Latest works from me... think my button and beads fetish is coming to and end!

Firstly is an Autumn box and then a Fairies Jewellery box

This one I have called Waterfalls (on a natural wood slice)

These glass backed sun catchers are called Spring blossom, Summer love, Autumn falls and Winter magic. I have encorporated some buttons into two other mosaiced pieces which I must finish today. Watch this space....

Where does the time go???

I really must get round to updating this blog with my latest button and beads creations but I have been so busy in the run up to my first fair (this Sunday) that I really have not had time. All items are photographed I just need to get them loaded on to the computer. I will be doing this on Monday. In the meantime I shall carry on stressing about the fair. All the advertising etc is done. I am off out tomorrow putting road signs up and replacing in taken down posters. Then it's all systems go for Sunday. Fingers crossed for fine weather x

just like a bus-nothing for ages and then loads in one go!!!

Here is my latest project. I have spent lots of time, money and frustration on getting this piece right. No grout this time, but still coated so every little piece is firmly in place. This one is very tactile too, no sharp edges at all. My mum loves this as she says it's fascinating to look at with all the small parts.
Still can't get the photos right, the colour just has not come out very well, the buttons are all very vintage looking lilacs, the pink beads are a dusky rose and the dark beads are a very deep purple. Seems that the camera just doesn't like these shades!

and yes, some more!!!

and some more

At last something is finished!!

Well it has taken me ages but here at last are my latest works. The first two are something different, bead encrusted tealight candle holders. Have also finished another completely new item but have yet to photograph it....watch this space!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I know I'm a bit late saying this but time is just flying by!!!
Have been busy with mosaicing although nothing is finished yet. I have decided that I will make items all week and then spend one day just grouting. I have also been busy sorting out the Truly Crafted Craft Fairs for this year too.
Anyway, belated Happy 2010 and I hope it finds everyone well and happy and looking forward to a prosperous and healthy year ahead.
