This is such a chic looking bookmark, stylish pink and black polymer clay beads with darling little pewter bees floating around.

Just perfect to use in a novel or your favorite magazine sitting in a sunny position or snuggled up in front of the fire….

Where’s the…

…Pot of Gold?

As these all remind me of Rainbows.

First up a couple of Wine Glass Charms or they could even be attached to a handle of a coffee cup.

What are they for? –  I hear you ask 

Well have you ever gone to a party and put your drink down and then wondered ‘Which one is mine?’

Now all you have to do it remember which is your colour – much easier, unless you are so drunk… then you shouldn’t be drinking anymore anyway!

Both sets have glass beads, swarovski crystals in clear AB and plated rings…

Silver Charms with Sterling Silver rounds

 

Gold Charms with Gold-Filled rounds

Both listed on Etsy

Something Sparkly…

A forum I’m involved with has a monthly challenge and for April it’s…

1. Make something to place in a kitchen that will decorate it
2. Turn something old into new
3. Something sparkly
4. Something made of paper

~~~ ~~~~ ~~~

So I chose the ‘Something Sparkly’ and created this… it could also hang in a kitchen window – so it may also fit into the first catergory

A large teardrop Crystal, Swarovski Crystals with Czech and Vintage Glass and Sterling Silver

What do you think – is it sparkly enough?

As part of the rules the item has to be for sale and shown in the challenge thread with a price – so I hope this sells, if it doesn’t it will find a home in my Etsy store

 Keep watching I’ll let you know how it goes at the end of April!

edited to say – Well it didn’t sell, so click on the link above to find the listing with a few more images

Christmas Treasures

Such a stunning Inspiration photo requires a special design.

So I have used a beautiful Amethyst nugget and an Artisan Polymer Clay bead, along with some stunning Czech glass nuggets and crystal.  All highlighted with golden accents.

His & Hers… Newborn Presents

These are for a proud Nanna to give her almost born first grandchildren – a set of twins to be named Alexis and Benji.

Made with Natural Amazonite on Benji’s and Rhodonite on Alexis’ with Swarkovski Crystals, Sterling Silver and Liquid Silver.  The Nanna chose the Gemstones and Crystals.

I’ve designed a simple little card to go along with these, saying that they are from Nanna & Pa on the occassion of your birth, describing the Gemstones Meanings and Healing Properties.

I hope that Nanna as well as the twins mum love these Suncatchers as they are much prettier in real life.

  

Waiting For Summer

I’m becoming really sick and tired of this cold Australian winter.  So to warm myself up a little I put together this Summertime/Beachy Suncatcher.

Now I just need the Summer sun to shine on these gorgeous crystals – then again if I list it someone else can wait for the sun and I can go back to the heater…

A Lampwork Bookmark

Meeeeeeooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww - Wolf Wolf

I recieved this lovely parcel as a gift from a very talented lampworker – Janet Prentice – and turned a couple of the beads into a bookmark just for me.

The fantastic gift

My bookmark

Now my children can’t make up there minds if the little animal is a Cat or a Dog – What do you think?

Here is Janet’s eBay shop – http://stores.ebay.com/Artisan-Lampwork-Jewelry-Raku-Vases - her vases are to die for. 

and her Website – www.lampworkbydesign.com  

She is an amazing artist.

Thank-you Janet for such a beautiful and generous gift.  I will treasure these beads always.

 

Red Red Rose

I have created something totally different today – My very first rose…

A traditional red rose – Perfect for Valentine’s or Mother’s Day

Now there’s a thought I wonder if my mum would like one for Mother’s Day this year

Anyway here it is – My first beaded rose…

…not quiet finished (still need to find some florists tape and ‘do’ the stem properly)

If anyone else would like one for their mother as a gift just let me know – guaranteed not to wilt in a vase or to drop petals everywhere.
