Getting back into it

I've made jewellery on and off for maaany years now, but never seem to got round to making any last year. Three weeks into 2014 and I've already made five pairs of earrings and a necklace, here's hoping it continues!

If you are interested in purchasing any of the items below, please comment!


The first thing I made this year whilst cuddled up with a film (The Great Gatsby I seem to remember), was this woven necklace in deep reds and blues. The pendant is a large glass structure in similar shades of blue, set with blue and red flowers in the glass




Over two further crafting sessions (again in front of the telly) I made these five pairs of earrings

 These two pairs are drop earrings comprised of glass beads with flowers set in them. Both are made using silver plated earring hooks












The next two pairs are a similar wire wrapped style, with glass beads at the centre of the wire. I make these in a variety of colour combinations, I chose these colours as they are fresh and delicate ready for when Spring is (finally) here






















This is DEFO my favourite style of earring to make. They're slightly more fiddly to make, more so than the wire wrapped ones above, but I think the finished results is worth it. The flower/beads used are all plastic, making them extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. Again I make these in a variety of colour combinations, all of which match the spring/summer theme.
