A new necklace

One of my new purchases from last week is a lovely clay bunny pendant from Kylie Parry (who's having a special sale today only - hop over to her blog or facebook page for more details) and I knew I had to keep this one for myself...I have made myself a simple (very simple for me!) necklace combining the pendant with some pretty turquoise beads - a couple of vintage Vaseline glass rondelles, a couple of semi-precious and a tiny blue Czech rondelle. All strung on some pretty cool Vintaj chain...I don't use loads of chain in my designs but I'm thinking perhaps I should include more....hmmm....


Pretty crappy photo I know (tried a new spot I thought would work well for these....it really didn't...) but hopefully you get the idea! I think necklaces are just the hardest to shoot, I just don't know where to hang them....


This one is a little better. I love this wee girl! She's so very sweet. SO nice to have a piece of bunny jewellery that isn't all cutesy etc. The necklace goes with the majority of my wardrobe (mainly on the blue-green spectrum...) and yes, it's another teal and brown piece....what can I say, they just go so well together! 

Hope you're all having a great weekend.

Another win...hurrah!


I've done it again....some of these lovely green (SO my colours!) beads are heading my way soon courtesy of Jen Judd Velasquez. Thanks so much Jen! I am so excited by this pile of green goodness and can't wait to see what goodies you will pick for me :-)

Ceiba Completion!





I have finished my Ceiba commission! I sewed my last stitch just after midnight on Friday night which is about 3 1/2 weeks since I received the commission. I really hope my lovely Edinburgh folk who it is for like it! I am very pleased with it - it has pushed me in a direction that I would not have gone in otherwise. With my (admittedly limited so far!) bead embroidery, I have never been tempted to create anything pictorial - I usually go freeform - and I haven't done much combining of bead embroidery and bead weaving as yet. So this project has been just great for pushing my personal boundaries! Unfortunately I haven't sent it as yet; when I went to the post office on Saturday morning, I was told that (due to our postal strikes) Special Delivery could not be guaranteed. So I will try again tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed! Here are some pics for you to see the spoils of my labour...
