....anyone know??? i want to be out in the sun playing with my poi!!! :( (throwing toys out of my pram in ten, nine, eight.....)

i made some new additions to my etsy page yesterday for the first time in ages.....

this is my favourite...

i put it on an extra long chain so it sits nice and low, perfect for summer outfits, we wouldn't want jewellery that causes tan lines now would we!


another swallow necklace i know i know!!! i'm not a one trick pony it was a custom piece, i was really pleased with this necklace, it looks really elegant on,

i made a guitar pick necklace for a good friend of mine for his birthday, (happy unbirthday alex!) and i was so pleased with it i decided to add it to my etsy shop, obviously each one will be customised with the purchasers choice of script.

I am currently working on a cameo style pendant, this is as far as i have got so far, i am hunting for a gorgeous piece of wood to mount it on, i think it would be an interesting effect, i am also toying with the idea of using lace, in fact in the near future you may be seeing rather a lot of lace featured in my jewellery, exciting times!

I shall leave you with some pictures of fun times and new ventures....

funky all the way home.......

..... anyone else heard Marmeduke duke's new album? it is amazing, the perfect tunes to bring summer in with - the kind that make you walk with a bounce.



So, I have just been updating my etsy page, getting that up and running again and i have also ventured onto ebay and have some necklaces for sale on there. I thought I might as well give it a go and see what happens.

I have only put up some 'forget me not' and 'love bird' necklaces at the moment as they have been really popular, but if they sell relatively well i will try putting more pieces on there. As well as lots of awesome nights out, time at stanstead psychic college and getting tattoo'd I have been busy making up my portfolio ready for me to bite the bullet and go into some shops to see if they will stock some of my pieces, eek i'm pretty much ready for it all i need is a few large vodkas first........

even more busy times coming up though so i'm having to be super efficient with my free time, i have glastonbury soon!!!!! then the day after i return from tat its off to turkey for 15 days, and following that budapest for a more cultural experience.

this is going to be a great summer, i can feel it in my bones ......

remember that girl........

...........who changed your world some time ago .............................

so, i'm back. The past few months have brought many changes for me, all good, but also pretty difficult too, i have achieved things which i didn't think i had it in me to do. I've kind of rediscovered myself , reconnected with things i thought i had lost, people i had neglected and i now see a world of possibilities where before i just saw nothing.

............its all good.................

i am in the process of moving again for the 3rd time in five months, i think this new place will keep me happy for a while. The best thing is there is room for my jewellery bench inside so i am expecting to be waaayyy more productive!!! I have so many ideas waiting to become a reality, this place also has a BATH!!!!!!!!!

these necklaces are versions of the original swallow 'forget me not' necklace i did a while back, i made more as i had some requests and they are actually some of my favourite pieces i have made.

this is my epic ring (epic as it was such a long project and its also so huge!) its oxidised silver with an amethyst set in the middle, its also known as a knuckle duster to some of my friends, it comes with a warning!!!!



and this is a dogtag i made for my puppy, yes it is silver but hey my puppy deserves only the best!!!!

i got tickets for my first ever festival this summer, im so excited!!!!!! then two days after i get back i'm off to a sunny getaway for 16 days,

a kiss from a fist is better than none ............

MIA for a little longer, please bear with me ......................

winter is here :...(

......dammit!

so i have been a bit MIA lately, but things are looking up - i have been experimenting and putting some ideas into action - with some interesting results.

I have jumped on the letter punching bandwagon, it's so much quicker than engraving - and as much as i love engraving letter punching is genius in its own way,

these are two silver stacking rings, in a matt finish, one says 'i am yours' and the second ' you are why i am' nice and romantic! i was going to hide the words inside but on these i decided to put them out there for the world to see, wearing your heart on your sleeve and all that jazz!

as you can see my photography is still lacking - i have my lightbox now but i cant make it bright enough!!! ironic isn't it!here is my first attempt at stone setting - amethyst earrings i am so pleased with the results!

and here is a cute little kitty necklace made for a friend as a thankyou for sorting out a website for me - yep thats right i will soon have a proper website!!!!!
anyhow, remember my competition is still running until the 8th november, so check out my older posts for details, its well worth entering the prize is pretty awesome!

grey's anatomy.............

I thought i would experiment this week as I have had very limited sales on etsy :( I decided to put a couple of items on ebay (you can find them by clicking advanced search, seller, katherina1984)I love etsy and would not dream of leaving, I just thought it would be wise to explore avenues as well. So fingers crossed!! oh and i do ship internationally :)

so, the above items are on ebay and my love meter pendant featured in my last blog.

ok so i lied.......

.................i changed my mind about my new etsy listing for today,

i decided to go for the 'forget me not' necklace, i though this wednesday could do with some love adding to it, and this is my offering.

its a silver toned 'forget me not' pendant between two gorgeous swallows, with some beading to add a bit of prettiness. Its a romantic piece i see worn by a 1920's lady wearing in a cream chiffon and lace dress reading love poems sitting under a tree, thats how i picture it anyway.

My lightbox should arrive in the next two days so expect my pictures to magically turn professional!!!! (i wish!)
