Handmade Monday 9

Well I cant believe its been a week since the last Handmade Monday its gone very quickly anyway if you are new to my blog pop over to Unique Gifts and take a look at some fantastic blogs the link goes over to Unique Gifts who have just been to a fantastic craft fair which sounds like it was a big success
My week has been very busy I am attending a pamper evening tomorrow that I was invited to at a local school its to do with their prom coming up so I thought I would concentrate on my Fresh water Pearls
This was the First thing I made unfortunately my market manager decided she loved it so much she was taking it to the markets AGMto show it offYayyyy
 This one is Fresh Water Pearls with Turquoise
 This one is fresh Water Pearls with Swarovski Crystals
Pearls again with Rose Quartz
A few beaded items
Double rowed Pearl bracelet with a magnetic clasp
An extra bracelet
I also did a lot of very plain bracelets which I am going to display in a huge shiny shell so I was very pleased and enjoyed making them all
Another great thing that happened was even though our market was really quiet I managed to sell my geisha cushion that I made last week, a pair of earrings and an encaustic notebook that was a result because as it was lovely weather not a lot of people attended
Spent a little time in the garden too with my camera and got this great shot of my daffodils
A real sense of spring
I am also really looking forward to tomorrow I am showing my customer my latest commision shes only seen a photo but its mounted and looks great so I hope she likes it here it is unmounted
Ok so thats my week I hope you all enjoy all the extra blogs on Handmade Monday see you next week xxx

  10. What a busy person you have been. It's no wonder the first pearl necklace was taken from you before you reached the sale, it's beautiful.

  16. Love all the pearl but the one I like best is the one with torquoise. Your picture is amazing.I couldn't decide whether it had been painted or had been done with silk material but I see from a comment above that it is indeed painted.
