Wire wrapped button ring

You oreally need to see these rings to appreciate how lovely they are! The shell buttons can be found in loads of different colours and sizes to suit everyone. They were well received at Christmas, especially when I used sterling silver wire! I love the rings made with the swarovski buttons but, I have to say, I think these actually look m uch niceer and has much more character!

Swarovski crystal and pearl headband

These butterflies look beautiful and sparkly and I love making them. They are more suited to younder bridesmaids and can be made in pretty much any colour!

Crocheted necklace

This was my first attempt at crocheting with wire! I used swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls. The end result was beautiful! I was so proud of myself!

Wire wrapped rings

I have recently taken to wire wrapping. Only on a very basic level! I find it really theraputic and the designs can look really professional and intricate! It is very satisfying sitting back and looking at the finished products, I have also had quite a few compliments about the wire wrapped rings I have made using buttons! They  make a great present!

hair combs

It really has surprised me how quick some designs are. The tiara took less than an hour to make (not bad for a first attempt)! These haircombs took next to no time too!

Weddings!

I am really not very good at keeping up with this blogging lark! I spend more time making jewellery and don't havetime to write!

My friend is getting married in August which has inspired me to make tiara and hairpins. I am also making a wedding cake topper. Seeing as the topper is for Laura's cake, I won't be posting pictures until after the big day!

For now, here is a picture of the tiara. I have only been practicing really!

Well after all the good intentions of adding to my blog regularly, I completely forgot I had one! I still intend to add step by step guides and also some more pictures of the jewellery I have been making. I have just been asked to do some jewellery for a friend who is starting a therapies business so I will get the chance to work with gem stones and semi precious stones! Yey! The best thing is, she will be buying all the materials!!!!! I will make a point of taking lots of pics and post them as I go!

I have sold quite a few pieces on ebay and I have been making loads for presents. Christmas was fab as I made a lot of bits with sterling silver to make them extra special!
