Pretty Jewellery

[novicejeweller.livejournal.com]

Pretty jewellery! I finally (after months of nervously biting my fingernails) entered the Vintaj monthly challenge for designing with Vintaj components. The first pic is my entry and should you want to vote, details are on my latest post on my own LiveJournal blog. While I'd LOVE it if you voted for my entry, there are a number of truly stunning pieces there - so vote for whichever you think is best!

And some more recent stuff...

More playing around with Vintaj items - this time with inks, oilsticks and resin



I wanted to try painting a standard door keyplate with alcohol inks. This was the result.



And I thought it was FINALLY time I stopped drooling over other peoples' seed beed embroidery long enough to try it myself. I was pretty happy with the result, although the bail needs redoing.




Don't forget to check out my journal if you want to join in the voting fun!
