Remember this necklace?
Well, I had all of the seed beads still on my table, and I thought it would be nice to make a bracelet to match it. The two strands sit nicely on the wrist, making it comfortable to wear.

I think purple and brown is a delicious colour combination. I have used purple frit to decorate some beads made from a wine bottle, and added some Coopers Ale beads in for good company.
I had some beads leftover from the Pink Depression Glass test beads that I made, so I decided to mix them with some of the silver and gold pixie dust wine bottle beads! Well, I have to say, they mix really well together, the end result is a very pretty, delicate and feminine bracelet.
I have tried some different types of glass this week. Friday. Saturday.
And some different types of jewellery! Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday.
Today I have made the beads from a Tanqueray Gin bottle (super amazing bright green), and made a necklace with these beads that is really quite different from anything I have made before.
It is funny where all of this creativity is taking me.
I have tried to capture the colours of the beautiful countryside that I am surrounded by in this necklace that I made this morning. I have made the beads from a Stone’s Green Ginger Wine bottle (from Renmark)!
Happy Australia Day!
A little while ago I made a necklace that featured Coopers Ale beads with gold leaf on them.
Someone left a very kind comment saying they would like a pair of earrings like that, so it got me to thinking: how could I make earrings like that?
Here is the end result! I tried this pair on to see how they would feel, and I was thrilled to feel absolutely amazing with them on! They are bigger than other earrings I have made, quite a statement, still light, very sparkly and super feminine.
I have to say that I am loving this year of creativity. I am finding that I am constantly jotting down ideas for all sorts of things: beads to make, glass to try, and all sorts of pieces of jewellery to contemplate. I hope it continues for the rest of the year, but so far….so good!
I have always had a bit of a soft spot for this colour! Skyy Vodka bottles make the most stunning cobalt blue beads. The addition of the silvery finishes makes this bracelet very sparkly indeed.
I loved making this special pendant for a special customer. Skyy Vodka for the base, decorated with all kinds of silvery finishes.
Oh, I do love the sparkle in this bracelet. The beads were made from a wine bottle, and embellished to make them extra sparkly!
I love using clear wine bottles to make beads and jewellery. There are so many things that I can do with them: make them sparkle with silver foil, make them sparkle with silver wire, make them sparkle with silver pixie dust!
