Easter egg nest pendant necklace.

2012-04-05T06:42:00.003+01:00

Linda Jones' blog, www.wireworkersguild.com gives detailed projects on a regular basis. Linda made me one of her featured artists last month, so I'm feeling very inspired. On her blog you will see how to make this Easter nest as a ring, but also as pendant. Here is my effort. Copper brown freshwater pearls with pale green crystals.

I think I might put this onto my website www.portias-crafts.co.uk for sale at £15 (free post)

Copper wire and aventurine bracelet

2012-04-05T06:37:00.001+01:00

Have been trying our copper wire for the first time. So far, I've made a lot of scrap metal and this bracelet and necklace. I think the chips in the bracelet are adventurine. I'm open to offers on this one as its a first effort.

Newly painted canal ware for 2012

2012-03-16T09:45:00.000Z

Just finished painting a load of pots, buckets and all sorts of other things for the coming cruising season on the canals. Its traditional canal ware, but done in my own particular style. Looking at it, you wouldn't think I consider this minimalist would you.

Turquoise and Silver Dragonfly

2012-02-17T08:03:00.001Z

Turquoise and Silver Dragonfly.

Size is 12x6cm but they can be made in any size and any colour.

They are on the wesite and, if you're quick, they are on Ebay at a bargain price from seller 'getitoffpat'

Special Edition Spider

2012-02-15T17:59:00.001Z

Her name is Precious. Pink, purple and silver, she is quite large. The body is a pearly purple plastic bead, the head is a purple crystal and as you can see the legs are made up of pink pearls, purple crystals and tiny bright pink seed beads with silver bugles. Don't worry if you don't like her in these colours, I can make any combination of colours.

A Spider Brooch. It measures 7 x 4cm and it sits on a silver tone brooch pin. The body is a blue/black bead with black rainbow crystals in the legs. Would look great on a coat or jacket. If you fancy buying it, go to www.portias-crafts.co.uk.

Emerald Dragonfly

2012-02-08T06:03:00.001Z

A pretty little emerald and gold dragonfly for sale at www.portias-crafts.co.uk. Really catches the light when hung in a window. I slightly reduced the size of my dragonflies now to 6x6cm, but increased the number of crystals. I think it looks better, don't you? Have a look at the website and compare them.

Terrapot

Nothing to do with 'terror', not a bit scary.

The handmade body simply resembles terracotta and this spider quite likes to hang out in a flower pot.

For sale on the website.

Evergreen Moth

2011-12-29T15:39:00.002Z

Just landed on the website - you'll find her with the dragonflies.

Bing Ling

2011-12-29T07:17:00.001Z

A marbled stone green spider. Sit her in your plant pot, she'll blend in beautifully, but is equally happy showing off in a window.

Chinese Dragon Spider

2011-12-28T13:32:00.000Z

This carved bead has a dragon all the way round it. I bought this at the same time as the Chinese spider bead. I've used gold coloured crystals, orange seed beads and black bugles for her legs, but any combination of coloures is possible, ie gold legs and black knees.

Crystal and Pearl Headband

Chinese Character Spider

2011-12-27T07:04:00.000Z

I bought this bead on a recent holiday in China. We were wandering round a street market in Langzhou and saw an old man selling bits and pieces on the pavement. He had them all spread out on a square of cloth and I spotted this in a bracelet. I've got two sizes, this is the larger body. Its for sale on the website, but be quick as the larger beads are selling fast.

Purple Crystal Butterfly

2011-12-26T16:53:00.000Z

This butterfly and the others on the website measure approx 7cm x 7cm.

Pretty little decorations, they have loops on the underside so they can also be mounted on a florist wire to add to floral arrangements.
