A Box of Tulips

Morning everyone

I have been working on a box of tulips for a friend’s birthday .  They are made from various types of paper including wall paper, I am glad to say that it is now complete and I love it.  I have used a pink and purple theme as these are her favourite colours.  I decided that just using the flowers was a little bit flat so added some loops of satin ribbon which I think gives it a bit of a pop.

Let me know what you think.

Mariam Jasper

Good morning

This week I decided to work with some chips of tigers eye. They are just so beautiful and have such a deep schiller that I find them captivating. Using a double strand as the main body of the necklace, I placed a gold circle in the centre and a pretty triangle of Mariam Jasper within the circle. The Jasper gives a great contrasting texture while keeping the same colour palate. I have also used the Mariam Jasper in the ear rings and just kept it very simple, to great effect.

Let me know what you think of my makes and also what you are making.

Antique Crystals

Hi Everyone

Over the last little while I have spent a lot of time cleaning some of the prettiest shaped antique crystals that I have ever seen.  I was given them from a family member that was going to throw them out because the jewellery was broken.  Below is a picture of the crystals before they were cleaned.

I have re made the jewellery and added in some rose coloured clear quartz - I think the result is just so elegant and beautiful.

Don’t forget to let me know what you think of my makes and also what you are making.

Cute Note Books

Morning Everyone

Well I hope you all had a great break for the holiday season and that, if you had any crafting time, you enjoyed your quite time alone.

I, on the other hand, have not had much time to myself so this week I have been making some cute children’s note books. Partly because I wanted to use up some offcuts of card and also because they are just so much fun to make. 

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them.  It would be great to see what you have been making.
