I am so pleased with this beautiful necklace!
The beads themselves being large (20mm each) means that the necklace is a little heavy but its such a statement piece that the weight reminds you how pretty your neck looks!
This one is just for me and I can’t wait to wear it!

So I bought myself a small wire Jig the other day when I bought my beads.
As I’ve never used one before I was feeling pretty excited about having a go.
Here are my first attempts!
I’m thinking that it’s going to take a lot of work to really get good at doing it but practice makes perfect!!

Suddenly its raining again. The sunshine has gone in and I’m reminded of a really Kitsch piece of jewellery that I made a while ago.
Drip drip drop
It’s just the vintage style accessory to make the day seem more cheery!

I have just started making the cutest hair clips!
Little slices of fimo (miniature tomatoes or butterflies for example) on a black hair clip. Super cute, super kitsch and super on trend!
Say yes! to the hair clip and no! to non adorned hair!

Isn’t it lovely when the sun is shining and the birds are singing all day (and all night where I live!).
Butterflies will be fluttering past…………..
Why not treat yourself to a butterfly to remind you of the summer even on the dullest of days.

I’ve got some new bits and pieces in which I’m quite pleased with.
I particularly like my clear dome cabs which I can put an image/text under (I’ve created a time for tea one to see what it would look like!).
I think I’m going to be experimenting today photoshop to see what I can come up with to pop under those cabs.
hhhhmmmmm, where’s a cartoon light bulb when you need one!

So, I’ve not been great at updating my blog posts 
but I’m going to start doing them more often.
I’ve updated my products now, added new stock and popped popular products back in stock which I’m really pleased about.
I’ve also now sorted out my info page so everything is laid out and clear. If anyone does have any questions then please feel free to contact me.

So after more research and a change of design and colour plan I began making the tiara.
Step 1: measure out a piece of silver wire – I measured out 100cm but I would recommend for this design now about 150cm of wire
Step 2: Place beads in a nice order on a bead tray to make sure the colour combination looks good and to get an idea of the layout.
Step 3: Fold over one end of the wire and thread the beads onto it (the folded end stops the beads from falling off)
Step 4: Start in the middle of the tiara band and wrap the wire round tightly to one end and repeat with the other side.
Step 5: Using flat nose pliers make sure the folded end is tight and then you are done!
The finished article:
I’ve got to say that I did find making it really difficult. Starting from the centre was exceptionally hard so could suggest if you have an even design starting from one end and working across.
