April Listing Club


Folksy Foolers!
Well here we are, at the start of our April Challenge!

A gang of Folksy Crafters, that have signed up to 'List an Item a Day' during the month of April 2010.

The mad fools that we are, have all agreed to attempt to list a variety items and support each other in the process, throughout April and I have coined us the Folksy Foolers for our maddness!

I myself, an obvious fool, have attempted to look less like one by choosing a wise owl as my first April listing, which can be found at:

http://www.folksy.com/items/403065-Wise-Owl-Carved-Jasper-Keyring-handbag-charm-with- Goldtone-findings-?shop=yes



"A Beautifully tactile Wise Owl Carved Jasper Gemstone Keyring, or handbag charm, with Goldtone Findings.

The wonderful little owl figure has been carved from one solid piece of deep dark green jasper, which has natural variations of colour & cream flecks which can been seen most clearly on the eye of the owl.

It has been carved to the front & is flat on the back & then polished both front & back, so beautiful from both aspects..."



A list the April Listing Gang is below:


Please have a look at some of our products, as we rise the the challenge! We will all be working, litterally like mad fools, to keep the challenge going! And if you really like something, please feel free to purchase it, then we'll have more pennies to make another item to add to our April Challenge collection.


Some of my favourite listings for the first of April 2010 from my fellow Folksy Foolers!

There are many more items from all the wonderful crafters, too many to show in this blog, please, please take a look at their sites. Over the next few days, I will post a new blog to show some of my other favoured items from my fellow Foolers and update you on the items I have listed during the challenge!
Good luck to all Fools during the April Listing Chellenge!

Just opened a Folksy Craft Shop!



Welcome to NOfkantsCurios

Natalie Ofkants

I am a crafter with various passions, and the items I produce cover a wide range!

I can be found selling some of my crafts at:

I'm a working Mum who crafts for pleasure and am now turning my free time into hopefully something that might support me in my old age!!! Well one can dream!!!
During April 2010, myself and another group of Folksy crafters are challenging ourselves to list an item a day for the whole month! Phew!!! So look out for a rash of new listings in April and see if we can keep to our challenge aim!



Fossil hunting has been something I have enjoyed since childhood and now the whole family is hooked! Some fossils are so beautiful as they are & ideal for display they need no additional addornment, however I do enjoy creating fossil craft items, such as Keyrings and fossil art.




Working with yarn is so therapeutic and I enjoy creating useful items from wool and other yarns. Therefore I create various unique, one of a kind Yarn crafts, such as Hand Knitted and Crocheted handbag, brooches, baby items and clothing.





Working with semi-precious gemstones, can't afford precious ones, is a natural extension of my love for fossils. Creating gemstone keyrings and handbag charms, gives a viable gift option for those people who it is hard to buy for, or for those who have everything.



Elephant Jasper Heart Keyring

Please check out my folksy shop, which I have just opened and let me know what you think of my items!
