The necklace is made using some good old watch parts - all still working so it looks really cool when you wind it up and let it go. I have also added some metal embellishments, a great silver glass leaf round pendant and I decided to make a silver bugle bead chain to hang it from. Rather than use jump rings I wanted to have a bit of an earthy look by attaching the two together with copper wire... great to wear and I have been astonished by the comments of people when they see it..... I will be back soon I promise as I have made a shed load of stuff to show and that is for sale as well!!.....DF - Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426024657137119501noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320347815538805073.post-85167903319339527542010-03-29T21:03:00.000+01:002010-03-29T21:03:21.656+01:00a couple of necklaces<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwiG_dl8fjBuIizC_vbiQatmlli-_abISJdeuvFKSE80CW2Tfb7lfsYnkTeEQHmAIwzGz6m1BSDG7PZxCcDGNDMZsj07i9cuGhRD_20N-hNOLWSrOxslqrBrXBgLCQhesXMVGmcdvZgrc/s1600/march+2010+018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwiG_dl8fjBuIizC_vbiQatmlli-_abISJdeuvFKSE80CW2Tfb7lfsYnkTeEQHmAIwzGz6m1BSDG7PZxCcDGNDMZsj07i9cuGhRD_20N-hNOLWSrOxslqrBrXBgLCQhesXMVGmcdvZgrc/s200/march+2010+018.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgds4Fp3RsTxzIE5AKu8_nWojDRSjIHhkR_B9lmAaZl4IXlE2Y1OpRnIgDPkKKPPlwRHSmrF4HhfuVH-C3qhCn_VGQDJokQ1ngJe_Nk_wIh_quKGp8y2KqqXdfmsakDMGy2l2I5O2F6Mww/s1600/march+2010+016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgds4Fp3RsTxzIE5AKu8_nWojDRSjIHhkR_B9lmAaZl4IXlE2Y1OpRnIgDPkKKPPlwRHSmrF4HhfuVH-C3qhCn_VGQDJokQ1ngJe_Nk_wIh_quKGp8y2KqqXdfmsakDMGy2l2I5O2F6Mww/s200/march+2010+016.jpg" width="125" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzkyXAbt1AilNRY_rlpGOQTyIKh4aEwQYeD8ACZZjgLv27l2BpFrmeWbkB9SNkCS6_LjBmqgmW2D5X_kKid0IRo-WOyvvpgmySy5mrXbsHJxlPckGFQ7tAwb7XIFh26fBTcPYq70UM8mk/s1600/march+2010+014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzkyXAbt1AilNRY_rlpGOQTyIKh4aEwQYeD8ACZZjgLv27l2BpFrmeWbkB9SNkCS6_LjBmqgmW2D5X_kKid0IRo-WOyvvpgmySy5mrXbsHJxlPckGFQ7tAwb7XIFh26fBTcPYq70UM8mk/s200/march+2010+014.jpg" width="146" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDSaJidkt67jCbzb13wWgTKzLS155zZn30NfWUDiS2WhwMjHWnusOtJA1xI1FHAB8AF7FYY75Qur4t7j-6sJUuJQPytD7bunSkN0bsiINfrweu5DuOY5th6xh4fYweoSRxWxq38VWQQY8/s1600/march+2010+004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDSaJidkt67jCbzb13wWgTKzLS155zZn30NfWUDiS2WhwMjHWnusOtJA1xI1FHAB8AF7FYY75Qur4t7j-6sJUuJQPytD7bunSkN0bsiINfrweu5DuOY5th6xh4fYweoSRxWxq38VWQQY8/s200/march+2010+004.jpg" width="161" /></a></div><br />

Ok so I have been playing with some pure silver, beads, glass, some of the silk "paper" that I have made, some shell, tibetan silver bits, also some s.silver, add it all together and this is what I have come up with.... i tried various different "chains" as i did feel it lead itself to being able to be "hung" differently and it really does make a difference I think to the finished look and when and where you would wear itDF - Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426024657137119501noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320347815538805073.post-22863075750442682052010-03-21T21:25:00.004+00:002010-03-21T21:33:13.637+00:00some silver<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">this is a ring!!! i know very obvious - made for my thumb - basic ring with texture stamped into it, made from sterling silver not art clay. scrolls also made from silver then soldered on, and off course aged with liver of sulpher!!</span><br />

Attached a mirror to some hardboard and then decorated with the caly tiles I made, and grouted and rubbed and buffed, not the greatest photograph but I am pleased with the effect. But once the clay was out I couldnt resist making another mirror with the clays and my stamps. Now just need to work out where to hang it as I have sold one of them!!!<br />

