Gift for a very good friend....

This idea was originally going to be a Christmas present for a very good friend, but I changed it as a gift for her as she had recently had an operation and she had done so well since the op.  She loves her G&T's so when I saw that the lovely Trudi Doherty of Glittering Prize had made some beautiful lampwork beads with the glass from a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle I knew it was the perfect combination for my friends bracelet.  I contacted Trudi and she very kindly made me the focal bead and 4 more beads from the gin bottle. Within a week she had made them and sent them to me - you can't get better service than that!!!

I then purchased a few more lampwork beads made from the same kind of gin bottle but dotted with sterling silver.  I them made up the bracelet using sterling silver findings and clasp, swarovski crystals in a matching colour with AB coating, and added a little PMC textured heart charm and a dangle to finish the bracelet off.  Here is a few pictures of the end piece....I am very pleased with the end result and hope she is too!

New copper sheet jewellery - an experiment!

Well lately I have been having a go with copper sheeting and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  After cutting out the pieces, sanding them smooth, hammering them and then stamping them with words I mixed them with lampwork glass beads to make a couple of bracelets.  Here are some pictures of items I have made...

This bracelet has copper ovals with the words "PEACE", "HOPE", "LOVE" and "JOY" stamped into them.

This bracelet has just the one focal rectangle with the word "HOPE" stamped into it.
