Green Tea

Another gift for a friends birthday.

Vintage Chain, Tea Cup Charm from crotchetynoodnick on Etsy, Green Bead from The Bead Shop.

Jewellery

After making the Ruffles and Stuff necklace jewellery has been my new thing.

Firstly I repaired this pendant that was given to me by my grandmother. It is ivory and I always feel guilty about wearing it.

Well repaired may be a bit of a stretch. I painted on a new foot with nail varnish (which doesn't even match) and then went over his other foot with the same colour. I've probably ruined it.

Next I bought these charms from the bead shop, attached jump rings and instantly had three new necklaces. I wore a tea pot to work last week.

This was another piece given to me by my grandmother. It is a heart shaped locket and I've had it years. It still has a picture of my pony inside it. It had been missing a pendant carrier forever so I just attached a jump ring again.

Didn't make this one myself but bought it from the mind charity shop for £2. I like it because it is shiny!

Barbed Heart

After making my Christmas gifts I have found myself with rather a lot of beading wire left over. This is my first attempt at using it up and one that I am pretty impressed with if I do say so myself. I twisted two pieces of wire together before forming them into a heart shape then used small individual pieces to make the barbs. I don't have any jewellery pillars just a piar of large DIY ones but I managed to muddle through. Had very sore fingers by the end though.
