New Bag

I have just bought this new polka dot satchel! Have been looking for a new bag for a while and this one caught my eye.

Cake

This is the cake that I made for my Nan's Birthday

I used icing tools and various shades of green icing to cover the cake in green roses.

Mini Stockings

Some little stockings I made this year.

Friendship Bracelets

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.

Cute little Bear

Just finished this new little cute bear.

I made him from some reclaimed fabric and buttons. I even stuffed him with some old jumper fabric I had. A good deal of recycling going on there.

Happy with him, looks young and mischievious!!

I can make these in different colours and fabrics and even make you a commisioned one, I could also make you a bear from a fabric you already own, just send me along the fabric and I'll send you back a cute little bear! :)

Monkey Pendant

I have just finished making this monkey pendant, I started drawing it out this morning and made it today.

I made it by drawing it onto the aluminium sheet, then cutting it out with a piercing saw, filing and sanding it.

Handmade hibiscus flower pendant, handmade jewellery

I have been working on this pendant cut from a coin for a little while now and finally here are some pics. I just finished it a few minutes ago.

This pendant started off as a silver coin. I then drilled holes in it and then cut the tiny sections out with a piercing saw. To finish I sanded it a little, but not too much as I wanted to keep some of the coin's details.

This design took some time due to the intricate design, but hopefully was worth the effort.

Making butterfly necklace

This post shows how I make my pieces of jewellery. I have shown the process of making a butterfly necklace which is a new item on my website

http://surfjewels.onlinewebshop.net/

First of all I design my item on paper and write down the materials I will be using and sketch out the rough shape and design.I then drew out my final shapes on tracing paper in the size and shape I wanted them, I then traced these onto the aluminium I used for the charms.

I then cut out the shapes from the metal with a piercing saw and this is what I was left with.

I then got some wire and bent it into the shape to hang from the butterfly.

I then used a drill to put holes where I wanted them.I then threaded the wire through the bottom hole and bent to shape and then decided roughly where to put the flower charm.

I then decided on what beads I wanted to use I then threaded them onto some cotton thread


I attached the flower charm to the end of the seed beads and to the butterfly and then strung the pendant onto organic hemp cord that I plaited by hand.
