Hi all. Well I've been absent again. I've had a hospital admission and then been resting up. I've been doing a bit of creating but just forgot to blog.  Firstly I've made a couple of cards this past week. Both wonderful Teddy Bo cards coloured with my spectrum noir pens and pencils (on the second one).  This card was for my parents 40th wedding anniversary.  Then this one was for my stash of cards.  I have also been busy with Jewel Enamel again.  Here are the pendants I have created.  And this is what I have done with them so far whilst sitting with my feet up.  A bit of wire wrapping on the first couple.  Added a simple chain to a few.  A filled bezel and chain on these ones.  I have created some beads with the coiling gizmo for this one. I just love the pattern created on the pendant on this one though.  I have created a chain with eye pins a...

Hi all Well the last couple of days my Mother and I have had time to create a handful of cards. I've decided to work through all the card kits I have and make cards with them before buying anymore. I have a lot of them!!! Here's my stash.  These are the everyday/birthday ones.  And my Christmas ones Rediculous aren't they. Well I'm going to work through a pack at a time until there all done. Well we have made a start on the Hunkydory All the Girls kit. Here's the cards.  They may be quite simple but I quite like them and sometimes the simpler cards are ok sellers as they are more reasonably priced.  Well I'm off to make some more. Hope you all have a great evening.  Hugs Rachel

I haven't been slacking this weekend though as I've still been creative.  I've been trying out some new techniques. The first on Saturday afternoon  was learning how to make jewel enamel pendants etc with some fellow jewellery makers. Here's the pictures.  Then in the evening I was so hooked on my new found technique I decided to have another play. I made these.  Then on Sunday Morning I decided I would play some more. I made some more pendants by filling bezels. These I have added resin to the top to give a lovely domed finish. I also added resin to one of the pendants I made on Saturday.  I also used some resin in some moulds to create various pieces.  These two hearts have been coloured with perfect pearls and die.  These two I have added in some guiding flakes. I did these ones in two stages.  I also made some earrings...
