I Won!

I was very thrilled to see on Wednesday that I was "the chosen one" on Lori Anderson's blog giveaway!

The book Hot Connections Jewelry by Jennifer Chin will soon be winging it's way across the ocean to my front door. I can't wait.

Thanks Lori!

Work In Progress

I had a message from a customer via my Etsy shop a couple of days ago asking if I could make a necklace to go with the lavender enamel earrings I listed recently.

After several messages to and fro we agreed on a design so I made a start yesterday

enamelling several different sized discs. All went smoothly I'm pleased to say!

The design is for three of the discs to hang from a sterling spiral pendant link connected to a disc either side and the discs connected to a chain.

 I'm going to crack on with it today and as soon as I've oxidised the silver and polished it up I'll post a photo of the finished necklace :D

Two New Projects In Bead Magazine

The latest edition of Bead magazine came out last Wednesday (20 July) and I'm really pleased to say I have two projects in this issue!

One is a spiral copper wirework bracelet with turquoise jasper you can find on page 30

And the other is a project on oxidising copper and sterling silver called "Playing With Patina" on page 68 which I don't have a photo for!

It's the third time I've had a project in the magazine and I still get excited when I see it in print :D
