Happy Christmas everyone

Over the last week, I have been making the last of my Christmas gifts but the most fun thing I have made is a gorgous necklace using Carnelian faceted nuggets, coated Heamatite and Moonstone chips.  I have used the Heamatite between the Carnelian nuggets and then a double row of moonstone on 0.4 wires around the neck to add texture. 

I have also made a cuff using clear Quartz and burnt orange Agate on a rose gold cuff which matches quite nicely with the necklace and ear rings.

Just to let you know I will be taking a Christmas break and my next post will be on the 10^th January 2022.  Have a great holiday season and stay healthy and safe.

Good morning everyone

I have been playing with some very pretty blue coated and clear quartz.  The stones are so lovely I wanted to make something that would show them off in the best light.  Being gemstone wheels, the only way to do this was to arrange them so that they faced the front as opposed to side on.  I achieved this by using hematite stars on the blue quartz and they sit with the clear quartz as spacers to balance them.

I think this looks very effective and a different use of the wheel gemstone cut.

Hi Everyone

 This weekend was the last of my Christmas fairs for the year and it has been a very busy one.

For this last fair I needed to provide a raffle gift, so I made a giant paper tea cup and filled it with small bags of sweets then wrapped it up. I love it and hope that whoever received it enjoyed it as much as I did when I made it.

I then made a quick necklace with was so fun to make – Rudolf who has sparkly antlers and a cute cubic zirconia nose.

But the big make this week, which was also quite quick, was a lovely moonstone piece in two colours - just lovely when the light hits it and it shimmers. 

All of these items were fun and easy to make, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