I have also been making felt in all sorts of colours and have used this as the base for the cuffs, and again made in all sorts of colours. I have stitched all the layers together and then added other textures of material - ribbons and "stuff" then added fresh water pearls which I seem to have in abundance, and which i prefer as they provide anything but a uniform shape. i have used some uniform "round" pearls as well. Also added lots of silver items some brought and some made, also glass and various crystals. all in all u think they look quite effective....well I like them anyway. I plan on doing lots more with the silks and wool, making lots more paper/material to incorporate into my crafts as you can add all sorts into the process such as metals, natural items such a leaves, threads etc the options are endless. I have also been making some pure silver buttons so i plan on using them as the clasps and of course I may blog it all soon...when I get time to get sorted with some photos. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJX0HdDmmZGEfCkykM_3jXQd2MryBiVs-buS2tNlJRsNghAUHH18VTGA1j51moVnnjM_Gpdg29aoielTkgexD9bkHz_7CR8boOsRiBfsPvoGYg2SkjAaba7hufGJ16jbBtkmv3qWZCmS4/s1600-h/feb2010+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="123" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJX0HdDmmZGEfCkykM_3jXQd2MryBiVs-buS2tNlJRsNghAUHH18VTGA1j51moVnnjM_Gpdg29aoielTkgexD9bkHz_7CR8boOsRiBfsPvoGYg2SkjAaba7hufGJ16jbBtkmv3qWZCmS4/s200/feb2010+002.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDfO-x_1VhR7VNjPKakzbwacizEmTPfNzJLmzPHczNBZKY59cRpHuVNwUvpTSjPU_fR9a9J_NckQlVVK4kyhk1c67o9WJm7m0WpexlgSKAgPExjvuTyB6OLZb929UCNxo7YBR2kvMvdA/s1600-h/feb2010+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="125" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDfO-x_1VhR7VNjPKakzbwacizEmTPfNzJLmzPHczNBZKY59cRpHuVNwUvpTSjPU_fR9a9J_NckQlVVK4kyhk1c67o9WJm7m0WpexlgSKAgPExjvuTyB6OLZb929UCNxo7YBR2kvMvdA/s200/feb2010+007.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>DF - Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426024657137119501noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320347815538805073.post-17835258084238813352010-01-05T10:10:00.002+00:002010-01-05T13:18:53.377+00:002010......and so to 2010 and what it will bring. I am sure more learning and creativity which is always good. As for 2009 which I am so pleased is now been and gone I have learnt to listen more to my inner self as sadly the people who are “a wolf in sheep clothing” can be dishonest and sadly spiteful, but hey its people like that as they say “what goes around comes around”. And so in 2010 I am going to spend more time with real friends not the fair weather ones that pass by and take what they want and not contribute anything. <br />
In 2010 I intend on drawing up a grand master plan, prepare the ground work, have a backup plan and be ready to deal with the problems as they arise, which I am sure some will come along, failing all that just have some fun and create lots.<br />
Life is for living, loving, learning and sharing with the ones that matter, so hopefully I will at least get some of that done, and oh yeah take my nephews to see Mickey in Orlando…well its me that wants to go really ;0)…..so good luck to all in 2010 and have some fun it can’t all be work work work.DF - Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426024657137119501noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320347815538805073.post-69544827042337269722009-12-17T12:17:00.001+00:002010-01-01T12:25:47.694+00:00Forgot...something totally different<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu3zRKBykFjO1O-Fg9Z1CwkRq0vTSLT2YYS286BWRf9e-61Vv3bO8hszBuoHDUla8EcPm0GmVe75YeRp2Vdbtt11BfXAHbLjDYAYrVeLWHC_aXsEnFYMX6nEJy3283sfDVkoXXURNqSBI/s1600-h/Dec09+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu3zRKBykFjO1O-Fg9Z1CwkRq0vTSLT2YYS286BWRf9e-61Vv3bO8hszBuoHDUla8EcPm0GmVe75YeRp2Vdbtt11BfXAHbLjDYAYrVeLWHC_aXsEnFYMX6nEJy3283sfDVkoXXURNqSBI/s200/Dec09+009.jpg" /></a><br />

I needed an excuse to play with my silver clay for some practice, as I have 4 workshops booked in the coming weeks and also I wanted to try some new techniques. The square pendant has no centre, the items were added between the back and front panel/layer, which took an age to make with lots of breakages!!! along the way. My greatest friend who is an utterly awesome salsa dancer inspired the lady to the left, it was also a move on from a previous “lady” I had made, just thought I would take this one stage further. It doesn’t photograph very well, but it does look pretty cool in the flesh, her dress does have a lot of texture and movement<br />

