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!

Soon It'll Be Christmas!

Really... "S" will be putting up her tree tomorrow!

And with all the busy times ahead, we still have time to think up something 'new'. It started with this craze for little bottles, which stemmed from the whole steam-punk fashion craze. Little bottles are cute, and "S" has at least a hundred of them (seriously - she really does have a lot more than a hundred!). So, what could we do with all these cute little 1.5" tall bottles with cork bungs?

"I know!" exclaimed "S" one day... "We'll make them into Christmas decorations".

She made it sound so easy and simple. It wasn't!

First of all, we had to think of designs that would fit into the bottles... then get the fiddly things actually inside the tiny bottles too! Not all our designs are based on beading - though there is some kind of beading on each of the bottles - all of them have beaded ribbon holders. The angels were the hardest - trying to get those little suckers to fit in the bottles was a bit trying to say the least! Maybe angels just shouldn't be stuffed into tiny bottles? Anyway... the end product does look really good - though the close-ups and photography work really does NOT do them justice.

Bit of a shame you can't see the little beaded gold haloes... they really are cute!

Display Designs

When we go to people's homes for a jewellery party, displaying our designs can sometimes be a bit higgledy-piggledy. Thank goodness for Christmas then! We found these cute Christmas Trees and "S" just knew how to use them. They had to be gently wire-brushed and then sprayed to fix the glitter.... but they're perfect for showing off some of our new sets of jewellery. The only problem is that the shop where we bought them have now sold out!

The silver trees are showing off some new designs - all in the Autumn and Winter colours that are a must-have this season!

Cute Cuffs!

Every now and then, we come across a design that we ("S"!) just fall in love with... so much that we (not really "we"... just "S"!) choose to make a lot of the same design in differing colours.

That's what happened here... though we have to say that these bracelets are just so beautiful... we would wear them all the time!

We made some for Autumn (note that the purple design is slightly different, the pattern being a chevron rather than just the diagonal of the others)...

A couple for Christmas...

And then one that was to see if we could use more beads, and bigger beads in a similar design - and this one looks amazing when worn!...

You may be seeing more of these... we're thinking, crystals maybe? and we have some gorgeous mini-pearls in coffee and creams that would look stunning too!

Bead Happy!

Frosty Fun

This bracelet and necklace could be worn in any season... look at that pattern - it could be snowflakes, stars, starfish or flowers...

Whatever you want it to be, one thing is sure... It's so pretty!

Bead Happy!

Yuletide...

We started a few Holiday pieces early - and "S" loves anything to do with the Yuletide season!

Evergreen:

 Merry Berry (which now has it's gold-tone clasp added):

 and a small selection of our snowflake earrings:

And Finally... "S" finished the Christmas Wreath earrings she started AGES ago!

Bead Happy!
