Holiday Sparkle

This is my last post this year so I thought I'd jazz it up a bit with some bling 💖💖💖. 

First up I have these featuring enamelled charms by Kaz Baildon.  I wanted to attach these rather large rhinestones to the charms but wasn't quite sure it would work because of the size and fear of damaging the enamel with the more robust wire wrapping needed in this case.  As you can see from the picture (below) it worked 😄. 

This pair was easier with much smaller rhinestones.  Ceramic drops by Petra Carpreau

These last 2 pairs are simplified versions of one of my signature designs.  Ceramic drops by Petra Carpreau.

That is it for this year.  Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year. I shall see you next year armed with lots more designs no doubt 💖💖💖

Rustic Bling

Sometimes you just need a little bling, especially around the holidays for all the family gatherings and parties. Instead of going into the vault for my diamonds and rubies (tongue in cheek), I prefer my rustic bling. Take some rich solid colors from your closet and add some bold colorful earrings in copper, brass or silver.

These copper earrings are made with handmade copper components from Kristi Bowman. I have added green and dark red Czech glass, and faceted garnet stone beads.
