Leather Wraparound Bracelets

something different from me - leather wraparound bracelets!

I've been talking about making leather wraparound bracelets for quite a while. I really like them and have been trawling the internet for the leather cord and thonging as well as the bracelet ends and clasps.

These five bracelets are the first to be listed in my GroovyCart shop

I really love the simplicity of these bracelets - and of course I am testing driving one myself!

I've got more leather on order and can't wait to make more for my other shops.

This is the link to the bracelets in my GroovyCart shop

Pepper Cat Jewellery

About 18 months ago we adopted a little rescue cat called Pepper. I don't think at the time we realised how much joy she would bring us. I blogged about her and posted some photos in April last year - if you'd like to take a peek look here.

Recently I spent an afternoon experimenting with our photo editing software using photos of Pepper. Some of the effects gave the photos a retro appearance so I made one of them into a pendant for myself. I've had so many comments and compliments when I've been wearing it that I decided to make a few more pieces for my GroovyCart shop.

This pendant is very similar to the first one I made for myself. It's strung on soft brown leather cord. For more information please click here

This second pendant comes on a 24" antique bronze colour chain. Again, for more information please click here

And a bracelet on pretty silver plated chain. The cat photo charm dangles from the last link of the bracelet. For more information please click here

While I was editing the photos and listing them in the shop my little helper was on the chair next to me sleeping on the job!

new resin jewellery

I found some black filigree cut out tape in the Pound Shop & wondered what it would look like cast in resin - well here's my first two experiments

if you'd like to see more photos or find out more about them please click here

One of my favourite things to do is cast little charms in resin - both of these have a blue and gold background

more information

I found some fabulous vintage style spoon pendants and have made some quirky little pendants by casting some slices of polymer clay apples in resin in the bowl of the spoon

this is one of them that's listed in my Groovycart shop - click here

Resin Rings made with Skateboard Shavings

I recently replied to a post on FaceBook for ideas how to recycle some shavings created by Natalie of O'Blue Thrashion who recycles old skateboards into jewellery and other items.
I'd previously cast some wood shavings from my dad's workshop in resin to make cufflinks so suggested this might be an idea. Natalie very kindly offered me a bag of shavings to "play" with - advising that they were multicoloured.
And here are some rings that I've made...

These rings have been listed in my GroovyCart shop - click here to see more.

I've got some pendants waiting to be finished - once they are ready I'll be photographing them & listing them in my GroovyCart shop.

Jewellery with Words

This is something new from me.

I've used words from old books - the words have been captured inside a small silver plated bezel cup with a clear glass cabochon which magnifies the words. No valuable old books have been used - just very ordinary books that have seen better days.

So far I've just made some word charm bracelets but am looking forward to extending the range next year.
