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...

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!

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!

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.

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!

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...

Bead Happy!

Going Green!

I really don't know what to call this necklace... it's green, and it's... um... green. The clasp isn't quite right, so it may end up in the 'bargain bucket' at a jewellery party... still - I do love those green seed beads :)

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!

Bead Happy!

Crusade

"L" has gone MAD... making RAW bracelets with any crystals, gems, pearls and beads she can get her hands on... it's becoming quite a crusade :)

Her latest...

a gorgeous crystal bracelet with hints of gold...

With earrings to match!

 

Bead Happy!
