Crazy with the heat

I think I've gone bit craaaazy this afternoon - it is 41C here, and its 6PM  day 6 of 30 plus weather, and a 150 year record. I'm weather obsessed.. always have been since I was a kid ...  anywho.. . back to beads!

Regular readers might have observed that I' ve got a thing for birds and hearts - just can't help myself.  Well today its hearts a plenty.




Jennifer of Blue Seraphim made the sweetest glass hearts - if you're quick you can grab a set at her store. that is,  if I don't give in and buy some more myself.  I've made 2 pieces with them.





Bless Your Heart Necklace
This one has a nice casual feel, and I like that the heart is off to the side.I'm a big fan of assymetry.

Heart of Glass Necklace
Not much to this one, I know. I wanted to let the hearts speak for themselves - they are so beautiful and voluptuous.


Nancy of Round Rabbit also makes amazing porcelain hearts that are total contrast - grabbed about 4 on the last RR update binge - love the retro 70's geometric embossing on this one.









Enjoy the weekend dear readers, and stay cool / warm wherever you are.

    Jewelry has become a hot fashion trend. The days of heavy chains, bangles and earrings seem to be passé. Precious jewelry like this has its charm that you opt to wear over and over again.

Slowly Healing

Image
Hi there, sorry it has been so long between posts. I've been making only small amounts of jewellery of late, and have been trialling my new light tent to take photos, with mixed results - it can get very dark at our place during winter so I finally gave in. The egg bead featured below is by the lovely Vero of Narrative - what a talented artist she is. Egg Pendant On a personal note, the loss of Main Coon Max cat three months ago left me with not a lot to say for a while blog wise- he might have "only been a cat" as non pet people say, but to my husband Kevin and I, he was a vital part of our lives, and we were not prepared to say goodbye after 4 short years. Sasha, Max's sister, still looks for him every day which is somewhat heart breaking. This all has resulted in a fairly low key frame of mind as we move through our grieving time - time heals, as they say, and we are slowly mending  thanks to the love of friends, family and the sweet nature of Sasha.

Pattern and Connectors

Image
Phew what a week!  I finished up at my day job on a Friday, and started a new role with a new firm on Monday. Busy, busy. I set up Sasha and Max on Facebook (after much hesitation - it was not a very user friendly site for a Gen X gal), and I've been a beading demon this weekend, making lots of  pairs of earrings and these necklaces. It's interesting how using like materials and scale but in very different styles can deliver some diverse results - I'm having a jewellery open afternoon next Saturday with my lovely Mum, and the possible age range of the ladies attending will be broad, hence the experimenting with styles. Hey, my jewellery design style is generally my style, so it's either your thing or not, but it does range from clean lined to more decorative when I feel like it. The top necklace has a connector from Summers Studio , combined with 2 scales of wooden beads and seed beads. It is a good mix of contemporary and classic. The middle one makes a ...

Maxy Cat

Sweet Maxy, one of our main coon twin cats (furr kids) after whom this blog and the jewellery shops are named has been very ill over the last few days. We are on an emotional rollercoaster, he is only a baby at 4 years, and has just pulled through major kidney surgery this afternoon. We are hoping and praying that he survives the ordeal.  If you can say a prayer or send some healing karma our way for Max that would be wonderful. Thanks, Vicki and Sasha (and Kevin, my darling husband)
