What happens to my beads?

This is something I've always wondered and today I received an email from a lady twho bought some beads off me a while ago to make her friend a necklace. Her friend was delighted with the result and when you see what Val turned the beads into, I'm not surprised.





I would love to see what others have made so if you've bought my beads in the past and have photo's of your creations then pop them on an email to me and let me know if you're happy for me to blog about them. Although I can't promise to blog about everyone I will pick a couple out of the hat to show you all ;-)

Another "match this top please" commission.

I've been itching to show this set of beads that were made into a necklace for my most recent commission as I really love the colour combination.

The lady in question asked me to make some beads using the colours in her top. I get asked to do this a lot and as long as I'm pretty much able to do my own thing pattern wise I enjoy the challenge. It gets me using colour palettes that perhaps I would normally overlook although sometimes the chosen colours will react badly with each other and blur or split. Sometimes the reactions can be used to my advantage and others I add a nice layer of clear glass to keep them apart.

Below are some more "match this top please" beads and jewellery I have done. If you have a favourite top or dress and would like a unique set of beads or jewellery to match the drop me a line.

Etsy Update

Good afternoon :-D

I have put just a couple of sets of beads up for sale in my etsy shop so if you're interested pop by there.

The summer seems to have flown by in a complete whirlwind of kids, camping, visitors, more kids, more camping, more visitors and I even managed several teaching sessions amongst it all. I will be glad to get back to normal though and am now looking forward to my 40th birthday celebrations in October.
