Hi, I’m Alyson, the face behind Alycrafts. I have always liked to do creative things after selling our B&B 4 years ago, I finally had more quality time for myself. I taught myself basic jewellery-making techniques and then started exploring other ideas.

The theme is always glass beads of gemstone chips in my makes, never cheaper acrylic alternatives. It started as just a hobby but things soon got out of hand. There is a limit to how many sparkly things you can have hanging around your home (I think)!

My range is now pretty extensive including necklaces, bracelets, anklets, suncatchers, dreamcatchers, windchimes, keyrings, bookmarks, worry beads, charms, and my best seller – a unique range of lampwork angels available loose (just £2) and in card format (£3) for a variety of occasions and sentiments. My ‘Dreams’ card is shown here but there are 11 in the range in total including wedding, birthday, Christmas, Mum, guardian, travel, believe, sympathy, and rainbow. Please contact me if you would like to see others in the range.

I hope you like my designs as much as I love creating and making them.