Need to practice lots more, so may be back with some more bits later!!!!DF - Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426024657137119501noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320347815538805073.post-40634846491440803832009-11-25T13:42:00.001+00:002009-11-25T13:45:36.527+00:00commissioned xmas gifts<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSIol7o9fVYWN9o6UMlim9DA39Gn4aqKW750Wj5IaCdn0qgKCtM-_rUhOWTT3-xmCWqC579h6nYnxD2Uw6m6XGmRvDvYmWjBEmE3-jdTIhh8UxuKPE1uJvxoCuFq_LS9TwOU4rthGDs94/s1600/nov+08+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSIol7o9fVYWN9o6UMlim9DA39Gn4aqKW750Wj5IaCdn0qgKCtM-_rUhOWTT3-xmCWqC579h6nYnxD2Uw6m6XGmRvDvYmWjBEmE3-jdTIhh8UxuKPE1uJvxoCuFq_LS9TwOU4rthGDs94/s200/nov+08+002.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div>This is a sterling silver piece that I have been commissioned to make for an xmas gifts. The stone is a moon stone, set in a silver bezel. I based it on evening fairies dancing around the moon. The pendant has been reticulated and small silver balls made and soldered on. The mesh is also sterling silver. The fairy is also silver, but I have "aged" her to give the piece depthDF - Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426024657137119501noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320347815538805073.post-50375384896614504392009-09-05T14:42:00.002+01:002009-10-12T16:10:18.992+01:00garden goddess bracelet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0xkPHNKYBgYbNPTCF9Ai_wN89ddVlJZEBNONy_QHD8jau4GhRBk6c6enOv17MwtjGicH5XiPMs-oeDXYdNCBSKbQ4i4K0qWbSbVDxCAfTDl4VcBUliVR_faUEwe8VhjUt1EEhN_vRkO8/s1600-h/Sept+09+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img $r="true" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0xkPHNKYBgYbNPTCF9Ai_wN89ddVlJZEBNONy_QHD8jau4GhRBk6c6enOv17MwtjGicH5XiPMs-oeDXYdNCBSKbQ4i4K0qWbSbVDxCAfTDl4VcBUliVR_faUEwe8VhjUt1EEhN_vRkO8/s200/Sept+09+007.jpg" /></a><br />

I am 3 weeks into making my first "real" silver ring, from a sheet of sterling silver. I managed to hold off for a whole two weeks before feeling the need to buy all the tools and gadgets for silversmithing, but suddenly found myself online. I will post the silver ring once it is complete, I am hoping to finish the setting the stone this week. The ring is complete and the bezel that I am setting the stone is done - all by hand from a sheet of silver - so exciting.<br />Well all my tools turned up, and some sheets of silver as well, so it would have been rude not to have a play. The pendant to the left I have started, and was cut,bent and shaped out of a sheet of silver. I am not sure it is finished as yet, i'll wear it this week and see how I feel, and then decide if I want to add more. I have a zillion and one ideas of where i want to go with this, just need to find the time to finish ones started, let alone start any new projects.DF - Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426024657137119501noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320347815538805073.post-54139022241691106332009-01-15T23:32:00.004+00:002009-10-12T13:45:39.716+01:00Your Chance to win<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_egR2NJBD_FlwfmT4fEy1VVWPSDtuFXxJrLgdksDflfhVz1j9ch1yiB086ebgHViJzzyQwXOimIyFM7lzLdPeTiZEWveyu9xVuKkktoaEbN1Fv0aML-29tG9l1dbNxeiDcH0d61EAazo/s1600-h/cs090201.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291670140201133650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 123px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_egR2NJBD_FlwfmT4fEy1VVWPSDtuFXxJrLgdksDflfhVz1j9ch1yiB086ebgHViJzzyQwXOimIyFM7lzLdPeTiZEWveyu9xVuKkktoaEbN1Fv0aML-29tG9l1dbNxeiDcH0d61EAazo/s200/cs090201.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Have your brought you copy of "The Craft Stamper", if not get to the shops pretty quick or get to a online supplier and order your copy.

If your out this way you have just got to go visit their store, i know they are as good with on line supplies, but its so much nicer to go touch and see things before you buy them, but be warned each visits cost's a fortune as you come out with more than you had gone in for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">haha</span> but well worth the effort and money spent.<br /><br />Anyways here's a wee look using video and a photo, the video shows it slightly better than photos.

