Well, it's been a while since my last post (been so busy at work) but thought I would share this necklace with you. I used a vintage brooch I bought in a charity shop; faceted beads, crackle glass beads, grey beads, 0.6mm silver plated wire and a recycled necklace. I embellished the brooch with small recycled rhinestones and wire wrapped the dangling beads. Very pleased with the results.

Golden Oldies

This set is another one I made long ago but forgot to post as well - luckily I backed up my pictures! yay!
I used gold beading wire, glass and metallic-finish beads, and gun metal chain for the necklace. First I threaded the beads onto the beading wire and then crocheted. Next I  attached it to the chain to create more volume and dimension. I finished it off with a toggle clasp.
I made the ring using 0.8mm wire, the same beads and a round object instead of a mandrel (like glue stick) to create the shape.

Este set de bisuteria es otro que hice hace tiempo pero que me olvide de subir aqui - felizmente que guardé las fotos en un CD - yupui!
Para el collar usé cola de tigre/ alambre fino para collares dorado recubierto por plastico, cuentas de vidrio y metálicas, y cadena negra. Primero ensarté la cuentas en el alambre y luego hice cadena con crochet. El siguiente paso fue adherirlas a la cadena para darle mas volumen y dimensión. Lo terminé con un broche.
Hice el anillo con alambre de 0.8mm, las mismas cuentas y un objeto circular/redondo en vez de un medidor de anillos (como una goma en barra) para crear la forma.
Gracias por visitarme y que tengan un fin de semana genial!

Waterfall

I made these earrings using glass faceted beads, silver plated head pins, jump rings and earring hooks. Using jewellery pliers; I wire wrapped each dangling bead to make them more secure, add more texture and a feature to each beaded head pin. This is one of my favourite colour combination.

Hice estos aretes con cuentas de vidrio con facetas, agujas plateadas, anillas y ganchos para aretes. Usando la tenazas/alicates para bisutería ; enrollé el alambre en cada aguja con cuenta para hacerlos más seguros, darles mas textura y darles una caracteristica particular a cada cuenta colgante. Esta es una de mis favoritas combinaciónes de colores.
Gracias por visitarme y que tengan un día genial!

Simply Fiori

I made the wire flower pendant using 0.8mm silver plated wire, round-nosed pliers, chain-nosed pliers, cutters, glass and metal beads. For the beaded rope I used a selection of seed beads in 3 different colours and finished off with a lobster clasp and chain extension to make it adjustable.
