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!

Some new jewellery

I've been on a real jewellery making spree these past few days! Unfortunately, I've been hit by the curse of getting halfway through a piece and then realising you don't have the right beads or findings to finish it, so I cant share everything with you just yet :(

Here are the things I have completed:


These were done during term time because I needed a break from revision. I quite like the wire spiral spacers.

Made this morning, a gorgeous bracelet with triangular blue-centred glass beads and purple miracle beads.

 
 
 

I absolutely love this bracelet. I may keep it for myself :P The contrast of the colours against the silver wire works beautifully. I'm currently making more in different colour combinations.

One colour combination I tried was pink and black:


These will be for sale. Please let me know which colour combinations you think would work!

I found these silver sharks teeth earrings for a bargain at River Island! They reminded me of Megalodon teeth, so I had to buy them! I'm not sure whether to leave them as they are or replace the cream acrylic bead with something prettier...

 
Let me know what you think!

Finally, a few items have sold recently so I've updated the for sale page :)

Hope you like the new jewellery :) More to come!
