Mokume Mauves Occitania mai 09 3, originally uploaded by Lunes Bijoux.

This weekend I took part in La Fête des Plantes et l'Artisanat d'Art at Fontfroide. I had a great weekend meeting up not only with some talented artists like Céline Cassiède from Terre à l'horizon but also making some great new contacts and positive sales.

My new Occitania range was a huge success. This range is based upon the Mokume Gane technique in polymer clay coupled with some secret textures. Pendants & earrings are then mounted on sterling silver or gold filled wire. The prices are slightly higher than my Lily range but that didn't put off buyers.

My stand was also a plus point for me - I opted to set-up in the form of a U rather than just a straight table. This meant that clients entered into the boutique-stand rather than just walking past a table front. A definite point to remember for any future exhibitions where space allows for it.
