Jewellery Party - Final Post

The jewellery party went really well and lots of items went to new good homes....

...I've just finished the modifications for some of them and one commission.

Items no longer available are:

The wonderful Klimtesque necklace


I have just shortened it and added a different dangle so it will go with some other jewellery sold to the same lovely customer a while back:

And here's a detail of the intricate wire work:
 


The Constellation necklace is gone too....


and here are some matching Starlight earrings I just finished:

... here's a detail shot of the earrings - I've used a handmade soldered rose copper hammered ring and attached some teeny labradorite rondelle beads to it with antiqued copper wire. The earrings are really small and perfect for a little everyday glam with the gorgeous blue fire in the labradorite rondelles.


I've also modified my Willow Mk2 earrings to make them a teeny bit shorter:


I sold the lovely copper Leafy Blue bangle...


Both of the Dragon's Heart necklaces - the short one and the long one:



Crochet Wire Squares set:



I sold loads more, including the lovely red hat.



A big thank you to all my lovely customers and friends who came to the party and bought presents and treats for themselves and the biggest thank you to Caroline who helped me out with lighting and lots of support in every way.

There is still time to order your Christmas presents... or a treat for yourself if you've already done your Christmas shopping.

This one is made from a wonderful brightly coloured vintage fabric, some turquoise shimmery, silky fabric, turquoise net fabric and burgundy organza. A turquoise button and a few blue beads are added for decoration.




This one is made from a different, brightly coloured vintage fabric, pink satin, burgundy dupioni silk and burgundy net fabric. The brooch has been decorated with a vintage bead, a flower button and some sequins.

Black leather, one petal layer with the smooth side up and one with the suede side up, black net fabric, a layer of fake fur and a layer of organza, decorated with vintage beads.

Due to a harddisk crash earlier this year, I have lost lots of e-mail addresses, so if you didn't get an invitation, it's not because I didn't want to invite you, but because I couldn't! If you'd like an invitation, please leave a comment with your e-mail address or send me an e-mail and I'll send you the details. If you live in Cambridge or the surrounding area and would like to come, just leave a comment with your e-mail address. And don't worry, your details won't be plastered all over the net, I moderate my comments and will just take the details and then remove the comment.

Here are some of the specials that will be on offer:


To see details of the pale blue hat and wrist warmers set, go here.
To see details of the cutest of Ninja Bunnies, go here.
To see details of the burgundy wrist warmers and brooch set, go here.


Teal Gauntlet Wrist Warmers

These are made from a teal acrylic in a wonderful teal green - imagine emerald green with a hint of blue. It's a gorgeous colour and because they're acrylic they're easy to wash.









Pastel Roses Hat and Wristwarmer Set

The hat is made from Lang Mille Colori (10% Cashmere, 60% Wool, 30% Microfibre) and Debbie Bliss Astrakhan (10% Cashmere, 60% Wool, 30% Microfibre) and a little bit of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino (flower).






The wrist warmers are made with the Lang Mille Colori and the Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. All the yarns I've used are fantastically soft and will keep you warm even through a cold winter.



 

 Prices for the sets/wrist warmers depend on the yarn and the amount of detail, but start at about £12. If you'd like to reserve any of the items, send me a quick e-mail or leave a comment.
