Setting up your own business in the midst of a global pandemic might be considered bold, even foolhardy perhaps.
Yet that s precisely what Longford town native Rachael McCreanor has successfully engineered through her own handmade jewellery and craft making business.
The talented 28-year-old graphic designer is the brains behind Palefacerach , an online forum which is fast becoming the go to platform for jewellery lovers and followers of textile craft making.
“It wasn t until the first lockdown that I had the time to immerse myself into the many creative ideas I always said I would experiment with when I got the time ,” she said, revealing her first foray into selling handmade crafts to the public came during Longford s Cruthú Arts Festival in 2018 and 2019.
