Super Hero Me!
After popping over to Laura Sparling's blog the other day I just had to check out The Hero Factory. Here you can invent your own super hero based on yourself! Of course mine had to include the colours pink and purple and own a pair of wings! He he. Thanks Laura!

To sell or not to sell?

I am really liking the freshness of these Mojito earrings, crammed with amethyst and featuring two of Laura Sparling's lamp work beads! The problem is I really don't want to sell them.... Oh what to do?!

More Alice in Wonderland Charm Bracelets featuring an Alice locket
Yes, even more Alice in Wonderland themed bracelets, they are becoming so popular and I love creating them. The charms are so gorgeous that they make every individual piece a pleasure to work on. This particular design uses a gorgeous Alice silver tone locket, little charms saying "I love cake", silver toned tea pots, a silver queen of hearts crown, blue pot/clay flowers and even a little bottle with a note inside saying "drink me". All the well known references from the classic story are captured so beautifully in these charms. I just love making them.

UFO!
Yes... un-finished objects! A term brandished about by us jewellery designers as we start a project and then abandon it in search of something new. These Carnival earrings have been just that. I made one some time ago and then neglected it for a few weeks whilst I went on to pastures new. I looked at the lonely earring today and decided to make him a friend :o)

The Weekend!
.... well for me anyhow! I had to work today and working as a collector is not the best thing on a Saturday, for some reason people just don't want to talk to you about how much money they owe!
Mark and me are going to the cinema tonight to watch Slum Dog Millionaire. It's got a good write up so I'm quite excited.
Two days off now so hopefully some more jewellery making! I have a couple of projects to finish so I'll be getting on with them.
Here is my Ice Queen bracelet, just about to be listed on Etsy now. It features a beautiful lamp work bead by Jan Jennings, sterling silver, crystals and Opalite!