I have also been busy making the Christmas cards which drive me nuts each year - sent the ones overseas in time to catch the last posting, but am now £20 lighter, but don't ask how much<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCCQK59bHD4uYtl-DUGEC24hIjz2KmG_eC3Pu2d5tDbKzdzmm3k3GQkZNsXg2rKBlY2TIL_HPk-MYkZY14KRD1xnMs8Zg2oPdw8_7TWxa5J8ziAuRuBOc4d5Spsaeh3je9gP-ZoPzbdqo/s1600-h/oct08+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277554027206393298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 123px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 164px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCCQK59bHD4uYtl-DUGEC24hIjz2KmG_eC3Pu2d5tDbKzdzmm3k3GQkZNsXg2rKBlY2TIL_HPk-MYkZY14KRD1xnMs8Zg2oPdw8_7TWxa5J8ziAuRuBOc4d5Spsaeh3je9gP-ZoPzbdqo/s200/oct08+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> it cost for posting the parcels - i keep looking at the receipt and feeling faint!!!</span></span><br /><br />OK so what have I been up to - I made a retirement card, i thought i would play around with some metal and clay - used the cuttlebug folder onto the metal then added the clay birds attached to my fav background of all time - acrylic paint burnt to an inch of its life and then rubbed with metallic rub on's and jobs done<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4KoJ8RphosU0rtmiHGHWYqQz25PAhkHsrZ4BnKiAMfiylgdm7bJdGQxFZQYwBrY4R7pGPmDmTtF6KY6DfzFgorM0qxzqi54bMHfNX_EngC2W7e_G9PVO_ZYx3WAh7jnm1qe3xLIt-SjA/s1600-h/nov08+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277554030086749970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 152px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4KoJ8RphosU0rtmiHGHWYqQz25PAhkHsrZ4BnKiAMfiylgdm7bJdGQxFZQYwBrY4R7pGPmDmTtF6KY6DfzFgorM0qxzqi54bMHfNX_EngC2W7e_G9PVO_ZYx3WAh7jnm1qe3xLIt-SjA/s200/nov08+008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />For a friends birthday - well shes not into arty farty tat at all so she is quite difficult to make stuff for as she is quite a fluffy person as well, also she has no end of bits of jewellery so thought i had better do something different. So in the end i went with this diary. It was a a plan brown hard back book diary that was inked to death and a few stamps, then windows cut out and ladies stamped inside for a bit of a girlie thing going on, then used diamond glaze to seal them. Then got my new fav item out premo clay and made a couple of "things" to attach and the bottom one with a written quote which was very appt. Well i took my friend out to dinner and she insisted on taking it with her to open at the restaurant - well she was chuffed to bits with it - but I was even more so when the waitress made the comment that she loved it and wanted to know where she could buy one from i rather blushed lol<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRwVC_vcAtkS38H6_x1yARuh8sSPiL5E_YH2sj4XlnZkZ8r4fQxtv7jyOxaTvqpcDrVCNn1npfSeJo7fz5UUnIV6U2EeimvWIDRMdXFhtoyoBnch3oiI7KZZxQCPx0zYcwwntdijHgrTk/s1600-h/nov08+017.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277554041768635554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 154px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRwVC_vcAtkS38H6_x1yARuh8sSPiL5E_YH2sj4XlnZkZ8r4fQxtv7jyOxaTvqpcDrVCNn1npfSeJo7fz5UUnIV6U2EeimvWIDRMdXFhtoyoBnch3oiI7KZZxQCPx0zYcwwntdijHgrTk/s200/nov08+017.jpg" border="0" /></a>Well the last thing I will blog for the mo is a wee clock that I have just hacked together - Its for a male friend to hang in his "man shed" where he mends anything that he has taken to bits. He had admired all my metal bits and bobs and showed an interest (or pretended too) - so i thought as he is quite difficult to buy something for I thought he may like something in metal<br /><br />Well I had planned in just having a stand alone metal clock - but decided that even with the idea i had of building up layers that it would not be heavy enough, so in the end I decided to cover a piece of hardboard about A4 and a half in metal completely. Of course i used every ten second studio item that i had and then some more stuff, basically went to town on it. I then used the timmie inks and some paints using the peasant paint from <a href="http://www.lbcrafts.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">lins shop</span> </a>which really makes a difference to the paint sticking. Then heated it, added some utee and also diamond glaze and finally some crackle glaze. Well if he doesn't like it I'll take some beer as back up lol<br /><span style="color:#ffff00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">P.S I haven't forgotton about "can you guess what it is yet" project, well its just that it has taken a wee back seat for the mo - should be finished in the next two weeks ;0) but it is looking pretty good at the moment</span>DF - Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426024657137119501noreply@blogger.com3
