Eni inspired jewellery

I have been quite productive this week and will post as soon as I take pics ( isn't that the hardest part?)

Anyhow here is my Eni inspired bangel and vintage earrings, all sterling silver, swarovski crystals and various gemstones, oh and the earrings have vintage buttons (victorian I think)

I love them and wear them all the time :)

boy is it raining....

It is absolutely pouring in brisbane and I wish I could stay at home and bead..... but off to my day job I go....

but in the mean time I found this - link

a website full of unusal illustrations from great illustrators - from advertising and books, perfect for inspiration if you are a bit vintage inspired like me :)

oh and lots of fun just to look through of course!!

Memories

I am a member of an Australian Beading Forum (www.beadingforum.com.au) and they have a weekly comp for "Year of Jewellery".

This Theme inspired me - I had so many ideas but limited time so I went to my favorite vintage stampings and started making a necklace that told a story of love - precious memories.

Composed of swarovski crystals, czech crystals and vintage brass and copper stampings.  A little bit vintage, almost steam punk.  I love this style.  I use to do heaps of jewellery like this, but seem to be doing more and more seed work nowdays.....
