Some Halloween Cuffs and Earrings

I really should be posting more blogs. I mean I start out with good intentions but sort of get tied up with other things and to be honest I feel I make such a mess of my blog page... oh never mind lets share some of the jewellery I have been doing in time for Halloween.

Couldn't make cuffs with out making earrings to match

This past year ...well since January really I decided to use more mixed media and to try new techniques. One of the techniques I have been learning and really enjoying is wire work. Here is a wire work cuff and earrings to match.

A hand formed wire frame with hand knitted wire insert The polymer clay roses and howlite skulls and crystals are then woven into the insert. The shepherd style clasp hook I also made.

These I have put up for sale on my website

Not only are they suited for Halloween but anyone who likes gothic fashions.

Some More Inspirations from Monet and Mother Nature

In my last post I told of how inspired I was by a recent trip to the Welsh Museum in Cardiff. 

Here is some more of earrings that I made from the left over cane. And also some stick /pin brooches that I made with the inspiration from Mother Nature with the rose. To add a little bit of difference I added a locket to the rose. There are no hard and fast rules as how to wear a locket!

Inspired By Artists 'Monet'
