Link Exchanging

I was approached by a company that specialises in link exchangs the other day. They promised to put my blog on 6 of their sites in exchange for me linking to them

They did it so not only am I dedicating a blog post to them but I will be putting their links to the right in my useful links spot.

Freeform Wire Work

I finished this order last week but my camera broke! I managed to get some pics using a friends camera whew!

Oh and whilst browsing Youtube I discovered there was a name for what I was calling Eclectic lol. Its called Freeform.




Freeform Bracelet: 75le or £7.50
Silver plated wire with Glass swirly beads in pink. Topped off with a 8mm Indian glass bead.
All components are completely handmade including the clasp. :-)



Close up of the wirework on the beads and the links. I also added a swirly charm.



Freeform Earrings: 40le or £4
Acrylic 4mm bicone beads in pink and white with silver plated wire and 4mm silver plated spacer bead.
This pattern is an adaptation from a tutorial found on Youtube by Turquoise String Beads. I came across this completely by accident as I was actually working on a version to add to the Freeform aka Eclectic Set.



Close up of the tassles on the earrings. I LOVE tassles!




Freeform Pendant: 30le or £3
Silver plated wire with 4mm pink and white beads and a 4mm silver plated spacer bead.

Beaded Hoops and Tigertail

I was asked to provide a more "budget friendly" set by a local shop this week. So here is an example of my efforts!



Tigertail Floating Set: £3.50 or 35le Necklace and Bracelet - Tigertail wire, 8, 6 and 4mm Acrylic Bicones, Silver Plated Spacer beads and nickel screw clasp.
Earrings - .5mm Silver Plated wire, 8, 6 and 4mm Acrylic Bicones, Silver Plated Spacer beads and silver plated ear wire.


A close up of the necklace....


I also made a set for my daughter as a "well done" pressie.



Beaded Hoop Earring: £1 or 10le
Silver plated hoop, 6mm Acrylic bicone, 6mm Iridescent glass cube bead and 4mm Acrylic bicone.



Matching Bracelet: £1 or 10le

26g silver plated wire, 6 and 4mm bicones and a nickel screw clasp.



Also a Daisy Chain Variation Ring from Aunties Beads tutorials.

A few things sent to England

Just a quick one to show what I sent to England a few weeks ago!

"Caged" Heart Pendant: Silver plated wire, 30mm lamp work pendant, size 8/0 and size 11/0 seed beads.

This item was asked for after one of my lariats were viewed on my photobucket account. I try not to make doubles of anything soooo. The colours were chosen by the customer, the heart in a cage concept was born and voila!



A closer look:




The lady also ordered another twist on butterflies on roses:

Aquamarine Czech crystal butterflies, sterling silver roses and silver plated wire. I also used a bali silver toggle clasp and added a touch of rombus chain maille to the sides of the clasp. :-)

It's been a while

HELLO!

I've been a bit unwell these past few weeks so not had the va va voom to post. But I'm back!

This week I have been working on a few orders and making up a consignment for a local store in Cairo.

I made these gorgeous earrings which cost a whopping £1.50! My only problem of course is Egypt post is very expensive (120le for the 1st half kilo) Sooooo it's not really worth paying around £16 for a dinky pair of silver plated earrings. BUT! I am working on another solution with another company which will cost around £6 for delivery for the first half kilo of goods.



Ok enough blathering lemme show you what I've been doing!

Oh yes! Thanks to Galleria Linda for the earring card tutorial! I made my own card to take pics of my earrings! (See Heart Chandelier Earrings above)



Heart Chandelier Earrings: £1.50 or 15le
Silver plated chandeliers with silverplated wire and acrylic bicones.




I made these once last summer. They were one of my first projects as I started my business. I've been asked to make another pair and might make a tutorial hence one completed earring and the parts for the next earring. :-)

Silver plated Chandelier Earrings: £5 or 50le
Silver plated 25mm hoops, silver plated 6mm balls, 8mm acrylic bicones, pearlescent 11/0 seed beeds, pearlescent 8/0 seed beads and silver plated fish hook.
