Not Just Jewellery....

I have started to incorporate a lot of my crafting skills into Elandesse... like making miniatures into rings and earrings :) Thinking about this, Elandesse will now include Patchwork Apples as part of the company... as well as an up-and-coming business called "Gift Witches" - more on that soon :)

Of course, Elandesse has already embarked on other ideas and business opportunities - such as Ginny's Den (pet jewellery and accessories), so it's nothing new to be joining up with other people to create what will be a perfect gift and shopping experience :)

Adding cards and cakes to the mix will be "Cards, Cakes & Crafts"  so there will be the perfect card and/or cake to go with your chosen gift.

 

Don't forget to check out the news page and see when I'll be selling at another fete in the Southampton area :)  (that'll be July 19th - Sholing - Be There!!)

Magical Mauve

Beautiful deep mauve and mink coloured glass pearls and crystals were used to make this substantial set - and we liked it so much, we decided to make another set in gold, black and white...

Each piece makes a bold and beautiful statement... gorgeous!

Pearl Frost

A very simple RAW design using icy-cool grey and white glass pearls...

Purple Fantasy

Something a little different for this set... a choker instead of a necklace or pendant. We decided on using a piece of soft ribbon as a tie - so much more versatile... and so pretty too!

Ocean Flower

Every now and then, we come across beads so beautiful that we hardly want to use them and just keep them in a box and look at them instead :) Of course, we wouldn't want to keep them to ourselves really, and use them to make beautiful jewellery like this set...

Spiral Motes

We adore these little hanging decorations for the tree - and decided to only make them in silver/white and in gold - this way everyone can add these pretty little spirals to their tree decoration collection!

The gold design has a little star dangling from the bottom, and the silver/white comes with three different choices of snowflake charms added. So sweet! They catch the light so gorgeously - a real sparkler to add to our tree!

Oh, Pea-lease!

Beaders are a funny lot. We really are! Today I was sat here thinking about making jewellery, when I should have been in the kitchen preparing dinner. The guilt of not having a meal on the table for when the family returned home was obviously playing on my mind a little... along with the question of whether I should add pea's to the dinner dish...? You see, beading whilst my mind is on other things can make you do funny things...

Yes, instead of making dinner and dishing up peas, I made the cutest pea-pod necklace. The photographs don't show how sweet this little pendant is - it's so cute!

Maybe I should shirk my kitchen responsibilities more often...?

Bead Happy!
