Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I was searching for a tutorial on how to make gothic chokers and immediately fell in love with the site. My first project ended up being a version of a choker that caught my eye.
What projects are you currently working on?
I'm working on a new beaded choker and bracelet set. It's purple and black, with small nickel bow charms and a key pendant in the middle. I've only made the front part of the choker so far, because it was an experimental piece.

What does your craft space look like?
My crafting space is actually on my floor, right next to the heater so it doesn't get cold in winter.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
I think I use my round nose jewellery pliers the most, closely followed by the flat nosed one.
What do you craft along to?
I have a very odd music taste compared to most people. I love folk metal and my favourite bands are Korpiklaani, Eluveitie, Ensiferum and Balyios. It always puts me in a good mood and helps me relax, so I always listen to it when I am crafting.

Jossie's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I want to learn to make stainless steel and silver jewellery. I actually want to ask my friend to teach me one day.
Who are your crafting heroes?
My crafting hero is my friend, Kat, owner of Purely Kat Jewellery. She makes the most amazing custom gothic jewellery. She has her own workshop at home where she makes everything, including stainless steel pendants. I want to learn to make pendants like hers one day.
JossieAyame's Favorite Projects
My favourite projects are: This Pokedress because I've loved Pokemon ever since I was young. I really want to make one of these but I don't think I'd have the patience. This Skeleton bear pin. Pamela made this for me for one of our swaps and it's one of my favourite accessories! I wear it practically all the time! The Poketar. I made my own, which is now hanging on my wall. It's my favourite thing I've made so far.
