All Jewellery Today...

Today I had a jewellery day, I managed to enter a few challenges on the CB forum ,I made a ring for Rebecca and the rest I made to sell.....
This necklace is made with wooden and glass beads , added in a cluster at the bottom of a chain...I made this for Tiggertastics Jewellery challenge blog, I used the colours from the butterfly...

I made this necklace for a challenge on the cb forum, I made the heart pendant out of a thicker wire and then wound a thinner wire around the heart shape and added beads....

I used some thin wire on these hoops and I think they look like spider webs....really pleased with the way they turned out...

I received these beads from a rak from a friend on the cb forum, I added some green beads I had and used some tigertail wire...

A silver and black cluster ring...I made this for a challenge on the cb forum...I used a pewter ring base and added beads and headpins....

A couple of handbag charms, made with beads I had from a rak over on the cb forum...

This is a ring I made for Rebecca, she chose the bead and told me what she wanted...and this is what I came up with...she was very pleased with it...

This is the first time I hav entered challenge blogs so I am a bit nervous and I hope I have done alright.

This is my entry for the Basic Grey challenge blog..this weeks challenge was to doodle on your card..I have used the basic grey sugared collection and the basic grey butterfly stamp...my doodle is on the side..

Meet George.....also tags and bookmarks...

This is George, he is a baby Tawny Owl....he is one of two and his brother is called Fred....(children are big fans of Harry Potter hence Fred and George)...unfortunately they were found in a barn and their mother was dead...so we were called and went to pick them up....they are living in the kitchen at the moment but will move outside when they are bigger....Tawny owls are nocturnal so when I am off to bed,they are up , wanting to be fed....needless to say not a lot of sleep is happening for me at the moment...but they are so gorgeous!!!

These are my entries for the bookmark swap...the theme was fashion so this is what I came up with...the winter design is my new Sugar Nellie stamp, its probably best used for christmas but I couldn't resist giving it an airing..

These are my tags for the tag swap over on the cb forum....I have used basic grey papers and sugar nellie stamps, the one on the left is a new stamp for me....it is gorgeous I think...
