Another jewellery dose

Well, the past few weeks have been hectic. To prove how busy I've been, I bought a skirt for my Aerith Gainsborough cosplay which came three weeks ago... I haven't even had the time to take it out of the packaging yet!

Heres a few more items of jewellery which I completed recently:

 

Oriental earrings. Sorry the camera flash caught the coin charms a bit. For sale, £5.99.

Elephant earrings with goldstone and adventurine. For sale, £5.99.

Commission for a charity auction, with all money raised going to the NSPCC: www.nspcc.org.uk. The pendant is amethyst with hematite beads, and the earrings are purple miracle beads and Swarovski hearts.

I never properly posted the hairpiece I made for the May Ball, so here it is:

 

I chose to pick up on the baby blue on some of the flowers on my dress and work with that. The dress was high necked so didn't need a necklace, but I made a pair of earrings as well.
The earrings were made using glass flowers and chain, with some sparkly rondelle beads.

 
The hair piece was made by attaching a carved blue agate flower to a hair clip with wire, from which a length of chain could hang. This was braided into my hair, with glass flowers and silver dragonflies hanging down at intervals.

 

I was very pleased with the way it turned out, as I'd never done anything like it (both with jewellery and with my hair) before!

Hope you like the new jewellery!

I am truly truly sorry for neglecting my blog for so long. I really am.

The reason? University work (yay) combined with some unforeseen medical issues.

I can only apologise and try again, although I cant promise anything.

So... things to update on! Theres quite a lot!

It has been a good year :D Cambridge is a lot of fun (despite being hard work) and I've made some amazing friends. I even managed to pass my exams!

Stuff I'm working on at the moment...

I have a commission for a charity auction which is currently in progress. The bidder wanted amethyst and hematite, which is a lovely colour combination, so I shall post pictures when its finished!

I'm also working on a tiger eye and hematite pendant, as well as some other stuff.

I made my own hair piece and earrings for the May Ball:

Me and the boyfriend, looking very smart in white tie.

I discovered a passion for baking! Which is awkward as we don't have ovens at uni... If you know any good no bake cake recipes please let me know!

 

This is my Sticky Mars Bar Calorie Cake Of Doom, described by my friend as the amazing chocolate heaven thing. Who needs ovens???

I haven't forgotten the steampunk stuff, I promise! Things got in the way!

There has been some good fancy dress however...

Pirate punting races on the Cam! I wish I'd got a better picture of my hair, it was epic :D

I'm currently working on River Song and Aerith Gainsborough cosplays. River Song is for a uni charity event I'm planning on doing next term (with my boyfriend as the Eleventh Doctor), and the Aerith one is for the off chance that I have enough money to go to a convention in August. Plus I have been told I look like both.

River Song cosplay, work in progress.

I hope you all have been well :D I look forward to reading all the blog posts I have to catch up on...
