I saw this jewellery display stand somewhere on the net (Pinterest I think) and decided to try to make it myself. I found these beautiful small cups in the market and thought they would be perfect for my project. I really like the idea of recycling things and I'm always looking for new ideas..........not just to save money but to make something you can't find in the stores. We all like something unique don't we?.... but very often it costs lots of money. I made this for about £2..................love it!! :-D

I just got some new tools in today and had to try them. I made this little cross with a pink stone just a couple of hours ago. It needs a few small improvements but over all I think it turned out well

This is how the little red doily bowls look with tea lights. I think it's beautiful with the shadows on the wall

I just finished these for my daughter and she loves them :-D. This time I made the doilies myself because I couldn't find them in the right colour

I'm on Pinterest and I check in every day to see all the brilliant ideas and projects.

A few days ago I went out and bought some doilies in the market. I waned to make these little beauties. I like the shadows they make and I'm going to make more of these

I used a special glue called Paverpol but you can also use a mix of school glue (about half a bottle), 1/2 cup of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water. Dip the doilies in the glue and squeeze out excess. I used a drinking glass turned upside down and covered it in wrapping film to shape the doilies. Let dry over night 

I love jewelry! I love to make ewelry!

I just started so I'm in the learning process but today  one of my partners friends came over with his tools and told me I could keep it..........how cool is that! Now I can take my jewelry making to a whole new level (I hope).

I started with Yggdrasil as it's called if you're Asatru, or the Tree of life as it's known to most people. I've made 7 of these already and the Asatru community loves them so all 7 are sold. I found a great tutorial here but instead of beads, I used gemstone chips. I think it looks more like the leaves of a tree.

This is my first attempt

I really like to make this and I'm planning to do bracelets, earrings and rings.........eventually.

Here is more of my work. So far I'm just copying what others do, but I hope to be good enough to make my own designs

The pictures are not very good. I guess I'll have to learn to take better pictures too :-)

This will be my first post on my new blog. I'm new to this, but I hope to be able to show you the things I make and perhaps inspire some of you. I love to be creative - in fact, it's as important to me as breathing and there are lots of people out there who inspire me to be better
