Lariat

I decided to have a go at making a lariat.

I really like it, but so does my 8 month old, so it's taking quite a beating. Basically this one is a long length of wax covered cord with a number of jump rings on and a couple of beads on each jump ring.

I've added spirals as well which I made to give it a bit more sparkle.


Hope you like it :)

I won a prize :-)

I'm so pleased. I won a prize for my jewellery.

I am part of crafts beautiful forum and they ran an online party over the weekend. There were lots of challenges and they also asked to showcase jewellery. Well I posted a few bits on the showcase and was chosen (with 5 others) as a winner.

I'm just waiting to see what I get but I was so excited to win. There are some very talented ladies on there and I thought my pieces paled into insignificance. All I can say is wooohoooo :)

Pink!

Well, seeing as I was on here today I thought I'd add a few more pics. The bracelet and cluster necklace were made during an on-line workshop.




The multistrand necklace is a present for my friend's 30th birthday today :)

Jewellery Challenge entry

Hi all


Well unfortunately not a new piece as time is ticking on, but my entry none the less. This one is made from wire and Millefiori beads (which I love). It's a lariat style and was the second thing I ever made - the first was similar but something for me - and was a present for my MIL on her 60th birthday.

Finally another post

It's been a while but I thought I should write some more.

Jewellery making has been a bit slow. It's just trying to find time to fit it all in. Though I can make a little something quite quickly.

This weekend was quite lovely. I went on a workshop with my sister and made a few really nice pieces and more importantly came home with lots of ideas. We had lunch and a bit of shopping. Sunday was Mother's day, so a lazy hour or so in bed and then I made a bracelet and experimented with wire work after.

I'm really loving working with wire and will continue to build on this. I've added some photos of recent makes and hope you like them :)

Welcome to my blog. It's a work in progress at the moment so I'm sure the layout/colour and all that jazz will be updated shortly.

I'll be updating the blog with new jewellery pieces and ideas regularly so keep checking back.
