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!

Book Marks!

The crosses that we make have been hugely popular, with commissions coming in from so many people... and we do enjoy making them in the varying colours that people ask for. We decided to incorporate the crosses into charms on metal bookmarks... one pale blue - very Christmassy and icy, and one with a more gothic feel using black glass pearls and deep red delicas.

Spinning Spirals

I taught myself a bit of spiral stitch, and used some beads that I had no idea what to do with before. Although I do think the necklaces are pretty, they are time-consuming to make... and a bit boring, as you use the same stitch over and over and over again!

I love the colours of these though... wintery blues and icy whites... and a beautiful autumn-themed necklace of greens, deep orangey golds and bronzy browns.

Triangular Fun

Just a little experiment here making the triangles... but if you wear this bracelet with the chains and charms dangling at the side of the wrist, it's utterly eye-catching and beautiful!

The triangles are a variation on a design by "Beading4Perfectionists" - search for her on You Tube.

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...

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!

Tuts Royal Blue

 "S" made this simple lace necklace with crystal hilights... and the colours just reminded her of Tutankhamen's mask...

The pattern may have been inspired by a Sandra D.Halpenny design.

Crystal Cuff

These were so much fun to make - of course "S" had the green colours, and "L" chose the blue :)

We always think how funny it is how a different bead - even if it's supposed to be the same size - will end up making a bracelet that's longer or shorter than when using another bead.

Something to ponder...

Twisted Pearl

"S" made this necklace...

 ... and decided to use a side-clasp instead of a traditional back-centre one. When we made different colours - something with a more modern feel, we decided to stick with a back-clasp - and made bracelets too!

Anyone For Tennis?

Tennis bracelets... so pretty, elegant - and easy to wear!

We made these all slightly different - in colours, crystal choices, and finishing... and they are our new favourite!

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.

Bead Happy!

LuvlyBubbly

Bicone crystals and blue faux pearls make up this quirky bracelet...

Seeing Stars

A quick little post to show off the pretty earrings and ring called "Seeing Stars". Starlight or starfish...? You decide :)
