Rainbow Brite
I think I've become obsessed with my "use one of each colour" rule. Oh well, I like it, and to hell with anyone else who doesn't! With thanks to Magdalena from Magdabeads, I love my shamballas so getting them at such a good price is fantastic! xx

Macramade it!
My latest macrame bracelet. Since I haven't made one in a while this one was a bit of an experiment, which has turned out pretty well if I do say so myself! Hope you like it too!
Czech this out!
My Uncle Peter and Auntie Anne's Christmas presents, made using green and pink Czech crystal rondelles.

Love Bugs!
These wrapped wire bracelets were made using lucite leaves and glass ladybirds to look like bugs crawling across a branch.

Strawberries and Dreams
You know when you have a small amount of nice beads you cannot bear to use because they are too nice? Well, that's how I feel about my strawberry beads. Thankfully I finally found a good use for them. This lovely matching earrings and bracelet set.
The Big Blue
The first of these sea-themed bracelets was made by mixing a selection of beads into a 'bead soup', and randomly picking them. The second uses wire wrapping, a technique I have come to favour recently.

Ooh La La! French Fancy Rings!
Saturday, 1 September 2012
Regal Beauty
This took a very long time to make. It looks like a beadweaving project, but is actually a wirework project. I used high quality seed beads in lilac and gold, and 4mm Swarovski bicones to make the petals, then attached them to a comb.
More Wrapped Wire Bracelets
Another two I made. The bottom one doesn't have a clasp yet, but works just as well on my wrist (I make the clasps myself!)

Wrapped Wire Bangles
A new technique I learned. My favourite is the bottom one, it's made using Swarovski bicones!

Seafoam Mermaid
How do you like this spiral rope bracelet made with green and blue seed beads? The colours don't show up too well in this picture, in reality you can see there is actually a better range of blues and greens.

Hummingbird Heartbeat
The highlight of my day was making this, which I named after the Katy Perry song (it's not a single, for those who don't know it).
Art Deco?
I made these today, took me ages to do, I reckon they look a bit Art Deco, but what do you think?
Ribbon Necklaces
I love the pendants on these, the elephant I ordered from Hong Kong and the heart came free off of a magazine.
Wrapped Wire Spiral Bracelets
Okay, so I tried a different technique using wire to make bracelets without clasps that also are not tied, but that wrap around the wrist.
