Copper Lace

Had a relaxing day at home yesterday and got inspired by a new technique I saw and made these earrings which led onto making the pendant. 

Moonstone, quartz, matsuno's and copper.

Polymer clay mini roses.

This isn't how I do my large roses but looks like a neat and easy way to make mini ones!!

Tale of a fish

I have been making this necklace for ages....

Finally got around to putting the clasp on today :)

The fish is lampwork bymy friend Deb from Debbie Does beads and the tail is wirewrapped and embelished with seed beads, catseye beads and czech leaves.

I think it is really beautiful, but not sure what to wear it with though...

New bloom necklace

Made another version of the Bloom necklace over the wekeend because we had trouble sourcing all the materials in time for the class at Mad Monnies.  I think I like this one even more !!!

How to etch beads

I noticed lots of new designs for sea glass and recycled glass jewelry and have a few frosted beads in my stash, but wondered if you could make things look like this yourself at home .
