Meet the maker Colleen Campbell

I remember buying my first beads and some earring and leather thong (not the knicker kind!) from the only beading shop there probably was in Belfast and I sat down with a plastic box, a pair of pliers and a "how to" sheet given to me by the bead shop to get me started. Many a pair of pliers I have broken, many a finger nail and many a pair of shoes due to stamping my feet in frustration but determination and pure pig-headedness won over and here I am.

My passion for beads and creating something unique never stops burning, I love all beads and keep discovering them, my latest obsession would have to be a mix of gemstones and Czech glass, particularly the Picasso range (drool).

If I had to choose one style of design I'd say my favourite would be my watches, I just love them and each one I do is totally unique, a one off created so that you can enjoy something made just for you and essentially youre owning a piece of me really.

I'm happy to do custom work too so if you like something but think, oooh I'd love it this colour or that size or that shape then please drop me a line and I'll definitely try to help you in your quest.

I also have an Etsy shop - www.midnightstardesigns.etsy.com so feel free to check out my shop there too x
