Stacker Rings

Tweet

Hi Everyone

I am finally on the home straight of a big paper project and it will be featuring on next week’s blog.

So, this week I have made stacker rings on elastic so they will fit as many sizes as possible and I have varied both the colours and designs.  It was so much fun making them and I know it will be even more fun to wear them.

Soft & Easy to Wear Silk

Hi, good morning

Lately I have been looking for some new ideas and I rediscovered my gorgeous sari silk. So I made this long necklace which is soft and easy to wear, and looks just great with bulky sweaters over this protracted cold weather.

I also made this fun kumihimo bracelet with some seed beads that I am pleased with, it is simple but very pretty I think.

Spanner Art Animals

Morning All

This week the blog is featuring another batch of my other half’s “spanner art”. I’m told the two creations in box frames are a pair of sea snakes (which started life as spanners for a sewing machine tool kit!) and something that looks vaguely pike-like. The other is a parrot which, in addition to the usual polishing, engraving and colouring of the metal, has had some simple pinstriping added for the wings. I think the parrot’s background really sets the colours off nicely.

Next week, it’ll be back to the usual paper/ jewellery creations!

Hi Everyone

In the cold of this last week I have been firmly staying inside as much as possible!  So I have made this beautiful apricot cultured pearl necklace and ear rings. The colour is just so pretty but I wanted to do something with a modern twist so I spent some time making the pendent with silver keshi pearls in a flower motif.  Once I was happy with the necklace I then proceeded to make the ear rings, which I am really happy with.

If you were brave enough to venture out to the craft fair at Port Erin last Saturday then thanks for making it and I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Let me know what you think and what you have been making.
