One of my necklaces - has been featured in this gorgeous Etsy Treasury - Vacation Greece - by Szilvi Szabo - I think it captures the essence of Greece in the summer perfectly!

I have recently been working on making fabric dolls - I saw something similar on a website and thought I would have a go. This one is called Florence and she has a pink and grey tartan school outfit with a handmade leather satchel. All the clothes (and shoes) are handmade by me.
Florence I am working on a third one at the moment but I haven't decided on the outfit yet.

One of my favourite glass artists on Etsy is Naos Glass - I just love the subtle colours of this Indian Summer bead set.
These are large hole beads (5mm) so will fit a European Charm Bracelet. Definitely on my wish list!

Made some lovely new Pandora style bracelets last week. I recently sold one at a Craft Fair and was asked to make another one - so I just kept going and made some more. I have ordered some lovely new glass beads as well so I am looking forward to those arriving !

Pandora style bracelet in gold,pink and brown
I have used a large toggle clasp on these bracelets which not only looks good but makes it really easy to put on. They are all £20 -now available from Dezigne.

Some great new summer jewellery by Driftwood Beach is now available from Dezigne - perfect additions to your summer wardrobe !
Most of my jewellery is inspired by the ocean, the beach and the coastline so I love to use pebble shaped beads in natural materials such as wood and semi-precious stone. The wood twist beads I have used in the necklace above reminds me of driftwood -smooth to the touch and ever so slightly faded. The bright aqua ceramic ovals and dyed turquoise chips really contrast well with the wood.
I think the wood and jasper necklace has quite a designer look-I must admit I find it difficult to do asymetrical jewellery - it's far more difficult than it looks!
One of my favourite Etsy makers Lorelei Eurto gets it right every time!
I have recently been asked to make some bridal jewellery for a lady who is getting married in St Ives in Cornwall later this year -which is wonderful as St Ives is one of my favourite places and I am so pleased to have been asked to make this jewellery which will feature some gorgeous freshwater pearls.
