Here are some things I made for Gracie’s pre school teachers…Sam, Natalie, Janet & Elena…we wanted to give them something special for christmas because they’ve been so important in G’s life and I’m sure in some ways they will continue to be! So I decided to make some beads with these lovely ladies in mind…then I put them in front of Gracie and asked her what she wanted me to do with them and here are the results!

They each got a keyring!

and also a bookmark each!

I hope they all love them !

Please excuse the pics, these were taken late at night in my kitchen   !

Thanks for looking

I recently (tonight) had a lovely lady ask me if I do Pandora beads…I get this question all the time. Its hard to answer because I don’t do the Pandora style beads that everyone else seems to be doing, I kinda like my beads a little more chunky, a little more in your face, a little more “hey, look at me”…not that there’s anything wrong with the whole Pandora Beads phenomenon, it’s just that they are so common right now and I like to do things differently you know? Will my chunky Zeus Beads catch on and become a phenomenon of their own…well only if people want something that is more “one off wearable art” sort of stuff, rather than what is in fashion!

So there you have it, these are my Zeus Beads….yep, they’ll fit a Pandora bracelet no problems and who knows maybe one day I’ll conform and start making what everyone else is making….mmm, nup!

much love

Just now, like about 2 minutes ago 3 new things went up!! Firstly we have The Lucky Dolphin, see her here, she is a beautiful bookmark with a lampwork glass bead that I made, it’s all swirly and ocean like so I thought I’d put the two together!

Secondly is Violetly Happy, see her here, now this can be either a keyring or a bag bling…both would look great…I have one on my keyring and it makes it easier to find my keys because it’s so colourful!

and last but certainly not least for tonight we have Devine…she’s a very proud bead and would make a great pendant…hopefully someone will take her home and make something beautful out of her! You can see her here.

That’s all from me tonight, stay tuned for more!

Have a look at these!  These slumped/melted bottles are so unusually awesome that they’d make the coolest christmas pressie!  They can be used for all sorts of things…spoon rests, cheese plates, serve fresh fruit on them, some yummy pate, a coaster…whatever your creative mind can come up with…and the perfect way to recycle! Check out a few here on my misc page.

Versatile aren’t they!

Thanks for lookin’
