We’ve written about the lovely Sue Tyler and her gorgeous jewellery before, but with Christmas coming up, we thought it might be a good idea to talk about her again. In fact, it’s really excellent timing because all this week she’s offering items at super special prices, and to celebrate, we’ve got one of
her gorgeous sugar skull necklaces to give away!

To make this a happy holiday for everyone, if you want to win it, we’ll make it real simple. Just leave us a comment before December 15 telling us what you’d like to see more of on PPP next year, and we’ll draw the winner that day so you’ll get your skull in time for Xmas.

And of course, if you want to buy someone something lovely, you can get your hands on Sue’s amazing creations (Unicorns! Rabbits! Trees!) on Felt or Etsy. We really think you should.

Announcing our Super Very Heart Winner

Miss Sue decided that she didn’t want to be forced to choose what was the most awesome of all the awesome unicorn comments you pretties left us, so we went with a random number generator, and so S’s comment about Charlie the Unicorn is the lucky winner, yay! And as for the rest of you, you win in two ways: 1. You’ve done research on unicorns and 2. You can totally buy the gorgeous necklace for yourself from Sue’s online stores or in person at the next Craft 2.0.

Pretty Pretty People: Sue from SuperVery

In the continuing series of interviews with the amazing pretty women who inspire and beautify us, we talk to Sue Tyler, the woman behind Craft 2.0 , the awesomely rad Super Very and now a regular craft segment on Good Morning every Friday morning.

1. When and why did you start making jewellery?
I’ve been making jewellery since i could thread macaroni on a string as a little girl. Some of my techniques have become a bit more advanced, especially designing on a computer and then getting things cut using a laser but threading is still part of my repertoire.

2. How do you decide what fits into Craft 2.0?
There are so many different things that go into a decision but some of the most important things are creativity, fresh ideas, personality and a great application. As an example – so many people underestimate how important an application is, but if you can’t get yourself organised to take photos, and send them through, to describe your creations in a great way and to fill in every line on an application it’s an indication to me that a person might not put time and love into their stall and might not be passionate about crafting.

3. What are the constant best sellers in your jewellery?
Very much my line of laser cut creations, right now i don’t seem to be able to keep some ranges like my skulls or silhouette hearts in stock.

But my most loved creations are my unicorns, they just make me smile!

4. What do you wear/do to make yourself feel good?
Lately thanks to Miss Jo I’ve gotten into wearing dresses more often and also embracing colour, as opposed to wearing black all the time. I can honestly say up until November i hadn’t worn a dress in about 5 years and I just love wearing them.

Also i love love love to wear necklaces, at the moment I’m especially fond of long threads of beads which I attach fabric flowers to, it’s a bit of a vintage feel and always makes me smile.

I also am a great believer in nailpolish, even when you have short nails, nail polish is fun.

5. How would _you_ define pretty?
Pretty is about fun, it’s about being a lovely person inside and out. Pretty is also the opposite of fugly.

Because Miss Sue is so fantastic, she’s given us a superveryawesome necklace to give away, that looks almost exactly like this, except in a royal blue colour:

So, in order to win this, we want to hear about unicorns! Leave us a comment with a fact, a story, a link, a poem or anything else that comes to mind, and we’ll get Miss Sue to choose us a winner next Wednesday. Hurrah!
