A few more things!



This afternoon I have been playing around oxidising a few pairs of fine silver earrings I've made. Also a few other pairs of earrings I've put together in the last few days, all the lampwork beads made by me :) I've also included a before and after shot of the oxidised onyx briolette earrings I made today. You can see what a difference it has made to the look of the piece :)

New jewellery!






I have been beading away the last few weeks, getting ready for a local Art and Craft Show I have once again been invited to sell at :D
These are just a few

Lampwork bits and pieces ♥


I finally got a chance to make a few beads yesterday afternoon! It had been so long since I had, felt like forever! Hopefully I'll ge a chance in the next few days before it all gets packed away again for the house move :) This is just a group shot of beads I've made recently, most of them are pairs of beads I'll make into earrings. Enjoy!

Goddess beads and other stuff



What a busy few weeks I have been having, I have kind of forgotten all about blogland lately! Our house has been sold so we are getting ready for another move, its not even 12 months since we were in this place! Oh well. I had a look at a beautiful home today a few minutes out of town , its a beautiful place, nice and peaceful too :) I'll be crossing everything for the next couple of days!
I have been making bits and pieces of jewellery, and making lampwork beads when I can as well. I have had another go at making goddess beads again, but I really need a kiln to stop the cracking, its driving me nuts! Ah well, hopefully soon! Here are the last couple I made :)

Another new Cab



I finally completed this beautiful fused glass cab last night. I've been trying to get it done for a couple of weeks now, but other things got in the way. The fused Glass cabochon is made by Liz Deluca, a very talented lampwork and fusing artist. This piece is made using seedbeads in size 11 and 15. I have another cab of Liz's I'm working on today as well, hopefully will have pics by tonight :)

Seed beads and Cabochons!





Lately I have been getting back to seed beading. I'm really loving it too, it has been quite a while since I've been wanting to create with these tiny little things, really enjoying it. So this is just a few new pieces I have whipped up in the last week or so...

Recent Beads





I've been a bit slack lately, with updating this! I haven't really been making much jewellery, but the torch has been calling me! I've upgraded to a fantastic minor burner, and I am really loving the change. So here's a bit of what I've been up to lately :)
