Sunny, Sunny, Sunny

Wow, what a stunning few days we have had! I have to say that does mean that I haven't been making much jewellery. However, I have managed to make a couple of pieces and will get my lovely other half to photograph them later this week. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Watch this space as they say..... below is a bracelet made with lovely monochrome beads by Rachel Dawes to keep you going. A very simple design but I think it really does the beads justice.

Chic

Sorry though if you like the look of it, as it has already gone to a new home.

On a totally different note, my green fingers have been working, or at least i like to think so. All this lovely weather has had us out in the garden so I have been diddling in my veg patch. I am so chuffed I have mange tout plants coming though as well as baby sweetcorn and climbing french beans. As for my potatoes......thay are growing like triffids.

I treated myself to a couple of potato barrels this year as I don't really have the room for them to go in the ground. They are growing so well that I banked them up Friday and had to do it again today. Lets just hope as much growing is going on below the surface as well.

Design Weekend

I am so excited, some of my jewellery is currently on display at the 10th design weekend 2008 at Tatton Park. The shop that stocks my jewellery in Lymington, Loveit-Wantit, are at the trade fair and have taken some of my jewellery with them. Check out the Loveit-Wantit website for gorgeous home and garden items.
I am still working on putting paypal onto my website (Why does it all seem to take so long?) so in the meantime.....

Stormy Waters

Beads from the ever so talented Isabelle Anderson at Flame and Glass. The detailing reminds me of white horses but the colours of stormy seas hence the name. Keeping in with the sea theme I just had to use Karen Hill Tribe Silver Shell beads and the faceted Czech glass beads really bring out the blue in Izzy's beads.

Commissions

Finally I have found a spare few minutes and have managed to upload the pics I took of the commission pieces. One of the lovely ladies who loves my jewellery bought some beads of her own and asked me to make up some bracelets and pendants for her. Below are the results - hope you like :)

Blue Waters - beads by Su at Eithne Glass

These beads are so lovely, clear glass with blue ribbons through. I decided to bring out the blue and added faceted Czech rondelles and ridged silver beads.

Blue Strata - beads by Helen at Vammadopper

These are beautiful beads from Helen, a really natural central core edged in pale blue (my digital camera makes things so much bluer - sorry :)) and then encased in clear with matching round beads.

There was another set but I didn't manage to photograph them before they were whisked to their new home.

My website is down at the moment, I am trying to install payment by paypal...watch this space. In the meantime I will put new items here to keep you tempted.
