Take a look if you will......none of it is pretty - it's all for the adventurous soul.......
Afganistan stampings, eletra (bug wings) and tribal fringe bits on Noibium ear-wires (I LOVE Noibium ear-wires - after my second child was born I couldn't wear any of my earrings but Noibium has changed all of that) - and I'll warn you now, I shall be using lot of my tribal belly dance bits and bobs in the upcoming jewellery selection......
Afghanistan stampings, light metal circles, kyanite shards and steel wire - all very light-weight and all on noibium wires - from now on all earrings are on noibium wires and if they're on sterling silver wires I'll tell ya....
Brass stampings, hammered out, brass wires (sorry - forgot about these ones) and tribal bits and bobs, turquoise stones and quartz crystals held in brass bell bead caps.....
I love these ones most - twisty vintage pearls, inside light-weight brass rings, decorated with brass religious medals and belly dance bits, super small antique keys and faceted vintage beads.....noibium wires like I said before....
I adore this necklace - it has a massive inverted rhinestone crescent, held with antique patinated tin, accented with a vintage thingy (ok, I have no other word for it!) and a large amethyst point wound in annealed steel wire. It is held as a necklace by vintage lace, wound with more steel and an extender chain finished with a carnelian bead.
I have a whole heap of these coming up - amulet necklaces - little pouches of vintage fabric where you can secrete something precious to you and only you.....this one is made of vintage sari fabric and is embellished with a blue oyster shard, a tribal belly dance doo dad, kyanite teeth and golden and pink sari decos. All held with plaited blue silk, antique brass chain and a French religious medal.....
All metal has been oxidised - Indian metal work, altered agates, kyanite shards, metal bits, religious medals and niobium ear-wires......
I love this one - vintage tin outer, silver and amber earring as a rivet, vintage book pages, agate beads, brass chain and silk length wrapped with glistening thread. Turquoise and tribal bits for deco on the bottom...... absolutely one of a kind......
Gypsy Tribal bangle stacks (tutorial courtesy of Fanciful Devices) and the above ones are in white....
These ones are in pink.......
These are in green......
Apparently I made water-melon tourmaline bangles and so I am happy.
Give me 48 hours and all of this and more will be up in my Etsy shop.....if you want anything before then be quick and we can negotiate a price.....xx
You want to be careful with that tutorial and the bangles, it gets seriously addictive. Loving your new lovelies, especially the book necklace
