Widgits!

Just discovered Etsy Mini... after all this time of staring at it wondering what it was. I'm such a dope! It's a wee widgit for putting your latest Etsy items on your blog. :) What fun.

New line of earrings

I finally received my much anticipated package from Earth2Sea supplies, yesterday.

Delighted, I made myself a pair of earrings. And then decided I really needed to make more. And more... :) So I've started another line of bead jewellery - simple petite gemstone earrings. I'm really enjoying working with gemstones again, so more to follow. (And I should mention they are really low prices. I may change this if I work out it's not viable, but it's about people wearing nice things at the moment.)

The first pair: copper and carnelian



























A Tiger Iron pair:

Space invaders at BBC

Oh my!

My space invader earrings are on the BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7200330.stm A little article about crafting online features my earrings as one of the pictures. Click on the "Open in pictures" link under the green fuzzy dude, my earrings are number 4 :)

Space Invasion

A few updates. I finished one couch cushion, and decided the white lining didin't work... so went out and bought some dark cushions to use as innards: but they looked so nice on the couch that I kept them 'as is'. So couch now has two dark red suede-y cushions, and one brown hand knitted cushion. Naturally Javi has decided the hand knitted cushion is for him, and has adopted it as another cat bed. Oh well.

I've been absolutely insane recently, making Space Invader Jewellery. This kind of thing:

I've sold a pair of earrings to an Adelaide bloke for his girlfriend, I'm hoping that more gamer geeks like me see them and like them. :) I've made a load more since this photo. I went into a space invader frenzy.















Have a look at a few pieces here if you like. :) pardalote.etsy.com

Aaaannnd.... much to the bemusement of those around me, I've started making mathematical jewellery pices too. I'm really happy with those, but haven't done any scanning yet, so photos to come. :)
