LILLYBETH Necklace

Karin's Polymer Clay Heart here, looks very much like either a beautifully painted porcelain vase from a romantic era, or a lovely wrapping paper bouquet sleeve to hold this pretty floral arrangement of carved Shell Flowers, Garnet, Rose Garnet & Citrine Rondelles, Labradorite Brio. and a beautiful Ruby for that dash of colour.
Trailing etched chains complete this Spring-looking floral sweetie, which is snuggled prettily between similar etched chains lightly sprinkled with smooth pink Tourmalines and a blue-flash Labradorite coin.

Delicate, girly, feminine & flirty ..... that's LILLYBETH.

Karin's Clay for (2010) Xmas gifts .....

The past 1-1/2 years or so have been pretty unproductive for me on the handcrafted side with so much of my time devoted to Tania's rehab. after her numerous operations.

During this time, of course, I've been hoarding Karin's clay beads, but managed to make a few pieces for Xmas. Friends and relatives who flew in for the Season, who had never seen Karin's gorgeous beads before, instantly fell in love with them and snapped them up for gifts.

With Karin's well-thought out colours, swirls, twirls and silver dust, not much additional enhancements were needed as their beauty speak for themselves. In all humility, I have to say that Belinda has done much more justice to these clay pretties than me (yes Madame Belinda ... I am your very ardent admirer ... heh heh) .... but there's nothing like people from other countries enjoying these clay beauties with fresh eyes. Haven't uploaded photos of a couple of other pieces, but will try to soon.
I hope this will make Karin very happy, and I have a few more orders for more pieces :) Thank you Karin !

ISABEL - Custom

Request for a Trillium ROSE Set with petite short chain, to which I've added green onyx and peridot rondelles, which meet in the middle with a single moonstone, followed by the trail of Trillium ROSE gemmies and enamelled/sterling silver Trillium flower. Closes with a Balinese Silver Toggle Clasp.
The earrings have been kept simple with matching rondelles & freshwater pearls, but without the Trillium flower charm, so that this set would be "in balance" when worn together.

Silver Pods Necklace

Remember the Balsam plants most of us had growing in our gardens and also in School? We had so much fun poking their ripened seed pods and watching them split open explosively, scattering their cute dark seeds everywhere.

These lovely Silver Artisan Hand-Coiled "Pods", in fine 925 silver transported me back to my fun childhood days when making this necklace, and I've added deep burgundy faceted Garnet rondelles reminiscent of the seeds, and sprinklings of creamy freshwater pearls along multiple silver chains.
A sweet, under-stated piece, that closes behind with a toggle clasp.
Made this necklace way back in May, and with everything that's going on here, was lucky enough to get my little model to help me out with this pix before she SIN left for her studies.

Chablis 2 - Custom Order

Custom request for a pair of "bunchy" grape cluster earrings, based on an earlier pair I sold a few months ago, which was petite & dainty as compared to this set.

A small topping of shaded faceted olive/moss coloured Vesuvenite & light to dark honey-toned Hessonite faceted rondelles set off these "grape bunches" loaded with lovely freshwater pearls.

14K Gold-filled Ear-hooks, wire-work.

Was in such a hurry this morning to get Tania to the pool, that I rushed the shot with my daughter (as the Princess was waiting eagerly in the car) and had to do the close-ups at the pool .....
