Christmas Stocking

This morning I made a little stocking for the tree. Firstly I cut out the shape, then decorated it. I then sewed it together and made the top cuff and added a loop to hang it on.

Nice christmassy thing to do :) and looks very pretty.

Slippers

I have made these slippers as Christmas pressies for a fair few people this year, think they have come out ok. I've done a few in all different colours. Think it's nice to give something with a personal touch and that a bit of effort has gone into.

Advent calender

It's been a while, but I've been working on a lot of different things. As it's coming up to christmas a lot of that has involved pressies, boxes and decorations.

A little while back I made this advent calender

I made it mainly from felt and sewed these on to a background made from an old jumper.

I made all the pieces from felt too and each day I count down to christmas... not long to go now! :)

Jewellery with labels

This is a sample of my jewellery with their new lables fresh from the printer. I designed and made these recently.

More Handmade Jewellery

I have added beads and strung this pendant on silver cord

I made all of the beads and charms for this pendant by hand and then painted and glazed them all. I then made a silver cord and strung all of the items to make this long necklace.

New Necklace

Just finished a new long necklace, lots of beads and charms. Made it with lilacs, purples and silvers.

I'll post an image soon...

New cords

Just been in the garden making cords for a new piece of jewellery and the cat seems to think that its a game. Not amused!! But got some silvery cord now, just need to get some beads and charms sorted now.

Jewellery

I'm out in the sun on the laptop rather than making any jewellery, again, I do seem 2 get carried away on here, but hey. I'm writing an article about eco jewellery and thinking about what else I could reused to make pretty jewellery. Love experimenting!!!

Handmade necklace

I made this new necklace by hand. I made all the beads and pieces myself from dough, I then coloured and painted them and strung them all together with silver thread.

I love turquoise and the sea, so this hopefully represents that.

Coloured bracelet

I made this new bracelet from some beads I have recently made and painted.

Long necklace

I made a new long necklace in black and white. Its quite hard to show a good picture, but have taken a few close ups as well.

Bracelet

I made a lot of tiny beads and then made them into a bracelet. I love pink and brown as a combination.

More beads

I have made more beads (no suprise there as I'm always doing that recently).

But here they are...

Painted flowers

I have been making lots of jewellery from aluminium and think its a great material to work in, but was gettin a little bored with the lack of colour, so I decided to experiment with aluminium and acrylic paints.

I cut flower shapes from the metal, sanded and drilled them.

I then mixed the colours I wanted and painted them.

Shell in Jewellery

I have been experimenting with shells and using pieces if shell in my jewellery. In the pieces below I have combined this with recycled wood and metal.
