A Fresh Delivey

I was in awe when I opened my package from Aunties Beads.

It was full of seas glass beads, I love them.
I got working straight away and created a lovely foamy necklace with matching bracelet. As Australia is coming in to Summer I thought this colour was so cool. To me it represents a beautiful blue sky with a calming sea. Although Aus is well known for it's excellent surfing.For the focal of the necklace and bracelet I used handmade lampwork beads and teamed them with
Sea Glass 8mm Round Bead Strand, Seafoam
Sea Glass Round Bead Strand, Opaque Sky Blue, 6mm
Sea Glass Round Bead Strand, Seafoam Green, 10mm
Wire wrapped each bead together and topped and tailed the Sea Glass 8mm Round Bead Strand, Seafoam with scalloped bead caps.You can check out my new Artfire or Etsy store for more creations.

Gift Idea #3

I so enjoy looking through Southernscraps goodies in her Etsy store. I have found another beautiful card which would go great with one of my items.

Doesn't this card look gorgeous with the ribbon and buckle on it which is actually made from a soda can tab. How original and a great way to recycle.

Below is my creation called "Memories of Grandma" bracelet. Made from lampwork beads, Swarovski crystals, Czech glass and Indian silver beads. Why "Memories of grandma"? I don't really know but as soon as this design was put together it reminded me of her. Maybe she had something similar or was she looking over me and admiring this one. I would love to know!

What a Set!

I absolutely adore this matching necklace and earrings.

They wouldn't have been possible without the gorgeous handmade lampwork beads by MyCabinCreations. Just click on the link and check out the array of lovely lampies.

Both contain royal blue lucite beads with the earrings having the added touch of filigree bead caps and silver tone bicone spacers. The chain for the necklace is put together with 100+ patterned silver plated jump rings.

And yes I have gone blue again!!!

I Just Adore Handmade Lampwork

Just take a look at these glorious pendants I put together using handmade lampwork beads, swarovski crystals, daisy spacers and cones. Attaching them to more than one chain has a great effect. The blue lampwork bead was purchased from http://rufsandroxy.etsy.com/ and the mauve/aqua lampwork from http://calumeydesigns.etsy.com/ . Don't you agree they are exceptional artists.
