Although I haven't been doing much felt making at the moment, I am making jewellery. I love the way you can create a piece of jewellery and wear it the next day. Above is a bracelet I made for my friend from Canada who has just been visiting England for the first time for three years. I used amazonite, mother of pearl, labradorite, botswana agate, shell and zebra jasper, all in neutral shades.
The necklace is for me and is completely different from anything I have made before. Usually, I have much more delicate designs, but I was trying to make a chunkier piece. Initially, I tried to make an assymmetric design, but it just wasn't me at all, so I had to revert back to symmetry. This design has a lot of different gems in it; lapis lazuli, keishi pearl, jade, blue-green jasper, shell, fluorite, labradorite, turquoise and kyanite. I hope it will complement a lovely blue-green cardigan that I wear for work. I am going to make an amethyst necklace next, leaving the wire showing at the back and maybe even plaited.
Incidentally, just to let my lovely followers know, I am having trouble with the comments on my blog. For some reason, they seem to disappear and just show a white screen when you click on them. I am hoping to find out what is happening and get it sorted as soon as I can. (Technology, eh? Brilliant when it works and a complete pain when it doesn't!)
Above bracelet very nice.In which material you have to made it.
ReplyDeleteDear Roby
DeleteThank you for your comment. The bracelet was made using beading thread and crimp beads which held the clasp on. The beads I used are all gemstones and are: amazonite, mother of pearl, labradorite, botswana agate, shell and zebra jasper. I bought most of them from jewellery maker.com.
I hope this answers your question.
Best wishes
