Some new bits n bobs...

This was made for my nephew.I find it so difficult to make a card for a boy who's at that inbetween age!

This was made for my neighbour who is turning 21.Oh I feel old! lol  

 I made this PMC piece ages ago but never managed to do anything with it until I did a wee pearl knotting class.Of course it didn't go as planned and had to take it apart as I miscounted silver beads for the ends...my mind went doolally!Anyway got it finished only to discover it was just a bit too big.GRRR!I will either take it back and re do or will sell it.

This was made for my friend who just gave birth at the end of May.Felt like something not too babyish and came up with this.

Made this using Artisan Lampwork beads,Citrine Gemstones,Brass Leaf clasp and swarovski beads.

My first attempt at pearl knotting and quite pleased with the outcome!

Helm Chainmaille Bracelet

 I made this from Sterling Silver with an Onyx box clasp.I just love this weave.I remember the first time trying it out and thinking oh flip this is driving me nuts and then as most chainmaille weaves a little light goes on and hey presto as easy as pie!It's so much nicer to work with Sterling than base metals but it costs much more so have to just do a few every so often.

Queensmaille bracelet

 Was having a wee play with some jumprings and beads and made this.It makes a change from silver.

All my jewellery are available through my Etsy shop link at top right corner for those wanting a wee look. xx

Freshwater Pearls and Gemstone Pendant Necklace

Just a simply strung necklace with freshwater pearls,swarovski crystals,sterling silver beads and clasp and gemstone focal bead which I think is Agate but it's that long since I bought it and couldn't find the tag that I've forgotten what it is so if I am wrong and someone can correct me then let me know what it is.
