Look what I've made!

So for those of you who remember, I started making leather birds and hinted at making something pretty with them, well I hope you agree that this is something pretty!

Necklace with green glass bead heart, burgundy leather bird, and fuchsia pink flower

Necklace laid out to show antique bronze colour chain necklace.

I really loved making this, getting the colour combinations right and to choose the right shapes and styles to make it look just 'right' to me.  It's in the shop now if you fancy it and there should be some more by the end of the week, I'm really having a good run of ideas and just need the time to get them all done!  Longer weekends anyone?

My apologies to those of you who prefer to read about sewing exploits and I am aware that lately I've only posted about putting things in the shop but this was a resolution of mine from last year to get a shop up and running.  I feel that I didn't get off to a good start with it and feel I really want to give it my all so that I can make a proper go of it.  It's also because it's lighter work than sewing so is easier for my arms as don't want to push myself too hard too fast, although my treatment went well yesterday and find my arm is so so so much better but don't want to jinx it!

Thanks for understanding.

  11. Ooh, lovely colours! Is the flower made of little beads? It looks a lot like a hydrangea.
    I've not been reading blogs much recently so I missed your poor arm drama. I'm glad you're up to crafting now and I'm sure Vitamin C(cake) will fix you right up :D

  12. The petals are shell and the middle is made of little beads. It does look like a hydrangea, hadn't thought of that before!

    Vitamin c(ake) is very vital you know! ;) Should be on prescription!
