New Jewels Part II

Here are the second and third jewels I promised. The first is a necklace with gold backing, black perspex frame and heart button, and the second is a brooch with green perspex frame, black backing and blue bunny button. Tonight is my last sleep till the big adventure and it's just kicking in, wish me luck! xoxo

NeckLACE

I've been dreaming about this idea for months now, and have finally taken action and made this necklace. It is the first in a series of three which I hope to finish by tomorrow. I want to wear them in the Big Apple. The necklace is a miniature ornate frame in perspex with a gold backing and vintage lace. I added the little metal mesh bow which I found at Bead It, isn't it cute? Will post the other two as soon as they are done. Ooh and I spoiled myself with a new camera. My old one broke and that explains why my last few posts have just been inspiration pics from the internets tee hee! So there shall be plenty postings of creative goodies in the near future.

Only two more sleeps! I'm so excited YIPEE! Can. Not. WAIT! xxx

Kittens in trees

I've been keeping very busy making some samples for a boutique that may be interested in stocking some of my knitwear. I'm keeping it simple, as I couldn't keep up with producing a bunch of garments on my own right now, so I'm just making shrugs and scarves. Here's what I've done so far, please excuse my lame photography...Oh the shrugs double up as a scarf, so there are 2 pics of each. Cute yes.

This is a very fine mohair boucle yarn, beautifully softLove the different levels of transparency in the scarf... jellyfish-esque

This colour is amazing in real life, its got hints of pink and purple, all minky like

These two have skinny sleeves, cute with a little dress

I love how minimalist this is, it looks almost ceramic

They're really sweet because they're uber warm (mohair), good for layering and because they fit nicely in a little handbag, so no carrying big coats around. Yay for that. Also, here are just some of the fashion-related birthday prezzies I received. Thanks friends!

Little earrings from Jenrah, big white clip-ons from kerys, and teacup necklace from Carryn

Thank you to everyone for spoiling me rotten!
