Water Lily Brooch - Present

This is yet another flower design - even more petals (not layers):

Water Lily Brooch

This is a present for my friend Liz whose birthday it is tomorrow. :-) It is here presented with my gorgeous teal silk scarf.


The picture below shows the colours better as it's the only one I managed to take without a flash. I've used teal taffeta, dark green, turquoise and fluorescent green crystal organza and blue and pale mint tulle. The centre is a teal button adorned with teeny tiny pearlescent Miyuki drop beads.

The brooch is about 9 cm (3.5") in diameter but very light and will look good worn casually or elegant.
This is the third of my designs.

Currently available:

• Poppy design
• Peony design
• Water Lily design

in a large range of colours and sizes either as hair barrettes, hair clips or brooches. Contact me for a custom design. Prices vary depending on design and size.

A Little Heart of Two Hearts - Commission

Here's a heart necklace I made as a commission for a dear friend.

I made her heart earrings for Christmas and this is the matching necklace ordered by her husband and sons for Mother's Day.

The heart was cut from sterling silver, filed, shaped, a hole punched into it so I could attach it to a chain. I also bashed the living daylights out of it to give it a textured look and stamped two tiny hearts into it.


I included 2 prehnite faceted beads into the design:


Below you can see the tiny little hearts stamped into the big heart.


Here are the matching earrings:

I just had a text from her and she loves it. :-)

Flowers in Your Hair continued....

Thirty nine layers of luscious sparkly organza.... in bright colours. How could that not brighten up your day?


In the centre is a lime green shimmery button with lovely glistening lavender Magatama drop beads.


This one is slightly bigger than the others - 8.5cm (3 1/4").
