A little while I posted a picture of some beads I made to match an outfit I bought.  Well I finally managed to get a necklace, earrings and bracelet made

I'm really pleased with the earrings, it is my first attempt at making my own ear wires.

I made these for a colleage at work, as a present for his wife, now she's not known for her over reaction but apparently said "they'll do" and hasn't taken them off since!!

the worst bit was drilling a hole in the silver at the top for a jump ring, tense moment there!
I think I'm going to have to make some for me to keep, but with brighter coloured beads.

I had a table at a pamper evening the other night.  I was approached by a male fellow stallholder (a hypnotist) for a bangle.  So I have come up with this

I would appreciate any feedback from any chaps out there.......

I used murrini and twisties from Jolene

I've been making bracelets this weekend - the colourful dotty one is a belated birthday present for my niece.





thanks for looking!

kate ( sublime beads) has a tutorial on her site for supernova beads,
i used kalypso instead of ekho ( the combinations of base /reducing glass are vast)
the colours are lovely so a big thank you to kate for the tutorial 

and a bead close up.

I had the beads all ready in time, but was frantically putting them together very late on the Wednesday night, so I stayed with very simple! (I was out of hammered rings, too, else I'd have attached the focal to one). I'll probably remake it a little... eventually... to add more silver and a clasp rather than just tying it. But I'm wearing it this week too because I really like it 

I've included the beads on their own too, because there were less reflections at that angle. The murrini were from Kaz's broken biskwits selection

I'm not often brave enough to post any pictures on here but I recently completed a short study evening class in Foundation Silversmithing and wanted to show you my final pieces. I have signed up for the Intermediate course next year and want to be sure I'm not wasting my time and money! I know there are some seriously talented silversmiths on the forum so all feedback, good or bad, would be much appreciated as I don't have anyone other than hubby as a sounding board and he's understandably biased 

Sorry for the blurry first photo (and the hog!!)




Thanks

I've never posted any pictures of my jewellery here before because I always feel like a bit of a fraud seeing as I don't make my own beads, but these bits are some of my first hallmarked pieces and I'm quite pleased with them, and I thought I'd be brave and share

Gorgeous beads by Isabelle Anderson & sterling & hilltribe silver.

Another necklace

Beads by Clare Scott. I love the way these beads change colour in the light, just magical. Teamed with sterling & hilltribe silver.

And finally a bracelet

More of Izzy's wonderful beads teamed with silver. I'm a bit in love with this, but purposefully made it too big for my little wrists to try and stop myself from keeping it lol 

There are more piccies of each piece on my flickr if anyone is interested, hope you guys don't mind me posting even though the beads aren't my own

Recognise the silver tags? Beads by me

I've been making a couple of summery necklaces using coloured cord, my first attempts at micro-macrame.
thanks for looking!

We all have in jokes with  friends. No idea how this one started, but the phrase 'your special...yes short bus special' is used between Kathy and I. It is not meant to be offensive in anyway to anybody. I asked Di if she could come up with something on a tag that I could make into a keyring/bag charm as a present. Unfortunately I made thee most pretty of frit nuggets and every blinking one was cracked!!! So last minute was use what I had lying around. She was happy
