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...

Spiral wrapped bracelet

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! lol I 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.

My latest creations

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!

Another new necklace!

Hello!
Well I finally managed to get some pics of my latest creation done. I am really pleased with this one. The inspiration came from an American magazine that I bought from ebay. Its called Step by Step Wire Jewelry and its an amazing magazine. I am currently trying to source their back issues but not having any luck :( Oh well I will just have to keep at it.

This style is called a torque necklace and it is sort of like a bangle for the neck. I have wire wrapped the main body of the necklace in the same way that I did on the bangles from previous posts. I really like the way that it gives the wire a very silky sheen and sits smoothly next to the neck.

I used purple permanent colour copper craft wire in 22g for the spirals and I added some Swirovski AB clear 4mm Bicone beads for some extra sparkle, I love them and use them on everything! Also all of the silver wire used is Silver plated wire in 18g and 24g.

Having made this one there are a few things that I will do differently next time. I am still not happy with the shaping of it. As I don't have a necklace mandrel and no way of getting one at the moment I think I will have to come up with something else. Any ideas? leave a comment and let me know because I think this one will have me scratching my head for a while! lol
