🚨🖤 AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FROM 5TH TIME'S A CHARM 🖤🚨
Right. We need to have a serious conversation.
Actually, no. I need to have a serious conversation with myself. Because apparently, I have a shop full of wonderfully weird things, incredibly talented people whose work deserves shouting about… and the social media management skills of a sleepy potato. 🙄😂
AJ Steeldesigns
Have I been showing off his work properly? Have I been making a song and dance about the brilliant, quirky, metal creations he brings us?
Have I heck. 🤦♀️
So, we're putting that right.
AJ creates all sorts of wonderfully unusual metalwork, from quirky little characters made from cutlery to striking sculptures and wonderfully weird decorative pieces. The sort of things that make you stop, have a proper look, and think, "Well, that's different… and I absolutely love it!" 🖤
We're talking personality, imagination, and giving metal a whole new life. Some are funny, some are downright brilliant, and some deserve a little moment of appreciation all of their own.
And where can you find some of his creations?
Why, right here at 5th Time's A Charm in Rushden, of course!
So consider this the official beginning of my AJ STEELDESIGNS APPRECIATION CAMPAIGN.
There will be pictures. There will be bragging. There may be more than one post, because apparently I have a backlog of things I should have been showing you all along. 😂
AJ, I'm sorry I've been rubbish at shouting about your work.
Everyone else, please admire his creations, give this post some love, and keep your eyes peeled for more!
Because talented people deserve to be celebrated, unusual things deserve to be admired, and I clearly need adult supervision when it comes to remembering to advertise what's in my own shop. 🤣
