Stamping Stone Jewels and animals

This necklace is a keeper- I stamped on Lasertran, applied to stone and coated to preserve image. It seemed everywhere I worked and created, I had one of my pets to help. How could you not feel great with this type of company!!!!!

Jewels,and statues

Have just returned from a quick trip to Brisbane- this was suspended above the Emundie markets....Wow, the markets were great. This is my latest creation using Sari Silk, semi-precious stones and lots of ARTISTIC WIRE. I am pleased with this one-

winner

So, Benny has chosen EV as the winner of the bracelet....names were put on a piece of his favourite snack- and whamo- Ev's was eaten first- so will catch you so you can choose which one you like

wire mesh and Give away

Just learnt to use this wire mesh- with a fantastic teacher- Thanks Tina-the beads are Italian glass- they look fantastic in the light-I am really thrilled with this one. I have decided to give away one of my French Knitting Bracelets ( see previous post)to someone who leaves a comment on my blog- I will choose on Sunday 19th. so comment away!!!

benny and TD

This is our beautiful 12 year old TD (tie dyed, you can just see it on her tail) and of course, Ben, who has decided that he would let her lie there for at least ten seconds!

Free form Bracelets,dog

These are my latest creations- I am so happy with the green "garden" It was just what I wanted- I love putting the colours together and now feel quite confident in making these beauties.The amber bracelet has crystals and amber throughout- much more vibrant in real life. Benny decided that our bed was so much more inviting than the anything else on offer- I had just walked out to get a cuppa, and I presume he thought I would not notice him there...funny how they dominate your life!!!

snuggly cat, clever dog, new bracelet

Yes, it is cold outside and I do like being in my basket at the end of the sewing table-and Benny is clever to...keeping us amused with his "Two Toy Trick" and this is the latest creation of my Mum's but I do think I have the best deal...Ho Hum!!!!

Wonder knitting, felted wrist thing

I have had fun with these French knitting bracelets-a great way to use up all those great beads, and at last- my first felted wrist "thing" how I enjoyed making and wearing this one.
The rat has gone on to the big cheese in the sky!!!!

A hat, and a rat.

This is the start of a beret- the colour is much richer earthy tones for winter- when it arrives. I have hand dyed wool. then have embellished it onto hat, and will add final beads when I have found the rat that has taken up residence in my studio. I have NEVER had a rat in my house, let alone in my studio, and it is because I have tidied, colour matched cottons, got rid of all the excess materials that I did not need- (until next week anyway!) There was never room for a rat, now I have created space, it has moved in.... so the moral of the story is NEVER organise your studio-you just dont know what is waiting to fill the space!

faux jewels real pearls

Tried this new faux glass- I like the pearls bit which is real- but as for paper underneath glaze....the jury is still out.
