Mulled Wine hand made Charm bracelet style watch

I was commissioned to make this watch, the customer wanted something warm and almost plum like. Its made with sterling silver chain and Silver charms and lots and lots of crystals and beads. I finished it off with a black stain bow. I love this bracelet so much and it reminds me that I must make one for myself some time!

As soon as I made it I knew what it had to be named... Mulled Wine of course!

Mulled Wine hand made Charm bracelet style watch- Commissioned

By the way I had a great time at the Skunk Anansie gig on Tuesday. Mark has blogged about it if you're interested. Just click here.

Don't you just love....

.... hearing that somebody genuinely loves your work, so much so that they are close to tears when they receive it as a gift! I made this necklace for a friend at work who gave me the floral heart bead and asked me to do something with it here's what I managed to come up with.

Her Mother was over the moon when she received it and phoned all of her friends to tell them. It makes me really happy to hear things like that, to know that my design is really appreciated. I walked around with a big smile on my face yesterday :o)

Busy Busy!

As you all know I've been quite busy with commission's, Christmas gifts and general everyday living lately! Here are two necklaces I was given to create matching pairs of earrings for... it took a lot of looking at different beads and praying that they were the same but here's the outcome....

Tonight mark and me are off to Hull to see Kings of Leon perform, as a late birthday treat for me! Should be good!

Glass Beaded Bracelet- Commisions Galore!!!

Well with Christmas coming up I'm having plenty of commissions thrown at me, which is great! Some people just can't find what they're looking for and I love trying to help, although I always get a bit nervous as to whether I have created something they really like!




Here is my latest project, a purple and black beaded bracelet to match a necklace that my customer was desperate to have a 'set' for. This time I've used black cord as my base and wrapped around lots of beads! I like the finished result and think I shall be adapting this style in the future!

Yesterday I went into town for the first time since I left my job at Burtons and it felt really strange going back, but I was secretly very pleased not to have to be at work but able to shop instead! I picked up a beautiful new scarf and coat and did a spot of lunch! Oh I love having weekends off!
