Running a lil late!

Hey all! 

Sorry I didn't post yesterday! I have so much to show you all. I've been crafting my backside off. 

I started my day with a little jewellery. I haven't really done any since leaving London Jewellery School, so I thought it was time to try something new again. I decided to try knotting. I got a bohemian jewellery book for Christmas so picked a tutorial from there. This is what I made, it took me all morning to understand those fiddly knots! 

Used moonstone (labeled opalite, but shines more like moonstone), hematite (good for aches and pains) and Onyx (because it always looks good!). 

Of corse I then made cards! As I'm clearing out my magazines, the layouts were from there, however I decided to use these as a chance to use my bigshot!

It's going to take a while to get used adding these beautiful elements, but I have to say I think they make my cards so much better! 

Just one little thing before I go! Check this out!

Today I recieved my Papercraft Inspirations magazine from my local. This is a special issue for me as I'm in it! I emailed them with my gesso card a while ago and I've recieved their favourite card in the mail page! I'm very very pleased! 

Thank you for reading today.

Just another day at the office

Hey all! 

Well now that my clear out of my magazines has started, I've decided to devote this post to the amount I've made recently (bare in mind this was in one day!). 

This little cutie was such a doddle to make! Created in about 30mins Percy the penguin (cute but tired however) is now sat on my desk waiting for my best friend to take him home. I love creating with felt and I think the quick but professional outcome is awesome.

Now you all know how much I love my jewellery! When I found a tutorial to make a version of this necklace, I knew I had to make it my own. Created with beads and ribbon from my crafty creative boxes, add a few extras and this beauty was born! A great present for my boyfriends sister.

Of corse I had to include a few cards! This lovely card (of the slim variety which I used to use a lot) was created using my new heat gun. I love using gold embossing powder! It brings out the key designs so well. Unfortuantly this card has sold already, however the design could be replicated.

This card was only made tonight so I'm kind of cheating with this one! But here is one of my few valentines cards. This design was drawn up whilst at my boyfriends house the other day and I've been itching to make it ever since. The colours work so well together and these heart doilys just jump out to be used for valentines! 

Thank you so much for reading.

Evening all

Good evening everyone! 

I hope your all having a lovely weekend, I've had a fantastic one. Yesterday unfortunately I was working but got to finish early :D My weekend of relaxation then started. I've watched movies, eaten chocolate, seen my boyfriend and made things! My clear out session is still in progress too.

Today my sister, boyfriend and I all pitched in to make a gingerbread house. My sister is in competition with her friends to make the best so here is our entry! I must admit I ate a lot of icing today. Do you like it? 

(Yes that's my boyfriend hiding behind the house!)

I also decided that seen as this Christmas I don't have a new dress to wear on the big day, I needed to make myself a piece of jewellery. I made a batch of resin pendants when I tried resin a few months back and decided to use this flowery pendant for Christmas. Add a few charms and some suede cord and you have a cute little necklace.

I hope your weekend ends great!

LJS final show: Part 1.

Welcome all! Needless to say I am a very happy bunny today! Today you are looking a now passed student of London Jewellery school (http://www.londonjewelleryschool.co.uk)! I can now make creative jewellery. I thought I'd show you the pieces and collections shown last night including my own.

Here is my beautiful collection. I called it "The beauty of Bohemia". It was created by looking at the bohemian culture who are heavily influenced by feathers. Here are a few close ups! 

I loved my silver piece and so did everyone else! Thank you to everyone who loved my pieces, it really made me proud of myself.

These beautiful pieces are made by the lovely George (@Ogie12 on Instagram). His pieces are amazing and I couldn't stop congratulating him! Well done George! 

These are the lovely Kyoko's pieces. These beauties are made from Perspex plastic. It's such a clever collection and she should be so proud. 

This silver piece was made with clay believe it or not! The lovely Elaine Stevenson (contact her on elaine.stevenson1@gmail.com). This beautiful design caught my eye as soon as I saw it. I love it and would love one for myself.

These were the beautiful creations and I hope you all loved looking at them. There will be another post as soon as I get the photos.
