All about red #3

Last week it was all about the seed beads. Oh, and the beautiful red glass beads in between all of those lovely seed beads!

This week, it’s all about the drip beads!

The third necklace features another favourite bead of mine – the drip bead! I make this bead by using the beauty of gravity! Again, this necklace looks really great on, it’s simple, but stunning (thanks to the colour)! I have made this one approx 54cm long, but that can easily be changed if you prefer.

These earrings are quite stunning! They feature two red drip beads, and they are a great length too – approx 5cm long. A really comfortable style to wear. I have kept one of the prototype earrings for myself (in a different colour)!

All about red #2

It was lovely to show you the flower jewellery from last week, with beads that I have made before, just used a bit differently.

Well, if we are doing things a little different, then this week it’s really different! Over the many years that I have been making jewellery I have amassed quite a collection of seed beads. I love seed beads, I just don’t really use them any more! But this month I decided to get them out, and make something with them. This is the end result.

The second necklace features all sorts of red glass beads, with all sorts of red seed beads in between! This lariat style necklace is quite versatile, I have found 2 ways to wear it that I like. The rope is 102cm long.

These earrings are dangly and swingy and lots of fun to wear! They are quite long, sitting at about 6.5cm from top to bottom, so if you like your earrings long, these are the ones for you!

All about red #1

This month colour play is all about the colour RED!

During 2012 I created two pretty cool things. The first was an exhibition all about red glass beads. Titled “10,000 red glass beads” it was a labour of love, and a time that I look back on really fondly. Yes, I really did make 10,000 red glass beads for that exhibition.

At the same time I was pregnant with my second child, and he was born just a couple of weeks after the exhibition opened! Well, that little person is now 5 years old, and he started school this week!

All of that nostalgia led me to make some new red pieces for my colour play series! I have always loved the colour red, and I love to make red jewellery. This month I have some really exciting pieces available.

I have made them all one off pieces. However if an items is sold, and you would like something similar, please feel free to contact me, and I’ll see what I can do.

The first necklace features my favourite red flower beads. I have used red flower beads in all sorts of ways, but I haven’t made a necklace quite like this before. I was thrilled that such a simple style could still look amazing on!

These earrings are quite stunning on! The flower bead sits under the ear lobe, and the silver at the back sits to about 4cm.

My favourite necklace this week….

I have made all sorts of jewellery this week, in preparation for my shift at T’Arts on Saturday, but this necklace is easily my favourite. Red beads with a splash of orange and black. Looks great on!
