Your Makes Revealed!

A couple of weeks ago I asked you guys to show us what you've been making and I wasn't disappointed....I was really impressed with every one of your creations! I was surprised at the range of different techniques that were sent in too, from amazingly creative and intricate wire work to super detailed seed beaded designs.

It was really hard to pick a winning design but after much deliberation, we decided the little Miyuki seed bead stash and reel of Fireline thread is making it's way to Lyn Etherington for her beautiful 'Starburst Pendant'. Created with faceted red fire polished crystals, Duracoat Seed beads, Swarovski crystal bicones and a sparkling Swarovski Montee in the centre...this necklace is a show stopper.

Well done to you Lyn! We'll be in touch for your postage details. If you want to see more of Lyn's beautiful jewellery creations, head on over to her Facebook page Nitesnook Creations.

Here's a look at the rest of the wonderful entries....

Beautiful wire work by Samantha Jane Jackson, created from a Nicole Hannah tutorial. Samantha has used Gold and copper wires with Semi-Precious amethyst drops to add a splash of contrasting Colour. Check out Samantha's Facebook page Twisted Elements.

For a first attempt at seed beading, I would say this beautiful monochrome necklace made by Christine Hastie is a massive success. It looks look like you've been beading for years Christine! 

These two beautiful jewellery sets were sent in by Sandra Hanagan of Sandy Nan's Creations and feature metallic Purple bicones, AB Swarovski crystals, galvanized Miyuki seed beads, glass Pearls, and lustrous pip beads. 

This amazingly unique 'Rocket & Space Necklace' was created by Debbie Frost using Silver wire, faceted Glass Beads, seed beads, and handmade lampwork beads made by Debbie and her daughter...fantastic! To see more of Debbie's fun designs, visit The Frosted Pendant on Facebook.  

I was wowed by this stunning bead embroidered bracelet by the talented Thomas Davis who's only been beading for 2 years after becoming a carer. At the age of 64, he is now having an exhibition of his work at Bassetlaw Museum in Nottinghamshire with any proceeds going to a local mental health charity. Amazing work Thomas!

Here's some seriously intricate wirework by Shirley Harris of Tinkz Treasures. A semi-precious amethyst cabochon has been wrapped in bright silver wire in multiple gauges creating a beautiful swirl pattern. 

This cute 'Turquoise Temptress' necklace and earring set was created by Dawn Lynch. I love the pretty glass Heart pendant and chunky turquoise beads. You'll find more of Dawn's colourful designs on her Facebook page Dawn's Little Delights.  

A really classy Kumihimo necklace and bracelet set here by Penny Tempest using seed beads in earthy colours and elegant Antique gold Findings. 

Black and White seed beads have been used to create this detailed lace collar necklace and earring set by Katrina Mears. This would look amazing with occasion or evening wear. Beautiful work Katrina. 

Lesley Drane of Gemsations creates wonderful gem trees with silver wire and an array of semi-precious stones as well as sparkling Swarovski crystal bicones. 

I love this wire work ring with African turquoise gemstones adorning the centre. It's so creative, unique and very wearable. Check out Karolin's Instagram account The Brightest Star Jewellery to see more of her gorgeous designs. 

Beautiful tubular netted necklace by Linda Mueller above with red marcasite, pearls, galvanized seed beads and a stunning ornate leaf toggle Clasp. I find this tubular bead weaving technique always produces show stopping desings; it really is worth the time put in. Gorgeous work Linda! Visit Ted Barker Jewellery Designs on Facebook to see more of Linda's work. 

Finally, this fabulous beaded kilt pin brooch was sent in by Wendy Pusey. Wendy has used a mixture of pearlescent seed beads, glass beads, crystal bicones and cute little silver charms to complete this lovely accessory.

Thank you so much to you all for taking the time to send in your fantastic jewellery designs. I look forward to seeing more of your future makes....keep beading!
