UK Handmade

Supporting and promoting the best UK artists, designers and makers

I'd love to see what everyone is producing. Why not show us what you are up to?
I'll start. I made these Temples of Siam Earrings today and I have to say that they were not easy and took an age to make.

Hello,

I have made these beads but can't think of a good name for them.....

Hello Sarah

Im useless at thinking up names but i must say they are absolutely beautiful!

 

hi there, here is my latest from today's creativity. http://folksy.com/items/3002330-Red-Fusion-2

 

 

 

I made two patchwork flag wall hangings for a window display for a jewellery exhibition by Equinox in Fleet (started yesterday and runs until 14 April).

The wall hangings are for sale at the end of the exhibition.

A long, warm, cosy snood

 

Mine is not so much a make as a find, as i'm loathed to turn it into jewellery. I thought it might interest a few of you as the terms "multi" and "End of day" can be confusing in seaglass jewellery, or collecting. This is the best photo i've taken of a phenomenon that i call flip flop, but there's probably a better term used in academia. Look at the photo, see anything strange? Look again, especially at the reflection...

Surely the green should be at the bottom of the reflected image? No it's no been photoshopped. It's in fact a white sea glass pebble, with a very fine streak of green running through it. Formed when waste glass was melted together into "Gobs" and thrown into the sea at Seaham, this pebble has been ground down and smoothed over 120 or more years, to achieve this amazing effect, then thrown back onto the beach. You're looking at a trick of the light. Reflected light makes whichever half is between the green stripe and your eye look fully green, even in reflection...

I think that's magic, and i don't really want to sell it, but i don't want to drill it later. See more pics on peblsrock.etsy.com, one of my shops.
