Spring bracelet

 

Hi everybody,
hope you all had a great time over Easter!
I've had a lovely weekend, I could finally make time for everything..I had a couple of long walks with my boyfriend..I did some clear-out of my old stuff/supplies etc.. I started to renew (slooowlyy!)my website, as I really want it different..I cooked a bit...and I made some jewellery, of course!Yeay!
Let me introduce you my last colourful, girly, romantic bracelet!! I love it!
As I wrote last time I need colours and gentle shapes, probably to cheer me up from this endless winter..So I went all girly this last weekend..Beside this cutie, made out of ceramic and glass beads, I made a long necklace and a precious set (bracelet + earrings)..so stay tuned, as I'm going to pull out more pics very soon!!!

Ceramic spring..

I made this necklace yesterday, and I'm so happy with it!
I've rarely used ceramic beads, but these pods are to die for! It's different from my usual necklace,but this is exactly what I wanted to do..something different, not serious, girly, fresh..and plenty of colours!
Maybe it's this endless winter, maybe I'm just changing my taste, but I need to see colours and cheerfulness around, these days..This was my first try, but I'm planning to make more of this kind of necklace!!
Off to buy new beads, have a lovely Sunday (and a nice roast... ;))

Last necklace

 

My last clay necklace.. I just love it!!I made these beads a while ago but,as usual, I waited to make something with them..you know when you just cherish something, and you are awaiting the.."big occasion"?..well,something like this.
I know this is not the necklace of the year,but I'm happy with it. I love the colour and I just love the way these beads have turned out. The glossy,smooth finish..the swirls,that I love so much..and the lenght ( I love long necklaces!!).
Hope you like it too.The pics don't do it justice, it's much more beautiful when you have it in your hands.
Have a great time!

Fair!

Done!
Yesterday we attended the fair in SE London. It's been drizzling all day, so the weather didn't help get people around.The fair was held in a church and there were about 40 stalls in total, spreading over 2 venues.It's been very quiet,not many people coming along and those who did just had a walk among the stalls..no sales, as far as I could see.Not much, at least..
It's been fun,though!I met 2 fellow crafters from UK handmade and Etsy. The fantastic ladies behind "The Bothered owl"were there (well..only one of them,plus a nice and friendly boyfriend)with their super-cute stuff...and guess what? I made myself happy with a little.."self present"..I got one of their lovely bag,look!!
Isn'it cute??!! I just love,love,love my new bag!!And, in all honesty, I've been staring at their stall for a while, just felt like a kid in front of a stunning,rich sweets' display!Lovely things,really!Want to have a look at their shop?Here you go:http://www.etsy.com/shop/thebotheredowl

And there I also met Lisa, from Craft Outrageous, see her fan page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hats-Outrageous/264598436873 .She brought over loads of cute things, and...have a wild guess,again..: I got myself a little, lovely purple flower (shame I can't transfer the pic from my mobile..), that I'll be using in one of my next necklace,so..stay tuned!

Craft Fair in London Saturday 20 March

Here we go..this coming saturday we'll be attending a craft fair in SE London, Forrest Hill area..I don't know much about this fair, except that it's been running for a while,now.
It is called the Misty Moon Craft and Art Fair and it will be held at St Hilda's Hall and the Undercroft..I like the name!We'll be bringing some jewellery, few bits of my home decor, a coule of canvases and maybe some T-shirts too.
If you are in or around London this Saturday..pop-in!!!

Busy weekend...

It was a very,very busy weekend..Lots of going around, as my boyfriend's brother was here and lots of polymer clay..and a couple of necklaces,too..this is my Leaves necklace,made of sterling silver chain,antique silver plated leaf and a gorgeous swarovski leaf pendant.
I'm really tired,but I like when I see results, and I've got some in the last couple of days. Not much, but I'm happy with it,and with the fair approaching..all is good!
I love this necklace, it was in my mind for a while and I'm happy about the way it came out..any thought?
