the internet has been reconnected, yay!

Here is what I have been working on since we finished unpacking our boxes.

on the move ...

The rubber duckies were on the move again. They now have their own baththub in a fabulous new appartment (credit crunch isnt all bad news... it's a renter's market). I'll be posting more as soon as the internet is back up and running!

recycling..

The clear breads were leftover from a wedding bracelet I made for a friend, the green beads are recycled from a necklace I broke years ago. Together... they make very dainty looking necklace.

addicted to copper wire...

I'm not too sure about the metallic blue... but I am having great fun with copper wire ;)

More copper wire and some leftover beads ...

Bracelet made from copper wire and seed beads

Necklace: nylon & black seed beads

Quiet January...

To recover from the festive season, I am spending a lot of time at home. This means i have plenty of time to make more jewellery. Here is what I have been working on this first week of the year...

I've discovered a new technique using copper wire. It allows me to create my own beads in a range of colour. They look great on a long necklace like this one, but i have idea for bracelet and earrings so watch this space.

I also wanted to use up the spare glass beads left from previous necklaces. I decided to combine them with black seed beads. I think it gives the necklace a more "wintery" kinda look compared to previous necklace. Looks its best worn over a nice jumper, sitting by a fireplace sipping a hot chocolate... :)

I'm back ... no kidding! :)

Oh yes i keep saying i'll be back and then nothing happens... but watch this space!:)
PS: Happy new year to y'all!
