I would LOVE to have you!

My neighbours hate me, I’m sure. But, well, I’m not that fond of them either.

These will all find their way into new pieces, coming soon!

This, is not a work in progress. Just a new necklace that I made for myself, which is rare. This little pendant came from an assortment I purchased a while back from Kylie Parry. I’ve used the other pieces in the assortment for items to sell, but this little pendant I just couldn’t get rid of. I love it so.

It’s a simple little oval clay pendant, but I adore the color. I just stuck it on some chain and made a simple little hook clasp for it. It’s short and dainty and very subtle. And I love it!!

What are you all working on today?

I’ve mentioned before how I like jewellery you can play with. Well, these are very playful. They spin! I’ve been playing with mine all day, I should probably take it off and get some work done.

I’m thinking of doing a small, short video showing them in action, too. Think that might be helpful.

They are all just about listed in the shop!

Do you like?

They are now finished  and I am thrilled with how they turned out.

They’re a little glam, a little modern and a LOT of sparkle!

I finally decided to keep them long and I love how they turned out.

I added a simple, beautiful Burgundy faceted Mookaite bead to the bottoms and hung them from coordinating Copper ear wires.

I’m going to make some shorter, simpler versions of these and probably some more long versions in different colours, as well.

They are now listed in the shop! Do you like?
