It’s half past five and it’s still light. Hallelujah. It’s also been sunny - well, sort of - today, so I seized the opportunity to take some pictures. I made a couple of bracelets this week that I’ve been planning to make for a while. They were some time in the planning because I kept thinking of other things I needed to get to finish them. I spent a fair while looking for the perfect citrine for this bracelet:

(lampwork focal - Moogin; patinated brass toggle clasp - Abyjem; ceramic wheel - Slate Studios)

There was a time when I couldn’t really see the appeal of yellow stones. I’m dotty about them now. It’s a pretty luxe bracelet, all in all. I often avoid mixing together so many pricey materials, dreading to think what price I’ll have to put on them, but I decided to go to town with this bracelet. I took a similarly cavalier approach when making this one.

(ceramic hoops and chain links - Scorched Earth; lampwork beads - Glass Bead Art; ceramic round - Grubbi)

I’m really quite pleased with the way it turned out. And the photos are a lot better than a number I’ve taken recently. I’m nearly done with all my shop overhaul-ing, so it’s the last few days of the sale. To mark this, I’m now offering 30% off everything currently in stock. Just use the discount code FINALDAYS. Remember, some pieces will be going once the sale ends so if there’s something you’ve had your eye on, now really is the best time to bag it. Before I go, here’s a few more new pieces that will be available shortly:

(ceramic pendant - Gaea)

(polka dot beads - Bo Hulley)

(ceramic flower - Captured Moments)

It’s now half past six - I’ve spent a long time saying very little! Time I was off…
