Necklaces...

Here are some necklaces I've been making:

Favourite Set of Jewellery so Far...

I made this necklace, earrings & ring with August's challenge pack from Bright Sparkle Beads (I think it's a great idea, you buy a bag of surprise goodies & make something with them for the chance to win a voucher).  I didn't win but I do love these & I was really pleased that someone loved them as much as I do & bought the necklace & earrings (I kept the ring for myself cos it is my fav lol).

BMS Festival

I  had a jewellery stall at the Body, Mind & Spirit Festival on August Bank Holiday Monday & what a wonderful day it was.  My cousin Rae came along to help & it was great to catch up with her.  It was also great to get feedback & see what styles people like.  Here are a few photos - sorry they are not very good (I don't know why they are so grainy):

Various Necklaces (& a pair of earrings)

Wedding Jewellery

My eldest son Craig got married to his fiancee Zoe at the weekend & the day was absolutely perfect.  I was really pleased with my wedding outfit which was turquoise/teal (I will blog photos later) & I made this set of jewellery to go with it, made with freshwater pearls & shell.

Found this Fab Blog :)

Work in Progress

My son is marrying his long-term girlfriend on 28th July & I was over the moon when she asked me to make her wedding jewellery.  She wanted to keep it simple, just plain pearls & this is a photo of it being made (I haven't got a photo of the finished set but she didn't want the hearts on).  I will post a photo of her wearing it after the wedding.

Still Catching Up...

I HAVE been making jewellery but I haven't had enough time to blog it.   So I will be posting a bit here & there when I get the time (there just aren't enough hours in the day what with working, family, my paper crafting & main blog + jewellery making - I'd love to do some sewing as well but that ain't gonna happen unless I win the lottery so I can give up work lol).  This necklace was made with some hand painted glass beads, some quartz crystal chips, crackle glass beads & faux pearls.

Necklace & Earring Set

I brought 2 bracelets on ebay with these gorgeous heart beads & thought I would make some earrings & pendants with them (& there's loads left, I've also used them for a key chain which I will show later).
