Hello hoppers. Time for that snoop around the world, to see what mess others make of their desks and work spaces, care of
Julia and the Stamping Ground. If you want to look-see or join in, just follow my link. It's great fun.
I did not get to as many of you as I wanted to last time, as I have had a difficult few days with mum's care... suffice it to say, the District nurse is coming tomorrow morning, and I want a few answers!!! -
now Gaywood, just don't cry like you did this morning!!!
Anyway, on to happier things. Because I have been very stressed and my energy has wobbled about like crazy, I have tried to get creative more often, so I am catching up on DT work etc... and I finished off the beads I made for my design spot with the Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog. So that's what's on my desk this evening...
Now look closely 'cos I have been brave and shown you a goodly portion of my space today -
well that's because she actually cleaned the floor and it's at least respectable today!!!
I began with the centre drop, using a Vintaj piece. I pierced it three times to hold the jump rings. That ickle bead is going to dangly inside the ring...
I am well on with my wire work here, and have made some earrings to match. The beads were made in mokume gane style with polymer clay. The whole technique was posted
here, at the Artistic Stamper site, if you are interested to see how it was done... I also made a frame, which I will show you at the end of this set.
Anyway, back to those earrings!!! Well these are yours truly's ears -
what a pity the jewellery does not match the blouse!!!! These beads here are real agate.
And here is the finished ensemble -
woo, get her being all posh!! - I made the bracelet some time ago, and wanted the necklace and earrings to "match". I think it turned out quite well.
This is the drop detail, and the ickle bead in pride of place, all dangly and stuff...
So that's the finished project. I am very pleased with the beads and the set looks really nice all together.
This is the frame I made with clay. Well I am off now to try to sleep and gird my loins to confront the district nurse in the morning!! Thanks for visiting and have a great week.
Love and light
Frankie

Wow Frankie, what absolutely stunning work. I LOVE those beads, and the way you've arranged them, with the dangly one in the middle of the ring, and those fabby earrings! Beautiful work.
I'm sorry to hear you've having problems with your mum's care, and I hope all went well with the district nurse.
Happy WOYWW,

That frame is so lovely! And to think it is made with clay. I always think of clay as that horrible stuff we played with as kids, but I know clay is much more sophisticated than that. Your beads and beadwork is very lovely. I love necklaces and bracelets that coordinate! We definitely can see more of work area this week and I appreciate that. I see that we are getting spied on from the windowsill too.
Gorgeous beads. Thanksfor sharing.
