And, I got 2nd prize for this necklace in the Mount Gambier Show – A piece of Jewellery in Beading section!
I really enjoyed taking part in the local show, and even though I did not win 1st prize, it was just great to be part of it all. To make some new necklaces. And it was exciting taking the kids to the show and seeing if mummy had won anything.
I entered 3 necklaces into the Mount Gambier Show – A Piece of Jewellery in Beading category. This particular necklace took home 3rd Prize! I like how the colour of the certificate matches the colour of the necklace too.
Your custom made earrings can be made to look like these beads, where the inside of one flower is the petals on the other flower (and vice-versa). Or you can have both flowers the same (can you picture 2 of the beautiful coral flowers).
Then choose your favourite flower for the pendant.
So pretty for spring.
Check out the Shop section of my website for more details.
I had so much fun making these custom flower earrings this week, that I thought I would offer a special deal to everyone.
Simply head to my online shop, and order a custom made pair of earrings or a pendant (or both, if you like matching things)!
Let me know what colours you would like:
I’m looking forward to seeing what colour combinations you come up with!
As always, free shipping from my website.
Oh, and if you run into any problems during the checkout process, simply email me at jules.frahm@gmail.com and I’ll help you out.
I showed you the blue/green version of these beads yesterday. Today it’s the red/purple version. Oh, I love this colour combination!
They have been a lot of fun to make, and I’ll show you some of the jewellery before it gets posted to Pepper Street Art Gallery.
I used to make LOTS of this type of flower bead. In all sorts of colours. And then one day, I just stopped making them. My husband asked me why, and I didn’t really have an answer for him. I guess I just moved on to new and different beads.
But, I love making these beads, and I’m always delighted with how they turn out! So, when I needed to plan some “new” work for the Little Treasures exhibition at Pepper Street Gallery I immediately thought of these! It has been a long time since I have made any, and I can’t wait to make the jewellery for the exhibition.

I am really looking forward to these market days! I will have lots of very good bargains on the day.
After around 15 attempts, I finally finished the Poppy necklace!
I made 100 Poppy beads for the necklace, to commemorate 100 years since the start of World War 1. I really like how the necklace turned out.
It will be in display in the Riddoch Art Gallery (Main Corner, Mount Gambier), as part of the South East Art Society “Remembrance” exhibition. Opening 6.00pm Friday 31st October.
I am trying to make a necklace for the South East Art Society “Remembrance” exhibition. I can picture it in my head, and draw it on paper, but the actual piece is causing me a bit of trouble.
It is going to have 100 of my handmade glass poppy flower beads on it, as a commemoration of 100 years since the start of World War 1.
I can’t tell you how many times I have pulled this necklace apart! I think I am on iteration number 10. It’s nearly right, but it has been tricky getting all 100 beads onto the necklace.
The exhibition at the Riddoch Art Gallery opens Friday October 31 at 6.00pm.
As a general rule, I don’t really like the colour yellow (I know)!
However, every time I make a necklace with yellow in it, it gets snapped up! So, I guess there are people out there who DO like yellow.
This necklace is actually really beautiful. I’m sure the right person will find it soon.
