Wire working.......

Happy weekend everyone,  I've had a play with wire work, something I've been wanting to try for sometime now and when the challenge over at Beading Friends Forever called for a 'Pendant' of any kind I thought this is my chance to make an effort.  So here is my entry, it's a gorgeous piece of natural Amethyst which I have copper wire wrapped and woven (simple for a first timer lol) and oh boy does it hurt tender fingers....will have to get hardened and do a few more.

 

Hope you like it.  Call over to my Facebook page anytime and check out all my latest creations:

My Crafty Little Habit

Well that's it for now, have a great Bank Holiday weekend.

 

Happy Days....

What a wonderful weekend we've actually saw quite a bit of the sun & that's got to be a positive!  Here are a few items I've been making over the last week or so along with a view of my set up when I had my first sale.  Hope you've had a fabulous holiday weekend as much as I have, now I have my son's visit to look forward to - Happy days :o)

This little beauty is using the 'shell' oil on water Kite beads with beautiful dark brown wooden beads as a showcase.  The combo looks so well together.

Another addition to my 'Mens' range, this time a simple wood bead combo.  The mens range is starting to build up well now.

This is a real 'summer stunner' stretchy is turquoise blue round beads with small blue and medium clear faceted bicone crystals, double strung with antique silver coloured connectors.

Orange tone real chunky Chacha stretchy

More stunning chunky Chacha stretchies here but this time in Pink, Black and Green tones.

 

AND finally my set up for the girlie night I had recently to showcase my jewellery. 

 

Many thanks for dropping by and please come back again soon xxx Lynne xxx



I'm on a roll.......

Evening all, well I don't know what's got into me tonight but I'm full of inspiration..........7 items - must be something in the water lol.  Here's my lot for tonight, hope you like them as much as I did making them :o)

Purple glass pearls with antiqued silver (coloured) bead caps and clear crystal bicones in this chunky stretchy.

At last!  (said the hubby) men's jewellery.  Coconut shell beads with brown glass bead spacers make up this stretch necklace.  A must have summer accessory for any man.

This necklace is just stunning, I wish I could get the camera to show to full potential but no, my photography isn't that good.  Turquoise mother of pearl kite shaped beads, clear crystal bicones and silver stardust beads form the main, finished off with a silver coloured chain.  It just slips over the head so no fastener required here. 

Simply gorgeous chunky stretchy, acrylic beads of different shapes in pearlised pink and silver.

Love this Mans set, milky white wooden beads that look like back bone segments & to add a contrast I've interspaced with bronze beaded balls.  Imagine how great this will look on a lovely tanned body on the beach this summer!

 

And finally (phew) beautiful dark wood round beads and to add to the luxury the contrast on this one is Pyrite (fools gold).

 

Well I think I've earned a glass of vino now, so I'll bid you farewell and goodnight and hope to see you back here again tomorrow for another instalment.

 

Thanks so much for dropping by - Lynne x

Another weekend.....

Hi all, well here we are again and another weekend almost passed!  I wish I knew where the time went lol.  I've put my toe into the big scary world of wire work today - seriously, just the very tip, and made a pair of earrings, I need lots more practice with this work so that will be my next hurdle to conquer.  I've also had the sewing needles out again and put together this bracelet.  Hope you like them.

Wirework earrings with silver coloured swirled wire and blue metallic beads.

These 2 photos are of a beautiful flat spiral stitched bracelet, made this time using 2 different tones of blue jade and highlighted with a pearlised pale blue seed bead.

 

Drop by again sometime, thanks for stopping by.

 

Good night all - Lynne xx

Bracelet Bonanza

Hello everyone, I'm still blogging :o)  Well I'm still in the bracelet mood, so here's another couple of 'makes' in shades of pink.  Have a great weekend x Lynne

 

Another Chacha but in Pink by request.....seems to be a popular style.

 

And still in the pink mood, here's another Triple Shamballa.

 

And finally, my best yet! Black and Gold beaded Kumihimo, this looks sooooo special in 'real life'!  "I will get the hang of this" has been my moto for the last couple of weeks, and at last its paying off.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, do come back again.

Good evening....

Hi everyone, here we are again, after another lovely warm day.....will it last I wonder, very much doubt it unfortunately!  Still here I am after another few successful 'plays', I do hope you like them....feel free to leave your comments and suggestions.

Here I've made a Triple Shamballa using glass pearls and gold stardust beads, so effective and even more stunning than photo allows to show through.  Fantastic bridal season jewellery, for bride, brides mother or even bridesmaid gifts.

My first beaded Kumihimo, very 'faffy' but worth the effort, looks blue here but it's actually in pale lilac and purple magatama beads.

And finally, 2 Chacha stretchies in blue multi shaped/finish glass beads, and in white multi shaped/finish glass beads.

I'm off to chill with a nice cold glass of white wine now so enjoy the rest of your evening all, whatever you're up to.  Good night, god bless - Lynne xxx.

A better day.....

Well today has been a much better day for me, I actually feel like I've accomplished something instead of 'undoing' everything I touched yesterday lol.

The sunshine does funny things to me.......I thought of flowers and just had to make this flower macramé bracelet using some colourful wooden beads I had.  I love it, hope you do too.

 

Someone shared a link with me for jewellery patterns and I made this blue/silver creation from it, this is my twist on the pattern which was originally cream pearls and gold findings (maybe next time!), sits beautifully on the neckline.

 

And finally today I finished off this beaded bracelet which has taken ages to do as its such a strain on the eyes.  Using genuine bronze potato pearls and gold lined seed beads for this 'Baroque' style bracelet - very classy.
