Lucite & Filigree Floral Beaded Necklaces
I made these lucite and filigree floral beaded necklaces back in 2013 but for some reason never got around to adding them to my shop.
Beads
Ribbon & Bead Hoop Decorations
Just before Christmas, I created some tree decorations using memory wire, ribbon and beads. Mine ended up on the cheese plant.
Random Bead Earrings
My mum gave me a selection of beads a few weeks back to turn into earrings for her, and I finally got around to it yesterday!
Beaded Peyote & Resin Brooch
This was a special present I made for my mum for her birthday. The outside is peyote stitched beads and the inside is a resin dome I made a white back.
Beaded Peyote Necklace
Last year I made my mum a couple of pairs of earrings for her birthday, one pair of which turned out slightly bigger than I expected. After a few months procrastination, I turned said earrings into a necklace and it became this year’s birthday present instead!
Peyote Earrings
I recently discovered a beading technique called peyote, an off-loom bead weaving stitch. It’s actually the free-form version which caught my eye, but thought I had better start somewhere a little easier! I found some wonderful free instructions by Jill Wiseman (link below) and created these beauties for my mum’s 70th birthday.
Upcycled & New Bag Charms
This week I made a few new bag charms. Some are made from scratch whilst others I created from earrings and necklaces I had either never worn or bought new with a mind to turn them into something else.
Three Bag Charm Gifts
The charm on the left I made in Dec 2013, and the other two in Oct 2014. All were given as gifts to friends.
Fifteen Custom Bag Charms
A couple of weeks ago I was commissioned to create fifteen little beaded bag charms, similar to some I have in my shop. They look lovely all piled together.
Dolphin Earrings
A short while ago I was asked by a friend to make two pairs of dolphin earrings, and having several charms left over made some for my shop too.
Even More Memory Wire Bracelets
I really enjoy making bracelets using memory wire, so set to making a few more using various glass beads and stones.
Halloween Bracelet
I made this chunky orange and black beaded bracelet for myself.
Green Glass Bracelets
I made myself a chunky green glass bead bracelet, threaded onto elastic, and a more delicate green glass and antique brass bracelet for my sister-in-law-type in honour of the Aged P who loved green.
Egyptian Bracelet
I decided to make my friend Sharon an Egyptian themed bracelet for her 40th birthday this year. The tiny beads threaded on bars are authentic antique Egyptian stones.
Metal Charm Earrings
On my last trip to visit the folks, I bought a selection of metal charms with the idea of turning them into earrings. Here are the finished items.
Silver Skull Pin Brooch
I fancied having a go at making a brooch using a large safety pin with hooks on to dangle things off. I chose silver skulls, wings and black lucite flowers.
Gothic Wing Earrings
I thought I would have a go at making a pair of hoop earrings using a piece of memory wire and various gothy looking beads and charms. I’m really pleased with the result and know just the person to give them to!
Bead & Safety-Pin Bracelet
For my friend Ali’s 40th birthday I made her a bead and safety-pin bracelet. It was quite fiddly to thread, but worth it as it makes quite a statement.
More Memory Wire Bracelets
I recently purchased a larger display stand for when I do craft fairs, all I have to do now is make enough items to fill it. So, yesterday I spent the day making memory wire bracelets.
Button & Flower Earrings
I’ve been a busy bee again today and made lots of new things! I had a go at making earrings from buttons, and am very pleased with the results. I also made some earrings using polymer clay flower beads, which are very cute.
Memory Wire Bracelets
I’ve just made three more memory wire bracelets, using a variety of beads and plastic tubing.
Skull and Eyeball Earrings & Bag Charms
A bit of skull related jewellery making before bedtime last night! I made some skull bag charms, and skull and eyeball earrings.
Beaded Bracelets
I thought I’d have a go at making some new beaded bracelets, some with chain backing and other the beads themselves creating the chain. I used a wide variety of sizes, styles and colours.
Kawaii Bag Charms
I’ve been super busy this week having made 30 new bag and key charms. The tips of my fingers are now sore and rough!
Small Pearly Earrings
I thought it would be nice to make some smaller earrings for a change, so came up with this selection. The bead sections measure about 1cm long and feature a selection of pearly beads, faceted glass crystal beads and rhinestone beads in various colours.
Faceted Teardrop Crystal Earrings
I love these faceted teardrop crystal beads, and have made one pair of earrings per colour to add to my shop.
New Beaded Earrings [Jan 2013]
I’ve just added several new pairs of newly made earrings to my shop, as well as updating a few of my older designs I wasn’t happy with.
Iridescent Marbled Earrings
These iridescent marbled beads are just wonderful. I have created four pairs of earrings with them.
Floral Bracelet
My mum asked me to make her friend a bracelet for Christmas using little polymer clay and lucite flowers beads. This is the result!
Beaded Charm Bracelets
I just finished making these four chunky beaded charm bracelets, and spent far longer than I care to admit fannying around with ideas! However, I am very pleased with the results.
Beaded Bag Charms
My first foray into beaded bag charms has gone well, with eight different styles.
Bits & Peices
I made these little mixed fabric and bead shapes last year, and are lovely little things! I’ve turned one into a necklace but haven’t decided what to do with the five yet.
Pink Felt Bead Necklace
I made this necklace for myself a while ago now, but thought I’d post a picture of it. The felt beads are a bit fiddly to make, but worth it!
Earrings For Mummy
Here are some earrings I made for my mummy during her visit at the beginning of the month. She was most pleased with them and we had a fun time playing with all my beads too!
Coiled Wire Earrings Experiment
I received my wire coiling gizmo today. No instructions, so after a bit of research on the internet I had a go at making a pair of earrings and am quite pleased with the results for a first try. I’m looking forward to experimenting with ideas now!
New Beaded Earrings [Apr 2012]
I’ve just added eighteen pairs of newly made earrings to my shop.

I’ve just added eighteen pairs of newly made beaded earrings to my shop.
New Beaded Earrings [Nov 2011]
I’ve decided to take a stab at making earrings, and am most pleased with the results. Made from a selection of glass, metal and other beads, and measure between 4-5cm (including hooks).
Felt & Beaded Necklace
Here’s the necklace I made my mum for Christmas. The pendant part is made from a metal washer wrapped in black netting, textured wool and beads. The cord part has wooden beads and felt beads.
