Morning
This week I’ve gone for bright and sunny multi-colour crackle quartz! I used these large rounds to make a bubble style necklace with small rondels for the neckline and ear rings. Because the large stones are a good weight, I used a double strand for the neckline and the way the multi-coloured stones play with the light just adds to the joy of the piece.

Hi, Happy Easter
This week I have been
enjoying the springtime feeling and my love of bracelets, which I wear lots of
in Spring and Summer with shorter sleeves.
I have taken apart some
jewellery I was given which wasn’t really my style but it was full of beautiful
Toll beads. I have repurposed some of
them as the centre of what I think are really lovely slider bracelets.
I have also made some more rope
slider bracelets with various gemstones at the centre. They are of different
colours and shapes which I think are very appealing to both wear and look at.
I hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend and you are finding time to have some craft time.

Morning everybody
With Easter next weekend I have just finished the cutiest paper lantern and it is so much fun to make. The pattern came from Dreaming Tree which, if you follow me, you will know is my favourite online shop for paper construction designs.
So, after choosing just the right papers to show it off to its best, I made a carrot cottage with beautiful fronds on top, decorated with flowers and bling, and I think the end result is wonderful.
I hope you enjoy this design and whatever you are creating.
