Poor neglected blog. Not sure why I haven't been posting, I have been busy making and listing, and have had a few sales on Etsy (and one on Folksy) which is always good for morale. I treated myself to a new gizmo - the 'deluxe' version with five different thicknesses of coiler, so had some fun with coiled wire jewellery.
This bracelet has double coiled 'beads' with pink crackle agate and smoky quartz cubes. It's a bit of a big statement piece, but I'm very pleased with it.
The earrings are a bit more manageable for everyday wear, and they've been nicknamed 'Around the Globe' because the mosaic turquoise stones look just like a map of the world!
Meanwhile, I've been having an ancient world inspired season. This bag charm with the lovely yellow and green agate vase bead sold on Etsy for a mother's day present.
And this charm bracelet has a similar feel about it, I think. So many of my creations these days look like they could have been dug up - perhaps I should bury a few in the back garden!!
Finished off this love knot bracelet - the matching earrings sold so this is the last in the series.
And finally, a little flower wire woven with tiny pearls and pale blue sari silk necklace.
Hope you like the creations. Let me know if you have a favourite.
