Hand Crafted or Hand Made?

Perfect!

I see a new line of crustaceans in the future

Ooh Nic, I got all prickly on your behalf about your post about that supplier using the same tagline. I thought when I saw it on your website it was nice without being twee!

I know that we had the discussion before, but my cards just say Artisan Silver Jewellery and Stained Glass, because I liked the wiki description.

Oh good! I like that!!

- that means I haven't made a total boo boo with my cards then - as I have 'hand made pure silver jewellery' on them ... and I do make them totally myself - by hand - from wire (which I even draw to the right thickness myself).
Some of the other jewellery I make might have a bit more of a crafted element to them (as I haven't perfected manufacturing fwp, swaros and semi precious stones yet!!)...but I'll keep a bit hush hush about them!!

There was a thread about this a while ago with more discussion, which I've linked below.

I like the way you think Jules, nicely thought out and thanks for that link very interesting to read and as you say very similar. As i make beaded jewellery with cheaper components aswell as metalwork with precious metal its finding the right combination to fit both.

Like this?

I can see in your earlier message that you have a missing closing brace - so it reads [quote rather than [quote ] (but without the space)

Typing the tags manually I can write:

This is a quote

This is a nested quote

I've been thinking about using

"Designed and made by Julia Hay"

My hubbie gets all huffie when I say handmade, cause I use a torch, tools, a kiln...........et al! same would go for hand crafted! But he is a bit of a pedant!
