Well I have finally got the website up and running! Its taken so long, I was trying to code it all myself but I gave up :( I just don't have the skills and there is only so much that you can learn from u-tube lol. I decided in the end to go with wix and I have to say that I had so much fun playing with it. There is still lots of things to add and I do have a domain name keajewellery.co.uk so I will be linking the site with that soonish. Well here it is feel free to take a look.
Wow Have I been busy! I haven't stopped. There is so much to show you that I wont have room to put it all up today so here are a few of my most recent designs.
Here are a few necklaces using some artisan lampwork beads, tho top two are made by Tania Grey The third one is from a set that I bought on ebay the other day, byShahlaa, the colours are just gorgeous! Thank you
so here are the photos
And surprise surprise some more tiara's! LOL
I hope you have enjoyed looking please feel free to leave a comment, no need to be shy! :) some more will be on its way soon.
Wow Tiaras! I love them, as you may have already guessed! lol. I have been thinking about making these for a while now, but so far I have not had the courage. I was in my local craft shop yesterday when I stumbled upon a book on sale all about tiaras and how to make them. Well as you can imagine that went strait into my basket and I couldn't wait to get it home and have a good look at it. It was all I could do not to sit on the floor right there and examine every page! I couldn't wait to have a go myself, so here is what I have made today.....
I hope that you all like it. I am very pleased with it :D Feel free to leave a comment, I appreciate all of them. Hugs Kaylie x
I love this necklace! I have used 8mm and 4mm Lapis Lazuli beads for this. I linked them together as I hand wrapped each bead. It did take about an hour and a half but I love it! I have an order for one like this but n red colours so I will show a piccy when I have finished that.
Also, Yay! I have boxes now! :D They are simple pillow boxes with a branded wrap. They are so simple but I think that they look really good. OK so thats all for today. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think, especially about the boxes I would love some feedback on those. Kaylie x
OK so I have finished making all of the items that were ordered on Friday. I am very happy with them and I don't really want to part with the purple charm bracelet! Oh well I will just have to make myself one another time! :) Well here are all the photos that I promised.......
These are a matching set, and I think that they go really well together.
The other charm bracelet that was ordered was the blue one from a couple of posts ago. Like I said I am really pleases with these. Let me know what you think... Kaylie
Well I got a call from my SIL last night say that a couple of the girls that she works with want to order some more jewellery from me! A purple charm bracelet and a blue one, also a a bangle like the last one that I did but in red with some matching earrings. Not sure how I am going to do that yet but I'm sure I will figure it out. I will post pics once I am done so watch this space!
Wow I cant believe it! I did it I am now selling on Etsy. I only have two item listed though! :) Please have a look and let me know what you think, I would gratefully receive any comments that you might have. He He I am so excited! There will be many more things listed over the next few days. I promise.
Hello again. I have been busy again since my last post making these gorgeous spiral wrapped bracelets. I really enjoy making them as they allow my mind to wonder. This one below I have used some Amber coloured glass beads of varying different shapes, sizes and finishes. It has a hook and eye clasp made from 18g SP wire. The beads are wrapped and linked with 24g SP wire.
These ones below are made using glass beads that I have had for a while. They have an iridescent layer on them that makes them look very special but is very hard to photograph! lolI have used the same wire as before in the above bracelet.
This bracelet Is a little bit different in that I used 20g SP wire to wrap and link the beads. I think I like it better with 20g wire. It looks neater and a bit sturdier than the ones above. I did make this one first but I didn't have enough 20g wire to do more than this one! lol when I get my hands on some more then I think I will be making some more!
I think that I had almost as much fun taking these photos as I did making these pieces. Thank you for looking.
Hi all. Well I have been very busy over the last few days. I have made several pairs of earrings. I had a go at making my own ear wires. I used 20g silver plated wire to do mine and so of course I had to make lots of things to hang off of them! lol.
The disks on this pair I made using shrink plastic. It is a material that I have not really used before, so I really enjoyed playing with this. It is coloured with an iridescent mica powder that I heat set during the shrinking process. I really like the way hat these have turned out. I added the dangle with an 'S' link that I also made. I think that these would look great worn in the summer, especially as big jewellery is going to be a big trend.
This pair above are also made from 20g SP wire. I made the headpins myself to match the wrapping on the top of the bead. I have been going a bit nuts for wire wrapping beads in this way, whenever I sit down to play at the moment I will inevitably end up with something wrapped! lol
I love this pair, these are by far my faves. I used some new goodies that I had ordered a while ago but where delayed because of all the snow we have had! Well I finally got them through my letterbox this morning and this is the result. I have used some more Opalite, this time in a Briolette cut and fresh water potato pearls, also new :) I think that I am going to have to practise wrapping briolettes, I gave up and used a bead cap instead but I think that they look pretty cool.
I'm not sure where the inspiration for this pair came from. I don't often work with red, Its not a colour I tend to wear much of, But I think that its starting to grow on me.
So hope you like them, because I love them! Kaylie x
