So the orders are ready!

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...

Getting ready to sell!

Well I have made two more charm bracelets ready for when I start to sell all of this stuff! This one as you can see I have made in tones of Blue. The big beads are Indian Glass beads, and there are also Swarovski AB clear 4mm Bicone beads, Opalite chips and some dangles made with white bugle beads and blue seed beads.

After seeing how well The Opalite chips went with the Purple's of the previous charm bracelet I wasn't sure how they would work with other colours. But I have to say they look gorgeous with blue! They seem to morph into the colour that you use them with. With this blue they look fresh and calm.

With the red charm bracelet they look fiery and dare I say it a bit sexy! lol. I am going to have to get a lot more of them, so I can make one for every colour of the rainbow!

All the jump rings were made by myself after watching a webisode by Plum and Verdigris. If you haven't already then you should watch all of their webisodes because they are packed full of ideas and techniques that you will find very helpful. So as Tamara Berg says I am going to get out there and make something beautiful!!

So... Lets start at the beginning.

Hi, my name Is Kaylie and I'm a Jewellery addict!
There I've said it! That wasn't so hard... lol.

Welcome to my blog!!!

Jewellery is something that I have always been in love with. Silver jewellery in particular. I have made a few necklaces and bracelets in the past but have never seriously had a go until a few months ago. I decided to set my self the task of making a few of the Xmas presents for some of my friends and family. That's when I remembered one of the webisodes that I had seen on Plum & Verdigris, (which sadly is no longer running :( ) called the Trixie Two step.
Well I watched this video and knew immediately what I was going to make!. I went and gathered my supplies and ended up making three, all with co-ordinating earrings and necklaces. Then I started to play around with different beads and bought some AB clear Swarovski crystals from ebay to make a special version for my mum. (Who is a complete magpie so I knew she would be happy with them!) Anyway here is the result....

I used Silver plated 18 gadge wire to make the jump rings and SP 26 gadge wire to wrap all the dangles on. The big purple beads are Indian glass beads and the chips are bits of Opalite, that I also baught on ebay, which is my mums favorite stone. Well there is no stopping me now!

After that my imagination just ran away with me, I was hooked! I was litteraly dreaming of jewellery! It has been pretty none stop since then. At the momment I am working on a series of bangles...... My best friend, * wave *, loves this and has put in an order for this, so I will making that in the next few days.
