Been a while!

Hi,
I know, it has been some time, but as we all know life also happens and a number of things like holidays and year end and family time and all kinds of other things have been keeping me occupied up to now. I wanted to share my latest creation...or rather most popular creation with you.

I made this bracelet for a girlfriend of someone I know and since then, have made a number of them on order as it seems to be very popular. I must admit, I love it as well : ) been wanting to make myself one as well, but have to place it on hold every time when I get another order for one.

This bracelet is made out of freshwater pearls and a couple of spacers with clear stones in, I have strung this on very thin elasticized clear cord...and trust me knotted it a couple of million times : )
It is classic and just pretty I think! Hope you like it.

Have a super weekend all
Lots of love

A little black number!

Hi All!

It  has been a while I know, probably because I have been so busy working on 5 bridesmaids jewels for a wedding in April of next year! Can't wait to show you what they look like once I have completed  all the necklaces and earings...but for now not even a sneak preview for you all. SORRY! ;-) but soon!

Here is one an item I worked on a while ago, I often wear black and wanted something simple that I can wear every day! So these are 3 seperate strings and I wear them all together or on their own! I made these earings over the weekend, and have already had 3 orders! Love them, so made myself a pair as well. I am wearing this today...yes with red!

Hope you like it, and will be showing you more really soon.

Take care and have a super rest of week

All time favorite

HI

Last one for today, right, here is the very first item I made when Janine and I had gone for classes at Beads n Things at West Coast village. I still just love this!

I love black and silver, and this items is made of all semi precious stones and some silver items and spacers. I just love this one, added a nice clasp in the back as well, a flower! Very nice.

I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoy wearing it.

Hope you all have a super weekend
Take care, till we chat again.

Red for the day!

Hi all!

Today is a stunning day in the mother city, Cape Town! So I thought that I would share my little red glass necklace with you. I made this one last week Thursday...well, more a case of having worked on it for 2 weeks!

I felt like making something red, which I never do by the way. I bought a red top a while ago and needed something to glam it up a bit. So found loads of red glas beads at Fantasia and some little see though glass beads and shiny rondelles. And made three seperate strings and then platted them together (like you would your hair ;-) I am very happy with it, and have worn it twice now.

Hope you like it. Got one more I am going to post today, and then it is weekend for a change.

Take care all, chat soon

I love this!


Good evening all

Don't know about you, but this has been a long day : ) Hope you are all keeping well?

Want to say thank you to all that have signed my guestbook, it is great hearing from you!

Now today I would like to show you one of the items I made during winter, this was a super rainy typical Cape Town day and I had to get up early to join Janine for a class we had gone to for a bit of inspiration on new ideas. Had really not felt like it  that particular morning, but once I got there and the creative juices started flowing the necklace you see here was my final result...morning well spent I had thought.

This necklace contains mostly semi precious stones as well as some nice spacers, mixed it up for a change. Then there is a chain only in the middle and the last string is a chain that has been linked out of pin sections filled with glass beads. It has a bit of weight to it as I am sure you can imagine, it being stones and glass mostly.

Hope you enjoy it.
Here is wishing every one of you a lovely eve.

Had this on today!

Hi All,

To those of you who have joined as followers, thank you and a warm welcome! Also to friends who have signed my guestbook many thanx! : )
I wanted to share my latest creation with you all, I started this one on the weekend and then finished it up last night after buying the ribbon at Merrypack yesterday.

This is a glass pendant with loads of glass beads all shapes and size with some glass pearls here and there. And then some really cool silver bits. Then just to round it off, I took some inspiration from Janine and added the orange ribbon in between to glam it up as well as make it stand out a bit more. Our companies corporate colors are orange and black, so looks good when wearing it to work : )

Let me know what you think.
Till we chat again,
D
