432 beads later

Yes I did actually count the amount of beads. And that's just on the choker not the earrings.

It has taken me around five hours to make this up, but I think it is worth is.

Yet more jewellery

Here is some more jewellery I made last night and today.

Thank you for looking.

More jewellery

I've been playing again with my Jewellery bits tonight.
All the big beads on these pieces of jewellery are my own handmade beads.

This first set, is a repeat (ish) of one I made a few weeks back. I didn't like it at all then, But a friend of a friend did, so much so she asked if I could make her another set.

So here it is, I actually like this one much more, the other one had really big plastic beads to accompany it. I think this one is not so in your face. Well other than the colours of course.

This one I made the beads months ago, and its taken me this long to turn it into jewellery. I love the beads I made and didn't want to add to much to it, as could have takes the focus away from the beads.

This one again, the beads were made months back. These beads were made to go with the butterfly cane beads I attempted to made, but went way wrong on. But these blended beads worked out OK I think.

Thanks for looking.

New Jewellery

This is the jewellery set that my son made. again he did this all on his own, other than me helping with the pliers, he had a good go himself, but he found them a bit to hard to work with. but the design is all his.

He has given these to his Nana as a gift from him, and Nana loves them.

I am very impressed and proud of him, and I think I need to be careful he is ruddy good already.


And below are what Ive made.

This first blue set (which is actually turquoise and white pearl) Is made using my own handmade beads.

Close up of the above.

I love this bracelet, I have since restrung it as the jump ring came undone when I caught it on the cupboard door. This time I have restrung it using stretchy nylon, so it should not snap and it has some give to put it on easier.

I need to have a go at making some beads like these as I love them very much, However these are glass beads, so wont be able to create the same effect as easily with Polymer clay, but I can try.

This set I made a few weeks back but only just got around to taking a photo of it. I love this also, looks much better in real life.

Oh and if you can remember back to my first set of beads the horrid orange, yellow and green mixed beads, then I turned it into a horrid set of jewellery. Well I was going to give it to my daughter as costume jewellery, that was till a friend of a friend seen at and feel in love with it, so much so she has ordered some more. Hence why I have made some more of the same beads (on the previous post). Just goes to show you, even if you don't like it someone will.

Handmade beads

Sorry I've not been around lately, a lot has been going on around me and its hard keeping up with anything at the moment. But I have Finally got around to doing some form of crafting.

Here are some beads I've made recently. Also a set that my son made all on his own.

The above set of beads are the beads my son made, I think they are fab to say he is only 8 and this was his first attempt, and he did it all on his own with no help from me at all.

More Wedding cards

Three more Wedding cards. Not up to my usual standard. I got them all ready as far as putting toppers onto the cards. Then something else happened so I had to finish them off fast.I did not intend them to have the toppers the have on them, but that's just the way it went. They were needed for tomorrow and I knew I wouldn't get more time to finish them, so made do with a quick fix.

Wedding card

Firstly sorry for not posting in a while. Things have been all over the place here lately, I just have not got around to crafting at all.

I promised a friend I would make her a wedding card months ago, thankfully she reminded me last week, So finally gave myself that kick up the backside and got it made up.

The couple are not having flowers for there wedding, its is going to be very fairytale. All bridesmaids are in princess dresses (all little ones) and her bouquet is made of white feathers and gems. So that was what I had to work with.

This is the box for the card.

A photo of the card inside the box (photos not very good sorry)

A better photo of the card, still not a good photo, and it does not do it justice.

Hopefully now both kids are at school full time, I may get myself back in order and get crafting again. I have so many projects on the go, I just don't want to start them up again. At the moment my heart is really not into crafting. But I'm sure once I get going again I will be back on top form. I am currently sorting out all my Jewellery making stuff, so that is all over the place (has been for 2 weeks now). As soon as I get that sorted Ill give myself one big kick up the backside.
