Original Shimmering Designs originated at 30,000ft above the Atlantic before the days of ‘no sharp instruments allowed’ on the plane. <br /><br />Having forgotten to bring earrings on holiday I decided to buy some beads, some findings, a pair of wire cutters and some bendy pliers. I’ve not looked back, although my days bead-making on the Air Canada flight AC360 are long gone.<br /><br />I want to provide ethical, beautiful, fun, original cards and jewellery at high street prices, made by my own hand (and not by slave or child labour), and all my profits go to charity.<br /><br />email me! originalshimmeringdesigns@yahoo.co.uk<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/798676546145863215-6897578018903294019?l=originalshimmeringdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mermaid of Moorgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13485679698269770465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798676546145863215.post-42006805288635960712008-09-08T07:18:00.000-07:002008-09-08T07:23:25.590-07:00What is Shimmering Designs? <br /><br />It is an ethical enterprise<br />It is an original card-making and jewellery-making business<br /><br />It does not:<br />use child labour<br />import jewellery from other countries<br />sell anything that is mass produced<br />sell what the creator (me) has not made herself<br /><br /><br />Profits go to charity.
