UK Business Can Survive The Credit Crunch, If You’re Careful With Your Wispa!
Mixed-up Dolly, the possibilities are endless....
by Wells_Jaqui
UK artist Rachel Sherman has been making beaded jewellery for the last 20 years after making herself a Marmite necklace in polymer clay, which attracted a lot of attention.
Her products are completely unique, available only from either Wells market on a Saturday or online at Mixed-up Dolly and it’s easy to see where their attraction lies. Miniature, handmade replicas of well-loved brands that are not only stylish, but immensely cute!
There is a large market in America for these quirky creations. Lots of ex-pats love the ‘Best of British’ range which includes Marmite, Heinz Beans, Mars bars etc. Rachel has been featured in a book about Marmite, in a couple of jewellery-making magazines and on various blogs which can generate a lot of sales.
Some of her most memorable transactions include when she was asked by the CEO of Ginsters to make him some Ginsters pasty cufflinks bearing the new image! Also, the wife of the CEO of Premier Inns commissioned her to make her husband some cufflinks with the Premier Inn moon and stars logo.
To see more of the range, please visit www.mixedupdolly.co.uk or stop by for a chat with her at Wells Market every Saturday.
