Another Lady Luck

Another entry into the Beading Friends Forever October Challenge.....I've changed the pattern slightly by using smaller beads and less seeds, the result is the same though.  I've used 6mm AB Crystal clear round beads, a pink/lilac mix pearlised seeds and amethyst montees. 

Goddess and more!

I've been meaning to have a go at the goddess style bracelets but never got around to it - well this morning I'm on a roll - 3 created along with another 'Lady Luck' bracelet and my own design with the skulls and black bracelet.  Hope you like them - have a great weekend.

Gorgeous 'Goddess' style bracelet, this one is made using 8mm blue frosted glass beads and silver tone heavy jump rings with a silver coloured lobster claw claps.

Another entry for the Beading Friends Forever October challenge - this time using smaller AB clear round beads, lilac/pink mix pearlised seed beads and amethyst montees.

I'm really loving this style bracelet - its so effective, this time using bright pink glass beads and the heavy silver tone jump rings finished off with a t.bar fastener.

 

I've gone big and chunky on this Goddess bracelet & earring set.  12mm glass metallic beads with double large silver tone jump rings - its just stunning and the photo doesn't quite capture the effect.  I so luv this one - think it's my favourite so far.  Both items finished of with silver tone metal findings.

And finally (I've been busy this morning lol) I've had these silver skull beads for almost a year trying to think what to do with them and here's the result - a simple ladder stitch using 4mm ab black glass beads, 6mm opaque black glass beads and a silver tone t.bar fastener.  Really quite fun but expensive looking.

 

Have a fun weekend everyone - I'm back to do more 'makings' I've got an itch and it needs scratching.

Lady Luck

I've really enjoyed creating this gorgeous bracelet, I think the colours are so luxurious and it wouldn't be out of place in the top London Jewellers windows, even if I do say so myself.  Watch this space, there'll be more to come in different colours - well Santa is looking for special presents for special people!!  This is for this months challenge over at Beading Friends Forever  from  a video pattern shared by Honeybeads, why not come on over and join us.  Have a lovely weekend and happy beading x

Cocktail BLING!

A little beady project following the tutorial on this months crafty challenge over at Beading Friends Forever....this one is using green crystal bi-cones and metallic seed beads - very Christmassy I think!  Hope you like this effort.

Septembers Birthstone

I almost forgot this little number, created with genuine Red Carnelian which I'm told is Septembers birthstone, so very apt for this months Beading Friends Forever challenge.

 

Happy Sunday everyone xx

A chip off the old block!

Good morning everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am.

Septembers Birthstone

Hello blog land, it's been awhile, I've had a busy few months with family and holidays etc etc oh my crazy life!  And now the weather has turned and it's back to cosy nights and weekends in with my beady stash!  So, I was asked if I had any Red Carnelian and could I come up with a birthday gift using it, as it's the birthstone of September - I hadn't realised this!  Here is what I created using Red Carnelian, gold stardust spacer beads and gold finished chain and findings, pictured below is a jewellery set including necklace with extender chain, bracelet & earrings.   I'm also entering this into Beading Friends Forever monthly challenge 'Anything goes'.
