Sea Turtle Pendant

sea turtle by David Doubilet
I have just finished this turtle pendant, inspired by the baby sea turtles that hatch onto the beach and then make their way to the sea. I love this photograph by David Doubilet, which captures the moment beautifully.

Just a quick update on this necklace (I know- how excitin!!), but I have just added lots of turquoise and pink beads to it and wanted to show it off. Very pleased with it, think it looks pretty. I was unsure if to add beads to it or not, but thought y not go 4 it, so I did. May even add a few more!!

Hen

handmade hen toy
I have just made this hen. It is made from all recycled fabrics. The outsides were once old curtains and the stuffing used to be a jumper. Totally eco and cute.

I have recently made a few toys like this one, two teddys and a goose, all hav come out pretty well which I'm happy with!

Handmade cards

handmade cards
I like to always have a supply of cards for birthdays and other occations, so that when I need one there's always one there. These are ones that I have just made. I started off with the flowery, butterfly ones and then thought I'd better make some neutral ones as well.

Handmade Goose

I love to make things as you can probably tell, normally I am to be found making jewellery, but on occation (well quite often actually) I am also found making all sorts of other things, from foods to clothes to toys.

I have recently made a couple of little bears which came out so well (or at least I think so) that I have then gone on to make a goose. I next want to make a chicken and a cute little mouse too. I'm sure pics will follow soon.

But anyway here is the goose that I have just made, let me know what you think.
I used all recycled fabric, from the materials used to make him to what I stuffed it with. It just proves that stashing all that stuff is worth it!!!

My first earring

handmade silver flower earring
I have just finished making this flower stud earring. I have never made an earring like this before, so this is my first.

I made it all from silver. The flower I cut from a sheet of silver, then filed and sanded it to finish. I then cut a piece of wire and soldered this to the back of the flower. I added a little bead to finish.

I am quite pleased with it.

Link chain pendant

handmade link chain silver necklace by surf jewels handmade jewellery
I have been working on this necklace for a while now and may yet work on it a bit more (not sure how many charms and beads to add, I didn't want to spoil it).

I have made the links of this pendant from solid silver wire, I hammered some of the links and kept some round. I soldered each link closed- something which took a bit of time- and joined them all together. I made a heart and flower link and also made some charms to add to it.

I am considering adding some beads to it, but not too sure at the moment.

I have been working on some new link necklaces for a little while now. I have been playing with copper and silver and solder to get the effect I wanted.

I made this one all from copper, I made links of different sizes and hammered some of them. I then soldered them all together. Once this was done I made some small charms from copper and attached these to the necklace.

I am thinking of adding some more charms or beads to the necklace, but this is what I've got so far.

Friendship Bracelets


handmade friendship surf bracelet with beads by surf jewels handmade jewellery
Friendship bracelets was probably one of the first types of jewellery I made. It's what started me on the path to making handmade jewellery and what inspired me for the journey.

I have made these bracelets with that in mind as well as surfy inspired jewellery that I started out making. They are made from cotton with a mixture of handmade and wooden beads.

I can make these customised with any combination and size of beads and cotton. Whether you fancy something brown with green beads or something pink with white beads I can accommodate it. Just send me a quick e-mail with what you would like and we can dicuss it.

These bracelets will cost you £10 and are great for the day out on the beach or just chillin.
