Mullberry

Another pair of my Colourstuff earrings this time in a luscious Mulberry colour....

Colourstuff.......

I have up until now my 'Colourstuff' range has only been available exclusively through a local outlet, recently there has been such a high demand for this range that I have decided to add it back onto my website, this range is quite simply a showcase for yummy coloured lampwork beads in a wonderful array of shades and colours, the range has always included earrings, necklaces & pendants, but I am thinking of adding some bracelets to compliment these, they are so easy to wear, I seem to make an extra pair of earrings from every set of beads I buy just for myself....that really has to stop, I am running out of space to store them..... available on my website from today.

Champagne any one!!!

Not the drink unfortunately but these delicious champagne Keshi pearls, they have the most amazing lustre & irredescence to them gorgeous...........I decided to make just a cluster of these beauties in both earrings and a necklace, now I am not someone who wears a lot of pearls but I could definately make an exception here.

And spring seems to be here with us, I could not resist these gorgeous green mystic quartz gemstones, hung simply beneath hammered discs, a perfect way to welcome spring.......don't forget it is mothers day on the 22nd why not pop along to my website and have a look, there is still time to order your mum that perfect gift.

Blades of Glass

I have been mainly sorting our all of my supplies this week as I have bought some great new storage to try and get a bit more organised, the best bit about is is that when sorting out I have come across some beautiful supplies that I forgot I had, so I will be being busy trying to put them to good use in some new designs this week.

I Couldn't resist the play on words with this pair of earrings, 'Blades of Glass' they are beautiful handmade artisan glass from a very talented US artist, with blades of different colours captured inside the glass, if fact they do look quite spring like as well....although snow here again today so I am maybe being a bit ambitious there..........hope you like them. BTW they are available both on etsy and on my website at the moment.

Delicious!!!

You know when you order supplies sometimes that something is really special, well my eyes nearly popped out of my head this week as a pair of labradorite gemstone drops that I had ordered arrived, wow they are quite simply stunning, they are 3cm long and are amazing with loads of flash but a stunning greeny flash not blue.

I could not wait to use these here is the results hope you like them, btw they will be available for sale on my website from this evening(Friday)

A new favourite!!!

I have probably mentioned here before that I love gorgeous lampwork and boroscilicate glass beads, I received a new order a few days ago and I have got to say these beads are gorgeous, I love organic looking beads and these hit the nail right on the head for me, the colours are absolutely beautiful, so much so it is a wrench to let this bracelet go, it is called Organic and is available on my website at the moment....I hope you like it!!

Lots of new stuff

Sphere

Theda

Posy

With the snowy weather as I said in my last post what else can you do but make jewellery. Here is some of the results, hope you enjoy them they are all available on my website at the moment.

We have Sphere, Posy, lovely Theda and Chloe. I have also been working on some silver jewellery just as a preparation before I go on my silversmithing course, I am looking forward to this so much, hopefully this will let me combine the lampwork course I went on last year with what I learn on this course, thats the idea anyway so fingers crossed, will post a picture of my first pendant later.

I also picked up these delicious vintage lucite grey beads in a wonderful misty grey, combined them with silver and oxidised them, I love how this one looks and it is light as a feather!!

Snow Scene

What a wonderful sight to wake up to, like most of the country this week we have had a heavy covering of snow, whats a girl to do but stay in be cosy and make some more jewellery, here is the scene from my back garden, photos of the jewellery to follow shortly.
