Alice in wonderland charm bracelet - various vintage Alice charms

Alice..... what's the matter?


Another Alice in Wonderland charm bracelet creation! Should be on Etsy tomorrow (wednesday) with any luck!

This lovely bracelet was made from some beautiful Alice themed cameo charms featuring vintage looking illustrations of Alice, The White Rabbit and other iconic Alice in Wonderland items featured throughout the story. I absolutely love the attention to detail within the individual charms (especially the tea pot) and the way that even the little bottle has a message inside saying "drink me", how cute is that? I have also thrown in some handmade polymer clay roses that really finish the bracelet off. The whole bracelet has been strung on a lovely thick plated gold chain. The more i describe this charm bracelet, the more I want to keep it for my self :0)

Ooooooooooooooh Snow!

Yes it's even been snowing here in the City Centre! I did get a snap from my balcony but my phone isn't letting me upload it :o( I hope it goes soon I really hate slipping all the way to work!

Here is a creation made from some wonderful beads by Laura Sparling, Mark had bought me them as a gift and I decided to create something using lots of Amethyst and silver. I love them! And wore them when I went to a party on Saturday night.

Poorly Sick

I've been a bit poorly the last couple of days so have been wrapped up on the sofa bending wire. I decided to buy lots of copper and brass so that if I make a mistake it really doesn't matter. This is yesterdays several hour long project, and boy do my fingers know about it! These earrings feature Amethyst and Iolite, there is some thing quite beautiful about gold and purple together I think!

Alice Mad!

Wow! So sorry for the absent blogs! Since returning to Manchester after Christmas things have been quite hectic with work and socially and I haven't had much of a chance to update!

I am sat in my sick bed today with a bad throat and groggy head so thought i would catch up!

Just seen that there is going to be a film for Alice in Wonderland and the wonderfully talented and not to mention beautiful Johnny Depp will be playing the Mad Hatter. His role will be Fab I'm sure, I really can't wait.

I have had even more demand for Alice products and I'm hoping to get lots made as soon as I can. Here is my latest latest Alice commision...
