Jewellery Making Workshops

Had a great morning running my first 'Make your own tree decorations using jewellery making techniques'.  Everyone enjoyed it and liked the idea of taking them home and putting them on the tree.  I overheard someone say 'it'll make a change for Mum to bring something home to show'!

I had put up the Xmas tree in my studio to create an atmosphere despite it being a bit too early.  However, it did create a festive mood.  The teabreak is highly popular as I provide handmade cupcakes (I didn't make them) and I think all enjoy their 'naughty indulgence' after a hard week at work.

This workshop is running on the 10 December and 17 December - a few spaces available if you fancy some festive fun, creating some handmade decorations, a delicious cupcake all in the comfort of my studio - just get in touch.  Sheila

sWork in progres

Decided to make a wired flower pendant with gold wire and swarovski crystal centre - still not quite complete but I will 'tweak' it a bit more.

Wirework

Yesterday I was very busy with some orders where I was using this technique.

I was making a tiara with Swarovski crystals and silver plated wire. I was using a combination of twisting wire and making spirals. The wire is twisted to hold the crystal in place and by a process of adding 'branches' this can create a filigree effect.

Spirals are made by winding the wire around the round nosed pliers. I have also completed a cuff bracelet by using this technique. This image will be uploaded to my website.

I also made a bridal comb using 'silver seed beads' and twisting wire with pearls and crystals. This will be uploaded also.
