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.

003

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

018

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

Mixed media clock

Hi all I'm back today to share a clock I've made.  I started it yesterday evening by adding the texture building stages using white crackle texture paste drying after. Then used various stencils and embossing paste. I dried this and then added a coat of black gesso and left it to dry over night.  This morning I added some colour onto it using Pebeo Dyna paints. I added die cut numbers cut out of silver mirror card. However I wasn't happy with it as it was too dark for what I wanted it for and thought the silver numbers didn't go with it. So I sat back and looked at it and decided I wanted it lighter.  Well no loss as out came my heavy white gesso and I gave it a good coating. Before adding the white gesso I sanded the numbers slightly so that the paint could adhere better and this also gave extra texture. I dried this off and added the Dyna paints again and some Art Alchemy Opal Magic in Rose Gold.  Well I felt much happier with how it was loo...
