mystic blue

Well today i have 2 poorly children at home with me. There not too poorly but my son was sent home yesterday with a headache and sore throat and is still abit off and my daughter has a nasty cough so i decided to keep them both off.

The living room already looks like a bombs gone off!

I made these beads last week and they were one set that came out of my last batch anneal. The colour is mystic blue and you can't tell from the photo but they have swirls of different shade of blue going through them and are quite pretty. I have listed them on my website :0) www.lej-jewellery.co.uk

witchy woo

I made this a few weeks ago, it is a crochet witch *cackle* I quite like it but forgot to stuff the hat before sewing it on doh!

Still nothing to report, i have been making beads this morning but out of an hour i have 1 bead which is half decent. Just can't seem to get into it lately :0(.

I might nip back up in a minute and have another go.

novelty lampwork beads

I've just got back from dropping the kids at school and thought i'd do a quick blog before i go and make some beads.
These are some which i have made over the last week, first is a chicken, I'm quite happy with how this one turned out :0)

Next is this ghost, i think it is better than the one i made last month and it isn't wonky lol.

Both are listed on my website www.lej-jewellery.co.uk , i have a mixture of sets and novelty beads now. I think i'm going to just concentrate on beads now as i'm finding it more and more difficult to sell my jewellery :0(. Saying that i'm not selling any beads either ha ha.

not been well

I know i haven't posted for a little bit but i haven't been very well, i'm not sure what was wrong with me i think i had some kind of viral infection. I've still got a bit of a cold but i'll be ok.

No news to report really, we still haven't sold our house and nothing exciting has happened.

Pictured are some lentil beads i made, they are cobolt blue with silvered ivory wrapped around.

lots of lampwork

I had a bit of brain freeze the other day while jewellery making, everything i made got took back apart so i decided to sort some lampwork beads out that i have had in a box for a while. I have strung them onto 18" silver plated chain and they are all £8. I haven't listed on my website yet but if you are interested then just just let me know :0).

First was a sea theme one, i really like it.

Next this pretty blue one

A yellow and green one

and one with a fish on. I love lampwork beads but as i make them now (long way of making them this good) i spend very little time jewellery making so probably won't use the ones i have bought.

ooo scary

I have made these lampwork beads, i get a bit board making sets and it usually takes me a few sessons before i have enough to make a set. I tend to make 2 beads them start something else, these are my something else. I enjoy making little characters much more than plain beads :0).
This is my little ghost.
And here is my little spider, i made 3 beads because i knew i couldn't fit 8 legs on 1 beads lol.

I hope you like them, i have added the spider to my website but the ghost is abit wonky so i'm keeping him for me :0p. I may just make another.

purple smurple

This is set of lampwork beads i made with one of my new presses, the colour is actually alot nicer than it appears in the picture. They are purple but the end have had a reaction to something and have a silver/gold shine to them.

They are available on my website www.lej-jewellery.co.uk where, don't forget, i'm offering 15% off everything with this code - promo15.
