Faberge Egg


Hi Everyone

I hope you all enjoyed Mother’s Day last Sunday, whether it was with children, grandchildren or fur babies!

With Easter on the horizon this last week I have been working on my first Faberge egg homage and I am very happy with the result.  I purchased the pattern from Dreaming Tree https://www.3dsvg.com/ a site I love and this design has not disappointed.  The egg top comes off and has space for chocolates or a thoughtful gift.

I hope that you like it as much as I do.

Hearts Forever

Good morning.

As last weekend was Mother’s Day, and with Valentine’s Day not that long ago, I have made some heart pieces.  The first is sterling silver hearts, two of which have been enrobed with either gold or rose gold.

I then made three slider bracelets full of hearts. The first with multi-colour hematite, then pink and white crackled quarts, and finally Dalmatian jasper - all so pretty in their own way.

Do stay warm and dry if possible and keep crafting.

Garnets & Gold

Hi Everyone

This last Saturday was the first craft fair of the year and it was nice to be out and about again seeing all the craft goers as well as both new and old customers.

Over the last week I have been working on some of the prettiest garnet nuggets that I have ever owned.  I used half a meter to make a three stranded necklace including gold dipped hematite and the end results are stunning.

Let me know what you think of this suite and don’t forget to tell me what you are creating.
