It all started with a trip to a local craft store to find the parts needed to repair a pair of earrings.
The problem was that the smallest pack of jewellery findings contained enough parts to repair 5 pairs of earrings. So as I stood there wondering what I was going to do with the other 4 pairs, something sparkly on the next shelf caught my eye: "Ooh those are pretty.....".
To avoid the parts going to waste, obviously I just had to buy some beads and crystals to make some 4 new pairs of earrings. It would have been silly not to, right?
It turns out that buying sparkly things is actual quite additive, and it wasn't long before I had an impressive jewellery collection.
Initially I made jewellery for family, friends and of course myself, but after a while, and lots of encouragement, I decided to venture out and turn my creativity into a business and Character Crafts was born.

I now sell online, at local craft fairs and run jewellery making workshops. The details of my next events can be found here
I'm relaunching my online MISI shop. At the moment I've only listed my skating and seasonal items. However there is a full product catalog available here.
So if you're interested in a particular piece, or want something completely unique, do get in touch.
