Jewellery Sneak Peek
I thought I’d show you what I’m making today. Here are some pieces from a range of jewellery destined for my shop, waiting to be sealed within resin & made all shiny & gem-like. I’ve already shown you this bracelet from my folk art inspired range, these blue & white designs are influenced (as you might have guessed!) by Delftware. I wanted to do a woodland theme, but not the usual suspects such as bears & rabbits. I finished the swan the other day (I’m quite happy with it!) & I’m currently drawing weasels for yet another addition to The Woodlanders range. You might have noticed the little weasel I drew for this calendar – I thought he was so cute I just knew another weasel would pop up soon enough. These pieces are quite large – 55x43mm (2.15×1.7 inches) – & I’m making them into pendants & cuff bracelets (the little hearts top-right are for matching rings). I like larger jewellery myself, but I’m also making some dainty-sized pieces too. I’ve had friends & family road testing my jewellery for about a year now, & it’s great to see it stand up to the rigors of every day wear & tear such as grabby toddlers. Nicest of all is hearing reports back of the compliments my jewellery has received!

Thank you Joye – I hope my shop opens soon too! I keep on getting sidetracked, but I’m working on it! :)
These are gorgeous Karena! The blue and white combo is fab!
Good luck with your shop, i’m sure you will do so well with these! Great style and very unique! xox
I love limited colour palettes so it was only a matter of time before I attempted blue & white. Thanks Kat!
I just wandered over to your blog to see what you’ve been up to lately, & I absolutely love that sweet little girl amongst the flowers. Pale green is one of my favourite colours.
Dreamy designs. Gosh the cuff bracelet is so intriguing! I’ll be waiting….
Thank you Joy! I particularly like the bracelet myself & think I’ll make myself one with either the swan or moth – I still can’t decide.
Wow, these are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what you come up with :)
Thank you Michelle! :)
Oh these are perfect for brooch or pendants!
Can’t wait for the shop to open, Karena! Woot!
These are going to really look good as jewelry. I love them all! I just took a look at that bracelet it’s so pretty.
This is very unique indeed.
