Yeah…I’m still here!

G’day to all! Sorry, I’ve been a bit slack on blog duty lately. Still a bit under the weather at times, also got several orders to get done and a last minute rush job with a necklace and earring set for my sister-in-law to match her dress that she was wearing to her work party. The beads I made (first off) came out of the kiln on Thursday morning and several were cracked – the combination of gold filled pink glass I used, along with silver wire and clear encasing didn’t play well together!  Groan….I had an inkling that they might not be friends but it was the shade of pink that I needed. So then I went back to the torch on Thursday morning ( she wanted the jewellery by Friday – nothing like “last minute” to put a bomb under a person! lol) and experimented with enamels until I got the right shade – did a couple of extra sets (just to allow for an “mishaps” – no time to do any MORE beads after this!) used a different type of clear glass and tweaked my annealing schedule – which worked well.  Anyway, all’s well that ends well. I got the set done. just in time for pickup. The beads looked lovely and the earrings were gorgeous – she will certainly stand out with this pair of shoulder dusters! Bad news – I never got to take a piccy ‘cos I was in the process of finishing them just as she turned up, but maybe I can ask her to bring them back so I can take a quick happy snap. Boy, I must be the world’s worst photographer! I always forget to take the photo!!!
Anyway….will try very hard to have something to blog about shortly…Keep well everyone – catch you soon!

Cheers

NEW NECKLACES & PENDANTS

G’Day to all! Just thought I’d pop a few pics of some new stuff up on the website.  A few hollow lampworked beads, wired up with sterling silver etc – quite pretty and very tactile with the raised stringer work.  A couple of beautiful sterling silver necklaces – one with semi precious purple agate gemstones and one with my own lampwork beads – very reasonably priced!  And one budget priced base metal silver plated necklace with a very pretty lampwork bead!  Check them out!  What do you think?  You can find them on my Website, Etsy or Artfire……just click on the links.
