It's been in the works for a while, printers misbehaving and resizing images and printing things wrong.  But finally got it finished and perfect, my new packaging for glass tile pendants!  Simple plastic with card, but takes ages to design, perfect, and put together!  I think they look fab :)

Here's my latest work!



See what I mean?!  Ten days it's been!  I made this bracelet late last night.  I've always worked with silver or silver plate but I absolutely adore brass.  The "steampunk" label is applied to way too many things now - far more than deserve the label but I guess this is along those lines!  It's got that customary brass look, with teeny penny farthing charms!  The beads are a favourite of mine, they catch the light amazingly.



Tom spend a little time this morning photographing a single bead and the way the rays of light shine through and around like little shards of colour.  I'm still twisting his arm to do my jewellery photography for me :)

It's hard to fit in making jewellery around being a mum and working, but here's my latest creation!


You can't really tell from the picture but the red beads are really chunky, there's something about chunky round plastic beads that I love!  It's quite a long necklace finished with a decorative clasp.  I've had these beads for absolutely ages and finally got around to using them in something!
