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!

Rose Spritzer

We so wish the camera could have picked up the delicate pink hues of this bracelet - the photographs do it little justice.

This piece is a flat-spiral design with swarovski crystals and bicones, with silver-lined seedbeads... lovely for a prom night outfit!

Autumn Gold

Loved this simple design of lacy necklace! "S" chose autumn colours and made the "Autumn Gold" necklace, and "L" chose pinks and created the "Fizzy Pink" lace necklace.

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!

Modern Millie

"S" seems to have lost her marbles... and found pearls instead! She's ordering in loads of pearls and seed beads in pink, black and white... so "L" has been slaving away trying to create some new collections with a fun, modern feel.

Welcome to the "Modern Millie" collection...

Bead Happy!

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...

Duchess

"Ooh...  wearing this I'd feel as if I should go and have tea with the Duchess" said "S". Duchess? "What Duchess?" asked "L"... but  there was no reply as "S" had the idea that the pretty mauve-y/pink and gold bracelet needed extras - like earrings and a necklace - and off she went into her own little world of jewellery design! Well, at least her ramblings gave us a name for the set...

The Duchess Set!

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...

Racy Lacy...

Some bracelets are a bit addictive. You make one, and then end up wondering how it would look in other colours, others crystals or gems... That's how it was with the lacy bracelets. It started off with the Victoriana Romance, quickly followed by the Clear Crystal:

 Then the Nouveau:

And also the Gold Glint:

Bead Happy!
