Make 50: Week 45 and custom order continued
My make for this week is this pair of earrings, they have fabric embedded inside which gives them an ornate sketchy feel.
I am progressing with the custom order I blogged about in my last post. The pieces are now sanded and polished (sorry for the flash I took it after 10pm last night), I drilled them this morning and started working on the findings, though I need some ribbon clamps and triangular clamps to be delivered before the bulk of the work can be done. I will also be making real silver name tags for them too, so there will be another update…
Make 50: Week 44
This week’s make is this pair of ladybird earrings:
And I was asked to keep you posted on the friendship necklaces, so here are the two I currently have available, working on a girly girly one at the minute:
Make 50: Week 31
I made this pair of clownfish earrings for my make this week!
Make 50: Week 30
For my make this week I have these heart earrings. There’s actually more to them than meets the eye- first I cut off the shank on some heart shaped buttons and created a mould from them in silicone, then cast the resin (which for some reason kept missing pieces of the heart out). WhenI eventually got 2 whole harts, I sanded and polished them, then drilled a cup for a swarovski to sit in. This then had to be gelcoated in place and the posts added in the same way to the reverse. I’m selling these for £12, and need to list these on my website today!
Make 50: Week 25 – The idea worked!
Remember that rough sketch a few posts ago? Well it turned into a rather nice pair of resin J-hoop earrings! I’m really pleased with how these turned out, I am currently making some silver leaf ones as we speak!
Make 50: Week 22 and 23
I was a bit naughty and didn’t blog a make last week, that’s not to say that I didn’t make anything, I in fact made a lace cuff amongst other lacy things for Kathleen and Lily’s but didn’t take a photo. A lot of my makes get shipped off as soon as they’re finished which makes this (and my failed attempt at Crafting 365 over on Flickr) near impossible for me!
Anyway here goes, these are technically kind of the same thing, but I don’t think it matters- available on Etsy, Folksy and my site
Battenburg cake stud earrings:
Pink Grapefruit stud earrings:
An idea…
Can you tell what it is? I had a query through Etsy today and it got me thinking- I could offer J-hoop style earrings very easily, so I will be having a play with these and see whether the sketch can transform into reality!
Also I have picked 3 people to receive something from me in the pay it forward, they are:
Alix
Katie
Sarah Scott
Don’t forget that you can now blog for participants in your own Pay It Forward now that you have been selected- I’ll get stuff out to you next week once I’ve collected your addresses!
Make 50: Week 8
This week I finished these earrings with little goldfish inside. They’re for a custom order but I’m thinking of making more, what do you think?
Giveaway and Make 50: Week 7
Here’s my make for this week- some finished earrings with embedded moss. I will have these at the Remade Fashion Fair this Saturday at the Custard Factory, where I am showing my jewellery made from recycled materials and also found objects.
This week there is a twist to showing off my make- I’m offering it as a giveaway! To enter, leave a comment below linking to your favourite item for sale in the Crafteroo Comic Relief shop which can be found here: http://crafterooshop.folksy.com
The winner will be drawn on 1st March at random. Good luck!
Moss cabochon update!
I had a play with the moss cabs that I made, and could turn them into little biorb-esque pieces if I drilled close to the edge. The 1.5mm drill bit worked a dream, so this is what I came up with! Very pleased with the earrings, not sure about the bracelet, I think it needs something more adding, any ideas?
Not sure about the brooches, but will take them along to Remade anyway, and I’m also selling the cabochons singlely for other people’s craft use, I’m thinking £1 each.
Also my book is back up to full RRP as the offer finished yesterday, but it is very close to completion now, and may even be ready before the stated dates!
