Matching Flower Power necklace

Flower Power necklace has also been made. This one is matching previously posted bracelet and is made very simple with one flower and double tiger tail wire in black.

I have used green swarovski and seed beads in blue, purple, bronze and rose gold colours.

I won I won....

This week I had my biggest surprise in a long time. I don't know about you, but I am not really used to win anything. If I win the Friday wine bottle at work, my day is perfect if you know what I mean.

Well, back to the surprise. My hairdresser called me at work asking me to come and visit them at the shop as they had a something to show me. I was a big question mark before it daunted on me that it may have something to do with a competition I participated in a few months ago.
So off I went and when I got there, I was met by my hairdresser and Manager for Wella Illumina hair colour who told me I had won the big prize of a free trip! OMG. This is way too good.
So here I am next to my dear hairdresser Sarah who also won the same price (plus a flash suitcase for all her hair products). I think we both were in shock after winning such a great prize.
We were the only two winners in New Zealand and then there were two in Australia as well. Lucky? Yes, I think so.

The questions is now: Where do we go? We can chose between Grand Canyon, USA, Italy, Germany, Greece, Hawaii and Taj Mahal, India. Any suggestions?

Another Flower Power bracelet....

I had to give it another go. There are so many colour combinations I want to test with this technique.
Here is the next one. It is made of green swarovski beads, rose gold, bronze, blue and purple seed beads with a gold colored toggle lock.
What do you think? Is it a good combination or just too busy?

New bracelets are in!

Hi all,

Second beading course

Last Thursday I went for my second beading course. This is good fun!
Again we met at the beading shop's second floor. Just two of us + the teacher this time but just as cozy as last time.

This time we were going to make a heart pendant of 4 mm Swarovski beads and Fireline wire.
There will be more hearts from me for sure, but I have some few more ideas to rough it up a bit.
I am thinking Swarovski, metal beads and leather straps...Time will tell.

Red Swarovski heart pendant

I am in seriously need of a camera with a bigger lens cause it is getting harder and harder to get good close-up pictures, but hope it is good enough for now.

First jewellery course

I have decided to join a few jewellery courses the next couple of months.

The first one was a week ago, just up the road from where I live and after work so really just perfect.

This time we learned to make a Colour Blended bracelet.
Neadle, black Fireline tread and six different seed beads colors were needed. We were six ladies around the table and a superb teacher - and off we went.

First we made a ladder which later turned out to be the support and back of the bracelet and later more beads were added to the front of the bracelet.

This is the result :

Half finished
