Dear Mint Sauce Fan,
after much discussion, swapping of ideas and what could be best described as "Arty-Farty Mucking About" the Mint Sauce jewellery is finally ready for production. Hurrah!
The jewellery will be the work of Andrea Eserin (http://www.andreaeserin.co.uk/), an artist who lives just over the hill from Mint, and created using sterling silver and coloured resin.
A sample hasn’t been made yet but you should be able to get an idea of what it will look like if you imagine this Mint Sauce head done in Andrea's style (pictures of the Mint head and some Adreas work are attached) I hope you can see how that's going to work, quite nicely I reckon, although should enough people want a sample to be made so they can see the finished item to ease their minds then that can be done.
Here are the pieces that Andrea is willing to create, with prices –
Earstuds (approx. 10mm in height) (colour – candy) £56 per pair
Pendant with simple silver snake chain (pendant same size as earring) (colour – candy) £60
As above but with cotton thong (colour – candy) £50
Cufflinks (approx. 15mm in height) (colour – aqua) £70
(colour references are available on the Andrea Eserin website)
The price includes each piece individually boxed and with P&P.
If you wish to place an order I will need 50% deposit, or you can pay in full if you wish, this is to initially pay the jeweller for all her raw materials. There then should be about a 6 week turnaround for the orders to be made and processed.
Let's say there's a deadline for orders of Feb 28th.
This will be an exclusive and limited run of this jewellery so you can be assured of a very select piece of work.
And finally, can I just take this opportunity to say thank you to the STW thread that got this ball rolling and all you people that replied expressing an interest and made a gentle daydream a very happy reality.
If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
cheers
Jo Burt

It will be in the style of the Amoeba resin filled stuff on the website http://www.andreaeserin.co.uk, so shape of mints head, two dots for the eyes.
I like, but its just a bit too over what I'd want to pay unfortunately.
PS. Job, hope you don't mind me posting the email, TBH its going to be forwarded all over the place anyway!
