Silvered Glass Pendant by Skarda Glass

I just wanted to show this.  It's just a pendant but I was quite pleased with the colours.

I found some mandrels with supposedly stuck Satake glass beads on Julie's windowsill and figured that if I could get the beads off, they must count as treasure trove.....

I absolutely love the colours of these. Thanks Julie xx

Hugs to you Kaz, hope you're feeling better - I have no idea how you've managed to keep on torching and posting stuff out despite your affliction, but thank you 

Customer of mine spotted these beads in an Etsy treasury on the FHFteam page (yes folks - it works!  ) and Kaz very patiently re-made a set for me, with enough to make earrings too 

Thankfully the glass was a happy match to two crystal colours

I made some earrings with a pair of Sabine's red rosebuds...

...and a necklace to match...


...and some earrings (no lampies this time) with the crystals I had left over 

Then I made a crystal necklace with a big red heart. No lampies in this either, but it is very sparkly. Can't seem to stay away from the swaro box atm

I re-discovered this in my "To Make" tray this week and finally got round to getting the silver I needed to finish it.


Grey Ornate Lentil - Natural Light by Skarda Glass, on Flickr

Tricky to photograph as in the light tent it seems a bit more brown but in natural light it is far more grey. I prefer the grey hence the grey beads/pearls with it.

I wasn't sure about these beads as they came out darker that I wanted, but I added lots of Swarovski and sterling silver spacers, and I'm quite pleased with the end result.

I spent a little time reading past threads on what to do with Iris orange,which I thankyou all for. I managed to Make this, I am very happy with it..

My latest bracelet. 

The theme for our work at college this term was

1) to make something out of links but not to use jump rings to join it
or
2) to make something connected with love (as valentine was in the middle of term) but not to use hearts.


It is a take on the victorian dearest ring.

OK I have only used cz's but the stones are representing and the links are celtic knots.

A not very good photo of the bracelets I have made up recently (full of cold and haven't the energy for lovely piccies!).  Stuggle with sizes (don't we all), think I might get some chain and make them a bit smaller so that they can be longer with the chain (if you see what I mean).  Mind you one friend picked one up the other day and loved it but it was far too small for her and I thought I had big wrists!  The 'shamballa' style or 'macrame' bracelet is mine, I wanted to have a go and need to sort out tidyer ends but rather fond of it, have already had a request for one from a friend!

I have been learning to seed bead and made this last night!

Quite pleased with this one, but used hemp which is quite tough!  The beadies were some that I made for a commission that I wasn't very pleased with and were destined for the pot, (mid red, encased in clear), but etched they are quite nice and you can't see the murkiness of the red (which was why they were pot bound)!  Still needs some PPP, but having fun.

I had been trying to get results from these for weeks and finally I had some beads I liked :-)

Here are my violet, iris gold and mid blue encased beads ~

I decided to try and make a few necklaces with some of my evermounting stash of orphans!
Here's what I came up with...







It was quite a challenge to start with, but then I got on a roll!!!
