I'm sorry about the rain I didn't mean it!

Silver Wedding rings
I'm sorry everyone! I think I jinxed the weather, it's been a miserable extremely wet day after I was foolish enough to post on facebook yesterday

"It's July now, but in fairness June was pretty damn rainy! Fingers crossed for a sunny July!" With a link to this treasury Rain in June by TJ on etsy.

I should really know better by now!

So despite the fact that I have a load of new stuff I wanted to photo today and share, I've spent most of the day on the computer trying to avoid doing my inventory which I started this morning!

And what better way to avoid it then showing you some sneak peaks of new designs that will be popping up on my etsy shop over the next few days; fortunatly I got a few mins of sunlight last week ;)

A Bangle with balls! 



The first in a series of silhouette bracelets

And a new style of bunny ring.
And any cat lovers out there you might want to check out this puuuurfet Treasury Purrfect day by Cat Thomas on etsy.

And the more bohemian of you should check out Bohemian Summer by Michelle Thompson also on etsy.

All that glitters is gold


Well last week was a very big week for me! It was my first time working in Gold and oh it was fun! Even better it was a commission to make a pair of wedding rings for some good friends of mine. And I have to say it feels pretty fantastic that I made the rings that they’ll exchange. 

So here are some pictures of the process and the finished rings. They were made out of 14k yellow gold and if you’re after one or a pair they’re up and available on my etsy page 



This is what I started with, a strip of 14k gold 
It was then bent into a roughly ring shape and the piece sawed off

Small pieces of solder were placed along the joint and fire time!
Afterwards it doesn't look quite so pretty. 


Several hours later it's cleaned up, and the texture applied so it's shiny shiny gold :) 

And here's the matching his and her's set.
Of course they're bunny approved!

Love love love these earrings!


I’m sooo sooooo proud of theses earrings! You have no idea! I loooove them! These are hallmarked and ready to go. So tomorrow I have to make up another pair just for me to wear!
















Also got my glass cutter out recently, it's been far too long! And more glass items shall be unveiled soon, here’s a few to whet your appetite.



And I have my howling wolf one of my favourite designs back in stock and hallmarked! Sending off more hallmarking Tuesday next week so if you want anything done and hallmarked just let me know!
Hope you’re all well
Sarah and the bunnies







PS: Here’s some pics from the photo shoot yesterday and my nosey models. Apparently sticking your nose in my camera lens is the new best game ever! They had me rolling around laughing at them :)

Lots in the pipeline

I've been very quiet on here lately, not because I'm lazy, but because i have a lot of projects in the pipeline, all very exciting!

One has been getting ready for the launch last week, of this lovely new website Magpie Colours which are stocking quite a bit of my Jewellery. This is a new start up from two very lovely women based in England and is well worth a check out, give them a bit of time and they'll be mega!

I'm also working on some new designs and ideas and thankfully I haven't burnt the apt down yet....some close calls! More to follow as it develops, all a little hush hush now :)
Herculeus 

And of course I have been adding to my collection of constellation jewellery with some more random constellations, and as always if you have a favorite you'd like to see let me know!

I'm back, with a new shop and all :)


Missed my girls while I was away and they
were angry at me for leaving! But I think we're
 back on good terms now! 

Oh I had a lovely week off! I went back to Ireland for a family wedding (which was amazing) and got to meet up with lots of people both family and friends. I did miss my bench though! But hopped right back on when I got home on Tuesday, and it felt great! I have some lovely designs I’m waiting for a sunny day to photograph and show you guys, but given the crazy weather at the moment that could be a while!

I’ve also set up a brand new shop over on Art Fire, please check it out and let me know what you think and if you have heard good or bad things about the site, please pass them on!

And I just got a delivery so it’s too the bench I go!

Stamptastic!

Well I've been bold with my blog, no real surprise there, but I have been busy fine tuning my stamping skills and having a serious amount of fun doing it! Expect way more stamped items to follow! And as such I am looking for quotes and phrases that you would like to see and wear :) embrace the inner nerd/child/sap and let me know any ideas you have. 

And of course in Blue Peter fashion, here's some I made earlier; all up and available on my folksy and etsy shops



 
 
I'm getting very excited for the new Avengers Assemble movie!

Busy busy Bunny

Well I've been a busy busy bunny the last few weeks, and there are lots of new listings up on both my etsy and folksy shop for you to check out and lots more coming. I'm sending off a bunch of hallmarking tomorrow just getting that together now, and it's my biggest batch yet! Woohoo!

And I have a crazy bunny jumping around on the carpet behind my chair as I type...very distracting! Life is good! I hope everyone else is doing as well!

So without further ado here are some of the new designs that have just arrived to my shop and or will be arriving soon :)

Inspired by a Guinea Pig named Nibbles that got me thinking about my Guinea Pigs when I was a kid, I had a girl and boy Delilah and Samson and they had two litters, Hugie Douie and Louie and then a second bunch eney meany miney and mo, unfortunately mo died :( 

This week I learnt frogs are associated with fertility and life changes.

The Egyptians believed that seahorses carried the souls of the dead to the underworld
keeping them safe and protected along the way! Big ask for such small little creatures! 


See Cats and Dogs can get along! 


My models were not working today, they were on strike demanding more banana and broccoli.
