Long Necklaces

Tweet

Morning everyone

There seemed to be a theme to this week’s creations and that is long necklaces, I do think they look good with a jumper at this time of year. I have made three different types and I like them all.

The first is a 20mm peach shell pearl set into a large gold toggle clasp. The second is made from parts of a necklace I bought from a high street store, reduced to component form and then remade it as you can see – I set banded agate for eyes and added gold wire roses around the bottom - I think it looks a little like an owl! The third is a silver wire heart made freehand with three small garnet drops hanging from the centre.

I enjoyed making these and I hope you like the results. Have a great week and, as it is Christmas next weekend, I will be taking a break until the New Year. I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season, my next post will be 2^nd January 2017.

Good Morning

This last week has been a relaxing and fun one, with a birthday or two thrown in for good measure. I would like to show you what I think is the most fun birthday card I have made in a while - tailor made for my friend Justine and she loved it.

Also this week I have made some hair clips for my secret Santa at work which I hope will be enjoyed with the same amount of fun with which they were created.

Have a great week and, as always, it would be great to hear from you.

Christmas Cards

Good Morning

With Christmas now just around the corner, I have spent my time this week making cards to send to friends and family. It always takes me by surprise how many there are and how long it all takes to do. Still, I am pleased with the result and the photo below shows just a few - as some are already on their way home.

I hope you are enjoying the build up to Christmas and, if you are around, then you may want to pop in to JJ Ribbons in Laxey on Wednesday this week (the 7^th of December), they are open until 9pm and will have the Christmas train running with Santa on board as well as the Laxey bell ringers, hope to see you there.

Have a great week and, as always, it would be great to hear from you.
