As yet un-named- but it is FINISHED!



Finally, I can tick off another UFO...

I beaded the cabochon probably close to 18 months ago, then didn't know how to finish it. After rediscovering the Cellini Spiral, I decided that it was perfectly suited to the cab.

The question then was, how to attach the spiral to the cab????

I worked through some ideas and came up with this.

My list of UFO's is getting shorter....

So far I have completed these two cuffs:

Triangle Earrings

I bought a tutorial off Sabine Lippert here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Trytobe and used the triangle pattern to make these earrings for my sister>








I then made these grey earrings and whilst over for Christmas dinner, my stepmother snagged them.



These are such fun little gifts to make and quick too!

Use the Muse III reveal....


The big reveal happened overnight (for those of us in the bottom half of the world anyway) and sadly, I was not lucky enough to get a place. However the entries that won are amazing, intricate, awesome and awe-inspiring!


I really hope there is another contest!


Here is a link to the winners page: http://www.thebeadersmuse.com/winnersutm3/

Two pairs of earrings




The first pair are for my niece for Christmas. Her name is Morgan, so the main bead is Morganite. My sister has been wanting some Morganite for her daughter for ages and I finally found some.
The second pair are a simple peridot pear shaped drop, wrapped in rolled gold and finished with rolled gold ear posts.

I need your help....












Here are some of my UFO's.

What I want from you guys, is to stay on my back! Pester me, hound me and don't let up. I really should finish these projects that are scattered all over my craft room.

Some need a lot of work, others just need a clasp....





I am adding myself to the "I need more hours in the day" queue..


I have all these amazing cabochons, and it seems like no time to do them.
Not counting these cabochons, I have 26 projects on the go at the moment.
WOW!!
Maybe I should outsource???
