 Bracelet and Earrings for the Summer

Acid Stripes €45

Acid Stripes 
Fresh colours, bold stripes. I teamed these yellow turquoise and lime acrylic beads with small wood beads in similar colours. I put sets of three beads onto silver plated wire and joined each set with a silver ring. I fastened the bracelet with a silver plated toggle and attached a chain ending in three wood beads to add an element of fun.
Length 22.5 cms. 9 inches
I used three striped acrylic beads and threaded each one onto a silver plated wire. I top and tailed each one with a wood bead picking out the colours of the stripes. I joined the three dangles together with silver rings and finished the earrings with silver plated ear wires.
Length from hook 4cms 1.50 inches

Great summery colours, turquoise, lime and sunny yellow stripes.

Wearable Art Necklace and Earrings 'RUSTIC'

...At last they are finished...If you were following my blog about this set...there were several features I was uncertain about!
The first was the basic necklace

The original design was too unbalanced

...so back to the drawing board..I redid some of it

I was much happier with that arrangement

The next problem was how to decorate it...I chose the leaves and added wooden beads and more finer wrapped wire

 ..and then I attached it to the basic necklace

Now for some earrings to compliment the necklace
I couldn't decide so I made two pairs!

 and

All these will be for Sale in My ETSY Shop soon

Wearable Art... Moroccan inspired Jewellery

Wearable Art

'Rissani' Necklace and Earrings

As my inspiration for this set I used a beautiful piece of polished rock from the Tahiri Fossil Museum, Rissani, Morocco.

I used silk yarn to wrap cotton jersey material to make the necklace and wrapped aluminum wire to make the tendrils and the earrings.

The earrings measure 5 cms. from hook. The hooks are silver plated, nickle free.

The necklace measures 51cms. end to end and is fastened with a silver plated hook and ring.

If you would like to know more about this museum or fossils in Morocco here are two links you may like to follow.....

IMBOLC ....Celebrate the coming of Spring 

 

In Ireland, January 31^st. is  the festival of Imbolc, which begins the season of Spring.

This festival marks the releasing of winter’s grip on the land.

The name Imbolc is derived from the lactating of the ewes which begin lambing at the end of January.

The ancient peoples celebrated this festival as it was the first dairy produce they had after a long dark winter.

Honoring of the goddess Brigit, daughter of the god Dagda, fell on the first day of February, now also called St. Brigit's Day, after she was adopted as a Christian saint.

Woven crosses are still made to celebrate this day.
