Gemstones and Resin Tubing

Good morning

Over the last week I have made two rings. I purchased the ring shanks and set the gemstones which are labradrite and blue kyanite.  I will be practicing more gemstone setting techniques over the coming period so watch out for them.

I also completed some necklaces and bracelets using resin tubing with chips on them to give lots of sparkle and shine for evening wear.

I hope that you are having fun in your crafting.

Notelets & Ear Rings

Hi Everyone

This last week I have made some small notelets which are great fun.  I am a strong believer in receiving post, it really does warm the heart.

I have also created some fun ear rings which I just love.  I have had the gemstones for a little while but only just got around to using some of them. They are amethyst and peridot which makes me feel like spring is in the air.

Let me know what you think of this week’s makes and how you have been spending your time.

Silk Collar

Hi. Good morning.

Over the last few days I have been working on a collar which is made from copper and I have covered it using sari silk, in colours ranging from turquoise to terracotta, and then criss crossed it using wire with unakite beads attached. The wire picks up the reflection when the wearer moves and creates some sparkle, adding a little eye catching interest to the piece.  I have also created a pair of long line ear rings using copper chain and unakite beads. 

Let me know what you think. I love the finished jewellery and I hope you do too.
