Making Day

I've been having a serious making day today which has meant no computer interruptions :)



First off I made these Memory Wire bracelets. They are very simple to do but take a little time. I like to include something special in each design so there is a mix of silver lined and hand made glass, Swarovski crystal and gemstones.


My favourite is one with Fluorite, silver lined pink glass, Rose quartz and a hand made feature bead with a pink rose pattern inside. I'll have to take a better picture of it than this though :)
Fluorite is a lovely gem stone that varies from palest green to almost turquoise and from lavender to deep purple. Some stones even have both colours in at the same time.










Secondly I made some more hearts within hearts using different colours of Swarovski crystal for each heart. Showing here are Siam red and Aqua AB. These take a little knowledge of wire working to make but are well worth the effort. I used Silver plated wire for these but hung on Sterling silver chain.

Hope you like them :)

    1. The bracelets are more design led but Rose Quartz is believed to help in matters of love so seemed appropriate at this time of year :), fluorite is used against stress and helps confidence :)
