Goodness it's been a long time since I posted anything on here, but I thought I'd come and pimp out my latest little business.

I have started making jewellery, I make beaded bracelets, earrings and necklaces, but my most popular items have been Kumihimo bracelets. Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braiding technique and the bracelets I make can be made in any colours and combinations from a single colour up to 8 different colours and with a variety of patterns depending on the number of colours used.

I've set up a facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/JewelleryByJanine) with some pictures and I've been taking commissions on there. I've had a few requests for Game of Thrones House colours as well as football team colours to do as well as a possible commission of 100 black, white and pink ones for a charity.

I can make them to whatever length you need, just send me your wrist measurement, I usually add about an inch and a half so that it's comfortable and not too tight or loose. My wrist is 6.5 inches so I make them about 8 inches in length including the clasp for myself. There's a choice of clasps too, either toggle, lobster or magnetic.

The price would be £8 each plus p&p (£1 within the UK) and I'd be happy to discount for larger numbers. I dont mind shipping outside the UK, they dont weigh much so postage shouldn't be too expensive but I can always get a quote for postage if you'd like.

As an add-on I can also add a charm hanger and add a charm to it if you want (see pink bracelet below). It would add to the price and I'd need to source the charm so it would take a little longer but if you wanted something especially personal to you I could do that, say a letter charm or something related to your fandom or hobby. If you have your own charm that you'd want to hang that's fine, I can do it just with the charm hanger and you can add your own charm to it when you get it.

If you're interested you can either reply on here, message the page on facebook or I've set up an email account under jewellerybyjanine @gmail.com (remove the space before the @).

These are some of the examples I've made:

ETA: I'm sorry but I'm not looking to add any new friends at the moment unless I know you and have talked to you on a community or friend's journal. I've recently done a huge flist cut and I really dont want to add random people. Oh and just commenting "add me" without even a please isnt going to get you added for sure, manners go a long way.

I'm having a bit of a friends cull at the moment, since I rarely post on here and rarely read personal journals anymore. If I've removed you it's nothing personal, more a "my livejournal experience is coming to an end" type thing. If you particularly want to keep in touch I'm on twitter or facebook.

As a few people seem to be having trouble finding my pics in the thread I'd put them in (not on here) I thought I'd repost them here for you too. Please credit if you repost or use them. Thanks.

Just to let you know I've changed my livejournal username from jdsmylover to my real name. The old name was chosen at a time when I was totally obsessed with Johnny Depp, and although I still think he's awesome, I don't feel the name represents me anymore. I thought it was simplest to just use my own name rather than come up with something else fandomy that I might change my mind about again at some point in the future.

Jason Manns will be back touring the UK in November with Slique Events. Details and tickets can be found at http://www.sliqueevents.com/event_jasonmanns_09-2.htm and we will be adding more dates soon.

Sorry guys, I'm doing a bit of a friends cut at the moment. Apologies to those who've been cut but needs must. As you probably realize I hardly ever post here anymore. I feel like a lot of the stuff going on in my life isn't stuff I really want to post about publically, not that it's anything bad, I just dont feel like talking about it on here. So yeah, me cutting some of you probably wont make much different to your flist, there's nothing to read here anyway. And as for me reading my flist, it's just too big to cope with and a lot of stuff I just skim over.

You'll probably have noticed I hardly ever comment, I just dont have time. Between work (which isnt going well and we're now down to just me and the boss due to there being very little business) and Rogue Events stuff keeping me busy, plus working on Jason (and now Riley's) tours, and Ariel and just life in general, I dont have as much time for LJ anymore. Any posting I do do goes on at asylum_con and it's not about me but the cons.

Anyway, so apologies again if you've been cut but it's nothing personal.

PS. anyone that wants to defriend me is welcome to at any time, I wont be offended.

I've just confirmed the venue for Saturday night, 4th July for another gig for Jason.

The venue will be upstairs at the Camden Head (formerly called Liberties Bar where Jason played in November last year) and the doors will open at approximately 7.30pm.

Because of the short notice we will be operating a guest list for this event and taking money on the door, tickets will be £10 each and it will be cash only.

If you would like to attend this gig please email me at janine@sliqueevents.com with the names of who will be attending so that we can check you off at the door. Space is very limited so we will need names and can't guarantee entry if you just turn up on the day unfortunately.

The venue address is:
Camden Head
100 Camden High Street
London
NW1 0LU

website: http://www.camdenhead.com/

The closest tube stations are Camden Town and Mornington Crescent on the Northern Line, they're both only a few minutes walk to the venue.

Calling all Jason Manns fans, Jason will be back in London for one exclusive gig on the afternoon of 5th July at our usual haunt, the Cavendish Arms in South London.

The doors will open at 2pm and it will be an afternoon gig which means you wont need to stay over on Sunday night and have to take time off work on Monday.

At the moment this is the only gig he'll be playing on this trip over but if it sells out we might consider putting on another gig.

Tickets are £10 each and can be bought from: http://www.sliqueevents.com/event_jasonmanns_09.htm
