Hi

a friend asked me if I could make something from an old Bombay Sapphire gin bottle,here's what I came up with.

All comments welcome.







please forgive the fluff on the stand!


Rob.

p.s. I'm charging her £35.00 for the bracelet and £65.00 for the necklace, fair,too much or too little?

A lady made a beeline for my stall at Cheltenham bead fair a couple of weeks ago - she'd been thinking about my beads since she saw me at my first ever fair 2 years ago!  Having recently had her 50th birthday, she now had a reason to really go to town and commission a mega-set!

So she chose two Black Berry bracelets and a handful of other beads from my table.



And after a long chat and copious note-taking, we agreed on a plan.  I made quite a lot more beads, lentils for the earrings and bumpies for the necklace - and here is the finished set.



I was concerned that the necklace might be a bit overwhelming for frequent wear, so by using George's woven bail I could make the pendant detachable so she can simply wear it on the silver chain.



Its in the post, phew!

I was sent a lovely strand of turquoise tube-shaped beads, which have sat on my desk for a week or two, whispering to me about copper green, turquoise and dark ivory ...



The silver starfish and fish beads are from Beadsite's stall at the Flame Off.

Then I started thinking about Kaz's murrini that I bought at the FO, I didn't want to detract too much from the turquoise tubes so I kept the beads small - I used the Kalera trio press that I swapped at the FO.  The second necklace is much longer, and is strung on silk cord for a change.



I've decided to wear this one as a bracelet, but I'm still working on a way to pull it tight - any ideas welcome!



I think I might have been thinking a little about Kaz's Flame Off necklace too!

gorgeous :)
Micro macrame? You're welcome to borrow the book if you like - it does work brilliantly for this style.

Aw, thanks everybody  ;D

Hi

This is a weave called Beez to Butterflies.




It's my favourite after Jens Pind (which I've just got the hang of after having it fight me for nearly a week!)

Thanks for looking,

Rob.

p.s. if anyone has any tips on where on earth the hallmark stamp can go I'd be forever grateful :D

mizgeorge

For pieces made with rings over 1mm gauge, I have the hallmark stamped onto a ring (must be soldered closed). For anything too fine, I attach a tag (again, they prefer this to be soldered on). Alternatively, you can have it laser marked.

A quick release toggle would be a brilliant idea, Nick, I can't imagine how I'd cover it though  ???

A ring that I made today. Sorry to those of you that have already seen this on FB :D

I made this with the 'Hostile Planet' I made and showed the other day.  Hope you like it, its on a choker as its quite long.


Lush!

I can't help myself showing these off all over the place, I'm grinning from ear to ear - I actually gave Andrea Guarino a hug and told her I loved her when she taught us how to make these off-mandrel hearts!



Sorry if you've seen them here and there already!

A bit of a hog, but this is what I made today ;D

It's like the middle of winter here today so I thought I'll bring some sunshine in! Initially I thought these were like confetti but in fact they remind me of blossom petals that the wind has blown on the ground. I love that when it happens. It's nature's carpet!

Apologies for only posting links. I still can't get the hang of it! The lovely lampwork is by Shahlaa.
