dig the earth

I have a shop on coriandr and a group of us are doing a promotional train where each 3 days we promote different sellers. For the next 3 days it is the turn of dig the earth. The man behind it is Kevin and he makes these beautiful mirrors.
He also makes great cards from 100% recycled card and they come in 100% recycled envelopes.

I love the colours in this one.

So please check out his shop on coriandr.

new beads - again!

I bought 4 new sets of lampwork beads last week, i have made this necklace and pair of earrings with one set and can't wait to use the others.
The necklace is blue suede with tibetan silver toggle and spacers.

The earrings are sterling silver with blue swarovski crystals.

I have been away for the weekend in my caravan in wales, It was a nice break as we haven't been for 3 weeks because the weather hasn't been to good. We went to look at houses for

sale whilst we were there but i think we have decided to look a bit closer to home.

great shop

There are so many talented artists out there and every now and again i come across a shop and think wow. Well this has been the case again and i thought i would blog about it.

horses

I've been working on this bracelet for the last 2 days and i've finally finished it this morning. It is a horse charm bracelet which features 2 horse charms and a horse shoe charm which has tiny gems on it. I strung it with red, pink and white glass beads, i wasn't sure how it would turn out and half way through i wanted to change the colour but it was too late so i stuck with it and i think it has turned out ok.
