 Hello, just a short post to tell you about a fab new jewellery  components supplier a friend had suggested to me on Facebook.  Her shop on Etsy  is http://www.silversense.biz/ and it is full of gorgeous and unusual   things.

From left to right- chrysolite  celsian coated melons,topaz/emerald leaf shaped czech glass,
Green mix donut czech firepolished,  Copper hearts pressed czech glass, Picasso 3 petal flowers in turquoise , bronze lustre and peacock metallic.


 The shop owner , Rossi , is lovely and helpful and was kind enough to send me some samples for me  to look at. I can't wait to get on and use them , check back soon to see what I made! I have also ordered  and  delivery is very quick-great service.

Turtles!

Freshwater pearl nuggets brushed circle links in copper and silver , Picasso red 3 petal flowers,
czech glass coffee beans, czech glass turtles-these are fab!


Go and take a look- and if you find some goodies that take your fancy use this code LA10OFF for a 10% discount if used  within 2 weeks of this posting - as if you needed an excuse to go shopping !
 There are some  lovely semi precious stones at bargain 50% off prices, a great selection of Czech glass beads, Picasso beads and  also some cute fruit beads. Must also mention the Turtles!

Sari Ribbon party Blog Hop Today !! Friday 14th October 2011


Today is the day where all participants of the Sari  Ribbon Party Blog Hop unleash their creations for the world to see! Please visit as many Blogs (listed below) to see what everyone came up with and leave your comments :)
 The criteria was - make a piece of  jewellery- but it must incorporate sari ribbon in the design. Sari ribbon is the gorgeous jewel-like coloured remnants  from the Indian factories where sari silks are  woven. I love the eclectic mix of colours and the  distressed edging to it.

 Here is what I made: Frozen Charlotte pendant on sari ribbon and  doubl link brass chain. I am afraid I rushed to make her , so I may well add more- I thought maybe some large blue crystals interpersed along the chain . I LOVED the electric blue colour  on this piece of ribbon and the eyelash fringing. Frozen Charlotte  dolly moulded in polymer  clay , with brass wings  set on  a Black Onyx Round. Brass snowflake stamping as a nod to her demise!


Frozen Charlotte- now at peace -warm at last !

Thanks as ever to Brenda Sue for organising this event and for being inspiring on a daily basis!


I also  made these Indian Summer  Bracelets, sari ribbon, brass wire and Carnelian in fab autumn shades (Have 2 sets available one in larger size 8.5" wrist size)
 Please come and visit my Facebook page   MagPie In The Sky DesignerJewellery and say hello.
