Morning everyone
While tiding up my chain stash I came
across this very large, gold plated base chain with lots of texture. I have teamed this chain with 10mm rounds of
green crackled quartz which have been knotted with gold thread and finished
with a matching tassel.
The matching ear rings look simple but
impactful.
Keep making and enjoy the sun.

Good morning
This week I have made a box of
colourful flowers for my mother’s birthday.
I choose this pattern from Tanya Batrak on the Silhouette Store – it was
just what I needed. The finished article
was robust enough to post in sturdy box and arrive untouched by the mail
handlers (they can be a little over zealous!).
The flowers are made from 200 gsm paper
and double layered, while the box is made from one layer of 260gsm and one
layer of wall paper for a distinct pattern.
Overall I am more than happy with the
results, I hope you like it too.

Hi every one
Taking my inspiration from African
jewellery, I made this multi thread and multi colour necklace. Using waxed cotton threads and antique bronze
wire this piece was a joy to make, although fairly tricky to keep so many cords
together.
To accompany the necklace I also made
some elastic bracelets which have lots of colour and fun.
I hope that while you are enjoying the early summer you are still
finding time to participate in some fun crafting.
