Day 278. I was delighted to find this blue gin bottle at my local bottle shop, and after enjoying the contents over several fun occasions, it was finally time to test the glass! So happy to discover it’s a really beautiful blue that handles the flame with no problems at all. A nice addition to the range of gin and tonic colours that I can use. Looking forward to making some more beads soon.
Day 277. Weird but true, green earrings seem to be the most popular earrings at the moment. Followed closely by blue. Must be the season for these cooler colours.
Day 276. Thanks for all the gin and tonic jewellery love, lots of orders coming through for various pieces. I love that people are getting organised for Christmas now, it makes my job a little easier. Looks like packages are taking about 4 weeks to get to the USA, stoked that they are still getting there, but if you need things shipped…now is a good time.
Day 275. Flowers on flowers. Can’t get enough of the flower beads at the moment. Hope the sun is shining wherever you are.
Day 274. There are always ideas hiding behind ideas, sometimes they are just tricky to find. This is what I made with some leftover beads today.
Day 273. And it’s done! My September newsletter has been sent. Featuring 14 pairs of flower earrings with a mix of single and double flower beads. Here’s the link!
Day 272. I like having lots of beads made and ready for a project, and then seeing what happens. This wasn’t even one of my original ideas, but I like the small glass bead with the flower beads. I am still not entirely sure what will be featuring in the newsletter tomorrow, but we will all know by tomorrow!
Day 271. I am getting some limited release earrings ready for my September newsletter, which is why I have been testing out a range of flower bead earrings. I wasn’t planning to make earrings with two beads, but when I made these today…I really liked them! Stay tuned. I am planning to send my newsletter on Tuesday, with 12 pairs of earrings, all limited release and discounted for newsletter subscribers.
Day 270. Added some Swarovski crystals to this pair of flower earrings. Liking the extra sparkle.
Day 269. Tricky to photograph, but fun to wear. Flower earrings with three different coloured flowers. I have been thinking about the “old” flower earrings that I made many years ago, and thought it might be fun to revamp them a little.
