Hot Reds

We've had a glut of 4mm soft-faceted beads... so every now and then, we make some little bracelets that we sell inexpensively - they're fun and pretty too. It's turned out to be a brilliant way of practising new designs and stitches, using up these beads... and if we really love a design, then we'll transfer the idea to using other beads.

Bead Happy!

Purple!!

This bracelet reminds me of a popular brand of chocolate - all decadent in purple and gold. The clasp is over an inch long, and shaped like a vine leaf - and matches the style of the bracelet beautifully. The puple AB rondelles are just gorgeous! In fact, they needed no other embellishment at all to show them off.

I think purple is a great choice for an Autumn colour :)

Red & Blue

"L" and her RAW "hugs'n'kisses" bracelets... she just loves making them! She chose deep christmas reds, and also icy winter blues for these designs...

Rows Of Rondelles...

"L" and I came across some beautiful rondelle crystals, and just had to snap them up and buy some to make trinkets. "L" made some "hugs'n'kisses" bracelets... but all the items we made were gorgeous, as the crystals were such a lovely quality.

I've only a close-up of these bracelets, as my camera doesn't like glitz and glamour in focus :)

So, So Busy!

It's all fair and good sitting here creating... but at some point we just have to stop (Waaa!) and write out the list.... THE list. The price list.  That's easy for anyone who's written down all their ins and outs of jewellery making. Unfortunately, we here at Elandesse aren't so organised. First, there was the new printer to contend with. Somebody (mention no names... "S"!!!) swore a LOT because after two hours she still hadn't got a Wireless Cloud (whatever that is *lol*), but at least the printer was working enough to print out photographs of all our products for a pricing book.

This all has to be done NOW, as we have bookings within the next week and a half and we have to know our stuff.

BUT...

we have been creating too.

This was originally going to be called "Barbie threw up in a bubblegum candy store"... bit of a mouthful though, so it has now been named "Bubblegum Barbie". It's so wonderfully 'in your face' and is guaranteed to make you smile when you wear it. More to show, so keep reading...

RAW Talent!

"L" loves the RAW way of styling a bracelet (Right-Angle-Weave)... and she just goes a bit mad sometimes making different designs n different patterns and colours...

The Crown Gems

The Crown Crystals, and The Crown Pearls... two sets of jewellery that are just so beautiful, and show how different a piece can look in different colours.

Lilac Heart

Okay, so there's no actual heart shapes or designs in this bracelet... it's one of several of the same design we do but in a different colour. This one reminded me so much of the ribbon on the purple heart medal... and so I've named it with respect to that medal.
