Hot Pinks

Good afternoon everyone :o)

Todays post is a piece I made last weekend. 

I have used some lovely fuschia crackle glass coin beads with some fuschia crystals and some heamatite look seed beads.  The pendant is actually an adapted earring!!! (look out for the other earring, haven't decided what I'm going to with it yet lol) 

Again I've made up a simple drop earring to compliment the necklace.

I hope you like it and thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog!

Blue Flowers

Last night's little number includes a long chain I made using a double link chain. 

I cut it into 10 link lengths then attached beaded eyepins with split rings.  The beads are a clear and blue glass flower bead and a silver twisted pillow bead, these have been defined by using small dark blue seed beads on the silver pillow and transluscent blue plastic beads  which you might use on a little girl's necklace for the flower bead. 

I have also had a little play about with different ways of displaying (totally stolen by viewing other peoples pages!!!!)  I haven't quite got the hang of it it yet but do take a look at the photo below.  I'd love to have your views (good or not so good) on this. 

 Thanks for dropping by.

Turquoise Surprise

Well last night's make is very hard to attribute. 

Almost all the stones/beads are from a mystery lucky dip purchase or are from stash I have had for over a year when I first started collecting bits for my little hobby and wasn't too interested in what they were actually formed from!!!!!  I do however know that the two larger and deeper coloured stones on the necklace are turquoise blue veined jasper.

 Despite my total lack of knowledge I hope you can still appreciate its aesthetic value - it's just really very pretty, maybe that can be enough for this one?????

I hope you like it as much as I do! Thanks for taking the time to look.

Mother of Pearl Again

Good evening :)

I haven't made anything yet today, just about to get my bits out and have a play so I thought I would post this piece which I made over the weekend. 

It uses the very last of my Mother of Pearl pendants which have been popular so I hope you like it. 

The pendant has been teamed with some peach toned pearl effect beads and some translucent peach acrylic beads to give a lovely soft feel and I've used 10mm and 5mm split rings to form the chain links.

Thanks again for looking.

More Green!!!

Another post to end the weekend, and I'm working with green again! 

This time I used some green semi-precious beads alongside some small green pearl effect plastic beads and two sizes of green crackle glass beads. 

The links have been formed by making a double chain link from silver plated split rings. 

And again I have created a matching pair of earrings to finish off the look.

I hope you like it. 

Right off to bed to prepare for the week ahead.  Thanks for stopping by :o)

Bue and Green Should Not Be Seen?

Happy Sunday everyone. 

Well after quite a few days not being able to make anything, the creative juices were flowing yesterday.

This is made up of 2 feature glass beads greating the drop and a simple strand of cubic green seed beads and some small blue plastic rounds.  I hope you like it and thanks for taking the time to look.

Been Busy :(

Hello all!!!

Been soooo busy the last few days, I haven't had time to blog and I certainly haven't had time to make anything. 

However I have quite a long leisurely weekend ahead with few plans (other than housework!!) so I'm hoping to get making very soon. 

I've also had 2 sales of my work on e-bay and made a facebook page too!  (when I figure out how I might add a link from here or vice versa) 

Anyway, I'm posting up a set I made at the beginning of the month but which was made for a good friend's birthday and didn't want her to see it.  I hope you like it, she did :o)

This was made with some lovely pink and purple acrylic beads, some small crystals and some metal beads, oval links and a silver coloured pendant.

Thanks for dropping by and any comments you'd like to leave.  I really love receiving them.
