Jewel Enamel

I Have finally got a quiet weekend planned, so i thought i would get out my Jewel Enamel kit, my what i hear you cry, well i will enlighten you, or at least try.

A while a go I was watching Jewellery Maker TV and there was this jewel enamel kit for sale, after seeing it demoed i had to have one in my life, it arrived and i have to say i have had a few plays and i really like it, it works by heating powder until it melts, mixing various colours then pouring into moulds or bezels, which i have to say is my preferred way of working with this medium, you can also add other things to the liquid such as glitter, gem art, mica powders it really does go on and on, these are just a few of the things that i have come up with so far.

Thanks for looking  will show you more designs as i make them

Fab designers out there

It has been a long summer, the kids have finally gone back to school, the twins have started full time, I have stopped doing my happy jig, and am getting down to making some jewellery, but I have to say the brain cells have all turned to mush, so it all started with the weekend when i met a lovely bunch of ladies from West Country Jewellery Makers and the wonderful Mark Smith from the TV channel Jewellery Maker there were demos one of which was by the lovely Laura Binding http://youniqueyou.com/ who is a wizz with wire which those who follow me know i love wire, so she showed some new ideas and these are my makes from her ideas.

Then I bought a pattern from a designer Emily Gray, http://www.etsy.com/shop/emilygrayjewels I love her designs and thought i would have a go at making my own following her pattern, and this is what i came up with, need a lot more practise, i used all swarovski pearls and crystals but i was pleased with what i came up with.

There are some very talented people out there and i enjoy looking at their work and being taught by them, and i hope you enjoy seeing it too thanks for looking.

Holiday projects

Having spent a week in a wet and windy caravan, I managed to practice my weaving technique and made a bracelet.

and i also had another go at a rivoli ring but decided i really rather liked it as a pendant so made it as one and put it on a silver chain.

Thanks for looking

Cancer Awareness bracelets

At last after weeks of waiting and planning our cancer awareness bracelets are ready, each colour raises awareness for different cancers we all know breast cancer is pink but did you know prostate cancer was Blue and kidney was green. We hope our bracelets will not only create awareness but also raise money for cancer charities as £5 of the £8 from each bracelet will go to charity, do grab yours quick. So far I have pink, blue and black all with the cancer ribbon saying hope.

Wire wrapping

I have found a new passion and it's all about wire. I have been having a go at but as of yet have not done anything nearly as well as I would like but practice practice practice is what I tell my kids so that's what I am doing so these are a few of the projects I have tried I like the cuff bracelet best.



if you have any good wire wrapping websites or books please let me know as I really want to learn how to do it like Abby Hook and huan pham their projects are amazing well thanks for looking till next time.
