Lovely Lavender Jade


I just adore these lavender dyed jade
 faceted rounds. 
They are such a gorgeous pastel colour.
Super girly and feminine. 
I teamed them with some fancy gold tone filigree
findings to make a sweet set of jewellery.
Of course no photoshoot is compete without 
feline 'assistance' and Miss Kitty had to come and 
get in on the action. 
She  brought kitten cuteness but destruction to 
my neat photographs.
 Her piece de resistance being  muddy paws 
all over my bedspread! 


No photoshoot is complete without a little kitten or a little  mud...

Pretty Wire Wrapping


Wire wrapping 
sounds like a hard activity. 
I imagined bruised hands grappling with the wire,
 strained wrists and pricked fingers. 
Thankfully the super thin sterling silver wire 
I used for this 
pendant was really nice and soft to work with. 
Practically no effort required! 
It bent around with an almost butter like 
consistency. 

I love it when I finish a jewellery project. 
For me it's the same joy as taking a freshly baked cake 
out of the oven, but the best thing is 
that jewellery treats 
come with zero calories!!
