Easter Rabbit Tins

 Good morning

 I attended an Easter Fair in Douglas, Isle of Man over the last weekend. I hope that anyone who attended enjoyed themselves and found lots of lovely items to take home with you.

With the fair in mind I made some rabbit canisters by covering two tins, and filling them with chicken size chocolate eggs.  The tins are the perfect size to become pencil boxes or just fun keep sakes once the eggs are eaten!

I really hope you enjoy my rabbits.

Bracelet Frenzy

Happy Spring

Over the last week I have been having a bracelet frenzy and it has been a lot of fun with quick makes in three styles.

The first is cube gemstones in 10mm and a variety of colours on a leather cord with a slider knot, easy to wear and perfect for men’s gifts.

The second design also has leather cord with a slider knot but this time they have gemstone donuts which are just pure fun.

Third is just so cute and pretty, including an enamel flower with shell pearls on cord sliders which are so easy and comfortable to wear.

I hope you like these makes for spring fun.

Easter Lolly Pops

Hi, good morning.

I can’t believe that last Saturday was my first craft fair of the year!  So, with Easter now just around the corner, I have made some quick seasonal goodies.  They are very cute lolly pop holders in a few different designs that I liked and were so much fun to make.

I hope you enjoy them.

Sky Blue Stars

Morning

Gosh, I don’t know what has happened to my life but it is far too busy!  So this week I have made a threaded necklace and ear rings, and it has turned out so pretty that I love it. 

It uses coated blue and clear quartz, that are really nice slices, accompanied by Silver Heamatite Stars.  The end result is very satisfying and looks so pretty on.

Alhambra Classic

Good Morning

What mixed up weather we are having, but both yesterday and today are glorious so I plan to make the most of it and I hope that you do as well.

I know that Alhambra style jewellery is an old classic but still in demand at the moment.  Having secured some gemstones in the correct cut, I have made my version of the Van Cleef classic in Lapis Lazuli with silver, and also in Black Obsidian with gold.

I love this simple design which can be worn to any occasion.

Blue Choker

Hi Everyone 

As this is my time of year for trying new things, this week I have been making, and re-making, a choker made using elastic with blue/goldstone. 

I saw this technique on YouTube and was very unsure about it, but I wanted to try it so, once I decided on my design and after maybe three or four false starts, I was really happy with the finished result.  

I gave it to a friend to try out as she wears chokers all the time and liked it so much it now belongs to her and I am pretty pleased with that!

Enjoy the sun if it happens to appear in your part of the world.

Orange Bars

Morning 

I don’t know about you but January and February are the months when I take the time to go through all my stock and check I still like my items and that they don’t need any cleaning or adjusting.  I am glad to say I have just finished it all, except my pearl selection, and I have taken a break.

In my break I have made this pretty necklace and ear rings using gold box chain and orange dyed quartz bars of the loveliest colour.  I think that they are great for summer and will make you smile and enjoy them.
