Pendant and Earrings Set

I seem to be making a lot of these rings lately! I think I am going to stop now after I have finished the one I am doing now (which will be a ring).

I seem to get caught up in things until I get sick of making them and then never do them again! Little and often would probably the best way to be...

Lariat and Pendant

The first three pictures are a pendant I have made. I was aiming for a ring but got the sizing slightly wrong, so turned it into a pendant! It looks fab hanging from a simple silver chain, and has 3mm fire-polished beads to give it that bit of subtle sparkle.

The last three pictures are of a lariat I made over the last few days. It grew organically, from a basic idea that changed as I went along. I can't get the colours quite right but you get the general idea!

I made another one of the 'earrings' in my previous post. I realised that I had made a teensy mistake in the first one, but it would not have been at all noticeable. Then, I had almost completed the second one when I realised that something was horribly wrong with THAT one! Gah! So, I made the first one into a pendant and strung a necklace to hang it from. Job done.

Crafters always say that things are never mistakes but 'happy accidents' and that is so true!

A Second Freeform Bracelet and a Pendant

This time, I used a bead mix from The Bead Merchant, called 'Pot Pourri'. I have had it for ages and never known what to do with it! Yesterday's class solved that...

This pendant is made with another Bead Merchant mix, called 'Misty'. I think it is really cute and am now trying to decide how to hang it!

Brick Stitch 'Feather' Pendant

This pendant was inspired by some earrings in a book, but only loosely. The actual design and make-up was my own. I love the mix of turquoise and brown/bronze - it is so lovely. I am going to put this in my Folksy shop without a chain, so someone can decide for themself how to wear it. I could not decide on a ribbon, chain or thong, as all would look lovely in my opinion.

Orders From a Jewellery Party

A friend held a jewellery party for me yesterday (thanks Jo!) I did ok for sales but also took a fair few orders. I made the easier/quicker ones up when I got back will post about the other ones as they get done. I met a few very nice people and had a chatty couple of hours while getting rid of some of my creations - bliss!

Crafter...oo 'Bright' Partner Challenge

I have been paired up with Rachel at GlamGlass Gifts for this challenge. She made the glass pendant and I needed to make something to hang it from. I am about 1/3 of the way through, but thought I would post a picture at this point, just for interest.
