Welcome In The Workshop Josh

Tuesday, 2 August 2011

109 is a very small company (hey, check me out beading by myself watching MTV and drinking tea) so every thing 109 does is personal. Everything!

So I personally had a very cool day when word came to me that Josh T. Pearson liked a specific bracelet from the collection and I sent one off to him as fast as I could. And before I could blink then I sat with a vinyl of his album "Last of the Country Gentlemen" in my lab. And the cover is almost as stunning as the music. It is going up on the 109 'wall of fame' so it can be admired while listened to while beading. So welcome in my workshop Josh! It is a pleasure.

Double Wrap Bracelets
Tuesday, 15 February 2011

At 109 HQ we have completely fallen in-love with our new double wrap bracelets! The first prototypes feels so smooth and soft even though they are made of tough string and hard stones.

We will keep experimenting with the beads and want to try some rough looking turquoise and also look for some large chunks of sterling silver.

We do think though that we have found the perfect string; greasy waxed cotton string! It is both soft and strong. Read more...

Special Commissions
Wednesday, 24 November 2010

Sometimes we get hold of some amazing pendants or special stones that would impossible to source enough of to actually include them in our collection. But we then make as many pieces as we can and sell them as special commissions. These 2 pieces will be available in Poison Angel very soon, and if you like what you see then you better be quick to snap them up! Read more...

Peter Andre -Accelerate
Sunday, 31 October 2010

We were abselutly delighted when we spotted this perfect shot of Peter Andre wearing 4 of our pieces on the cover of his new album 'Accelerate'. We 100% love the beads he has chosen to mix around his wrist. It is refreshing to see soft creme colours mixed with the wooden colours. And we love that he uses necklaces as bracelets too!

And can you believe that we have our beads on a cd-cover!!? Here is something super special for our 'wall of fame' in the office! Read more...
