportive boyfriend who also does all of the website side of things for me.

I love the freedom of it being my only job as I get out as much as I put in to it, so if I don't feel like doing much one day, I don't have to! Some days are really quiet so I can just potter about doing promotional work and taking pictures, but I do have days though when I am really busy and can be working from 7.30 in the morning until gone midnight.

I am just in the process of setting up another site to sell other people's work on consignment basis, so am juggling my time between that and Ji Ji Kiki, which can get a bit stressful. I wouldn't change it for the world though!

What is the item in your shop you enjoyed making the most and why?
I love all of them, especially the Ji Ji Kiki Vintage range as I just think it's so pretty and it's probably the items that I get the most compliments for :)

I have just launched a new range called 'Reconstructed', which is a collection of one-off pieces made using broken and vintage items. I like the idea of taking something old with some history and story behind it and using it to create a completely new piece.

And Now for the Give Away:
Emma is offering this amazing necklace to one lucky person!!
