Book of Love & Ring

Some bits I made for Christmas but didn't want to spoil the suprise so am only updating the blog with now.
Hope they are treasured!

Another Christmas Gift!

Hope they love it!

Family Circles

Two family circles stamped with the typewriter font!

They are basically finished, just want to find out if the crystal should be attached to the pendant to hang in the center of it (as pictured with pendant on the left) or if it should remain separate so it can be slid on and off the chain at will (as pictured on the right).

Let me know what you think?

Family Circle

A friend with the most beautiful family ordered a pendant from me recently.
She requested the pendant not be shaped but rather remain flat.

The beads are high quality glass pressed Czech beads, hung on handcrafted sterling silver head pins.

Name Disc

Finished this handmade pendant today, it's a 25mm sterling silver disc with 2 swarovski crystals, all the findings are sterling silver, including the clasp on the cord it's hung from.
The disc is slightly cupped.

I hope the recipient likes her gift!

I made my own!!!

So today I finally sat down and did a wee bit of work and I'm very happy to say I am no longer at the whim and mercy of suppliers but can now make my very own pendants...WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

The pendants are all 100% made by me, including the findings.
Everything is sterling silver, with the exception of the stringing wire which is nylon coated stainless steel...but the clasps etc on the cord will all be sterling silver.

Now just to give the "web dev" a poke in the ribs and hopefully we'll have the website up and running properly in the next few millennia :P

And I have to sit down and do the boring stuff like the costings...but while I'm busy with that you can take a peek at what I'm up to!

The disc cutter!
And some of the discs (& a wee moon) ready for stamping
Sterling silver jumprings
And what my initial charms turned out like.
The discs are 12.5mm and are slighly cupped

Just a little something

I've been busy catching up with the kids and getting involved in all the Christmas & New Years festivities so I haven't really had as much time as I though to experiment with my goodies over the holidays.

I did however get that chance to make a little something for a friend who's an old work colleague...from back in the days of yore when I was still a working lass :)

I stamped, filed, shaped and polished the washer myself...so got a little chance to test out some tools :)
