First up this week was a commission for a ring and a pair of matching earrings. The remit was for 'matt dark blue beads, similar to the previous commission, but different'. The beads were made by US artist Serena Thomas - my first beady purchase from across the pond. Hopefully, this set will fit the bill!
After that, I had a bit of a play. When hubby found me a particularly nice red beach pebble whilst on holiday, he insisted whatever I made with it had to be named after him. So, meet Dave the pendant. I think he's regretting it now, but 'Dave' it is - and I quite enjoyed giving some of my work a completely inappropriate name for a change, instead of having to try and think up something more fitting, so watch this space for possible news of a new pendant range - I'm thinking of 'Bob' for the next one...
After that, I decided to incorporate some of my handmade beads into a necklace and earrings - beaded beads made using an excellent tutorial by the lovely Liz Reed, and sparkling polymer clay beads.
(And that's enough links for me, thank you very much - I'm all linked out!)
