Garnet and Gold Crystal Jewellery Set

Hi all

It’s my Mother’s birthday today and I have made her a co-ordinating jewellery set comprising of a bracelet, necklace and earrings.

Here’s the complete set.

I have used 8mm, 6mm and 4mm Garnet Crystal Rounds along with AB gold and garnet size 11 seed beads.

The patterns I have used but altered slightly were from Linda’s Beading Designs. These were:

Jasmine Bracelet

and

Roman Necklace

Here’s a close up of the necklace pendant

The Bracelet I am really happy with. Here it is

The detail on this bracelet looks very classy. It looks very expensive in the flesh.

Here it is a little closer

And the earrings

The supplies for these items have come from my favourite shop Rosarama Beadcraft.

I have used fireline 8lb in crystal as my stringing material. I love fireline as it is a strong thread however it’s not too thick for when having to weave through the beads multiple times.

Well that’s it for now.

As usual thanks for popping by.

Hugs

Vintage Floral Butterfly Tree Canvas

Hi all This is a Canvas I have created. I've been working on it over a few weeks now. I initially decorated the base of the canvas with various papers, inks, paints, texture paste and script stamps; and painted the tree but was then stuck on what to add to it. I left it for a while whilst I came up with what I wanted to do. Then I decided I wanted some bigger flowers, and found some Prima flowers and added some additional mixed media elements and smaller flowers I already had in my stash. Along with glitters and diamante embellishments. I also die cut a fancy flourish for the corner (not that you can see much of it, oops) and a quote. I did two layers for the die cuts and glued them together so that they were thicker. Well here's a picture of it I'm quite pleased with how it has turned out. This is a video which shows some of the elements in more detail. You can even see the glitter sparkling. (Sorry it's a bit shaky I used my phone. It'...
