Necklace and Earring Set

I love this set. Really easy but so satisfying.

Lariat and Pendant

The first three pictures are a pendant I have made. I was aiming for a ring but got the sizing slightly wrong, so turned it into a pendant! It looks fab hanging from a simple silver chain, and has 3mm fire-polished beads to give it that bit of subtle sparkle.

The last three pictures are of a lariat I made over the last few days. It grew organically, from a basic idea that changed as I went along. I can't get the colours quite right but you get the general idea!

Something Different - Strung Bracelet

I am not sure whethter this is nice enough to put on my Folksy shop. Opinions would be gratefully received, even if it is to say, 'No'! I tried something a little bit different to my usual 'modus operandi', to see if it would work. It did but it is a little too fiddly for what I would be able to sell it for.

Anyway, please do stop by and leave a little comment...

Four of My Bracelets

All together - don't they look lovely! The pink/purple one is sold but the others are in my Folksy shop. Sorry to keep banging on about the shop - I am trying to get some sales, to make it worth my while using Folksy. Ignore me if you hate blogs touting their wares!

Bracelet in Silvers

It isn't really possible to see how glitzy this bracelet is, but it really shines on the wrist. The 4mm glass pearls are in a lovely metallic grey, with silver fire-polished beads adding the sparkle. This is going in my Folksy shop (see link at the side of the blog) and I am hoping to sell kits to make the bracelet soon too.

For FRAN...

You asked for 'pinky purples' and this actually works, despite me saying it wouldn't! I really hope you like it - if not, I'll put it in my shop and make another one for you.

Some Earrings

The last pair even have hand-made ear-wires (proud miss alert!)

Another Wire-Wrapped Bead Bracelet

And look what it did to my poor little hand! I have to lay off the wire-wrapping for a few days, until the blister goes down...

The bracelet is made from 6mm glass pearls, 3mm glass pearls, MOP discs, 6mm fire-polished glass beads and 10mm fire-polished glass beads. I am not usually a fan of green things, but I love this. I added a little feature dangle on the clasp, to give a bit more interest. I even had a go at making my own jump-rings, with 1mm wire. I think 0.8mm would be better, but, at least the one I used is really strong!

Helen's commission left me wanting a bracelet too!

So I made one. I didn't have enough of the stones I used in hers, so I went down the 'cheaper and bolder' route!
