AJE July Component of the Month reveal

July was my turn to host AJE Component of the Month and I am so excited to see what every one has created!

What I came up with is quiet different to what I normally make, usually I try to make small delicate petite pieces, mostly because I am vertically challenged and anything big looks like I am a child trying to wear adult jewellery, but this time I threw caution to the wind and went with big and chunky!

I have brought myself a lazy daisy and have been playing around with viking knit and decided to use some in this piece....

It's very chunky, (well on me it is!) the viking knit is about 1cm thick and I have used one of my painted clasp with a pair of Kerri Fhur's lampwork beads.

So there you have what I came up with, now I do hope you will join me in hopping around to see what the other fab participants have created....

AJE Component of the Month - April Reveal

For April we had Rebekah's beautiful beads to work with. I utterly love these beads, the colour, the texture and the writing on the side is such a wonderful little detail!

(Rebekah's wonderful photo)

I got a stunning seawashed grey heart and knew straight away that I wanted to make a necklace with it.

I decided to put together a collection of prong and bezel set treasures that like the heart had alot of texture in them and here is what I came up with!

Purple lampwork bead, rough peridot, old Spanish coin, Rebekah's beautiful seawashed heart, wonderful lampwork by Genea Beads, rough amethyst and a tiny ammonite.

My photos do not show up the beautiful colours in this necklace that well, there is lots of purples, greens and browns!

A massive thank you to Rebekah for the stunning bead and if you would like to see more of Rebekah's amazing beads check shop Tree Wings Studio!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the other participants have made....
