jewelllery making for 2010

Purpleroses

ohh i do love this thread, there are some beautiful creations on here. Yukki your pendants are stunning!
I've been making jewellery about 4 years now, selling at craft fairs and local shops. With one thing or another I haven't made anything in a good 6 months and last week decided to sell my beads....that didn't exacty work out and my bead obsession had come back to life lol. I asked my local tourist shop if i could sell my items there again and they agreed so best get moving before the easter crowd gets here.

Anyway enough rambling just thought i'd say hello!

Why not make some bag charms tho using some nice pearls and bicones with tiny baby feet charms http://www.prettycreativeathawthornlane.com/details.asp?ID=2906 to mark the occasion? You could even whip up a few tiny baby shoes as favour boxes to pop them in.

Then you could always make some personalised choccie bars in baby theme. Take say a bar of dairy milk cover with a pretty paper wrapper and add a motif, die cut and some swirly text saying Emma`s Baby Shower etc. You could even do some cello bags of milk bottle sweets tied with pretty ribbons.

You are more than welcome!

I made these a few years ago and they do work really well as little favour containers
The bottom ones are teeny tiny shoes and I made these using pearlised card embossed with butterflies.


Sorry jewellery makers this isn`t tecnically jewellery making - more of a packaging idea.:D

Love those boxes, they are so cute

sorry for the pics coming up, did them with my phone as I couldn't be bothered setting up the light tent, lights, camera etc.

Made this for a customer, hope she likes it, pink and green shells



this I made for myself, for my birthday party next week, a million miles away from the original design (cos that looked better in my head than actually made up), loads of 4 mm fire polished bicones, all in black, squillions of head and eye pins, and a black fire polished butterfly



And these are the earrings to match it

Jo those are just gorgeous the pink and green shell one is very pretty and the black set is very striking.

Hi all
After weeks of lurking and admiring all the gorgeous creations on here I have finally taken the plunge and ordered a starter set that was posted on here ( sorry can't remember who) and lots of findings and beads etc from jilly beads. I could have spent a lot more than I did and kept taking things out of my basket as the price was starting to mount up.
I promise to post on here when I have managed to do something but I must warn you all I have never made any jewellery before so can't promise they will be brill.
