Hi! I'm Kylie Richardson, one half of the fab duo that organises the Auckland Art & Craft Fair! I tend to personally wear a lot of black or neutral clothing so find myself most comfortable adding a pop of colour by means of accessories. My large cocktail style rings are by far my favourite pieces - see below. They really add that extra something to an outfit :)
What can people expect to see from you on the day? Reignbow consists of a collection of pretty jewellery and accessory items inspired by feminine tones and antique bronze finishings. The current collection has a lovely vintage feel with a combination of chain, flower cabochon's, pendants and charms. You'll find a larger selection of charm necklaces and more variety of colours for all my cabochon jewellery than at previous Fairs.
Do you have any future plans for your work, could you describe them? Like with most things in my life, I tend to have loose plans and they change regularly. Next year I am focusing on getting my jewellery online and creating more of an online presence for myself. I already do that by other means, but it would be nice to have my jewellery available all year round, rather than just at the Fair.
Where are your favourite places on-line? I am well and truly hooked on Pinterest. It's probably my favourite website in a long time. (You can follow my boards here) Of course I also love to peruse Etsy and Foxes.co.nz for my weekly dose of handmade and designer goodness. I hang out on Facebook and Twitter for day to day happenings of friends and twitter peeps, and some of my favourite blogs are Frankie, Auckland Street Style, Here Comes the Sun, Fancy and Made by Girl. There are loads more but I can't think of them all off the top of my head!
What do you enjoy doing when you aren't busy making your wares? I'm not very good at relaxing for too long, so always have an array of things on the go at any one time. When I'm not making my wares I can be found either keeping myself busy co-organising the Fair with Jess, redecorating my apartment, studying Interior Design, pinning away on Pinterest, coming up with new ideas for business ventures or writing to-do lists. I am particularly fond of to-do lists and like to keep mine pages long. It feels so rewarding crossing things off, but I am constantly adding to it so it's a never ending project. However in saying all of that, when I do manage to talk myself into some down time I enjoy reading non-fiction books, catching up with friends for a coffee or wine and listening to music.
Cocktail style rings are really looking so attractive, incredible crafts made by you, Pinterest is really a nice website, i am also like that and now i want to like your craft work on it. Thanks for sharing this interesting post.
