Handmade Monday: What a holiday!

Hi all, I've been on a break from blogging but back now and ready to show you all what I've been doing in the meantime.

One thing that happened was the most amazing holiday - we caught the start of the heatwave in the UK, with the result that it felt like being in the Mediteranean even though it was the north east of England.

The sea and the sky were mostly these wonderful shades of blue.  Of course that meant that a certain brown labrador spent a lot of time either in the blue sea or digging in the sand near it!


What a perfect holiday.  And of course, such a fantastic time was really inspiring so lots of jewellery was created in the sunny garden.  Here's a selection.

Starting with the blues, a goddess bracelet and some earrings:

Some flower pieces - the bracelet sold to a fellow jewellery maker - what a compliment that was!



More bracelets:


And so on...




And that's just a few of them - I won't bore you with the rest.  Always good to know which are your favourites though, so please do leave a comment.

Hoping to be back soon with more tutorials. 

Here's the link to see what others have been up to on Handmade Monday.

  3. What really strikes me and attracts me to your pieces are the colours. I love the multi-colour ones in particular - and I love how you photograph them on a leaf background. It really works well!

  5. You've made so any lovely things its hard to choose a favourite, but I think it would be the goddess bracelet. It's amazing that those first few photos are taken in the UK, we've been very lucky with the weather.

  12. Goodness, you don't see that colour of the sea and sky that blue very often, it looks like the colour is reflected in your jewellery.
