Roses are Red Charm Bracelet

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 05:02:00 -0400

$40.00
This reminded me of the Brother's Grimm story of Snow-White and Rose-Red when it was finished.

It's a lovely romantic bracelet made with vintage brass chain, ruby red Swarovski bicones, and creamy pearly Miyuki drops. The colours are very 'Renaissance' and sensual.

Red Cluster Charm Bracelet

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 05:02:00 -0400

$40.00
This is quite an unusual design in that I've created clusters of beads all the way around. It makes the bracelet look and feel very organic.

I've used vintage copper chain with ruby red Swarovski bicones, Miyuki beads in shades of red, red glass tear drop beads in various sizes, red crackle and dark red frosted glass beads, together with copper bead caps and a pretty swirly copper charm.

The perfect bracelet to cheer up the current fashion trend of black and white.

Early Autumn Charm Bracelet

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 05:02:00 -0400

$40.00
This is a lovely organic charm bracelet with honey coloured amber, rusty red carnelian, fresh water pearls in deep green and chocolate brown, and lovely Miyuki and Magatama drops in various shades of gold and topaz, with a few little Japanese seed beads mixed in, all strung on copper chain with copper findings and a lovely copper charm next to the clasp.

This reminds me of early Autumn with the sunlight all golden, leaves in all shades from golden to deep reds and a few green ones still left from the summer.

Thorny Rose Bag

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 05:02:00 -0400

$57.00
Don't worry, there aren't any real thorns, just knitted ones. :-)

The bag was knitted from 100% wool in a French navy blue and a lovely bright red and then felted to make it sturdy and soft and yummy.

One of the pictures shows the details of the bag:
The roses - each one has been hand knitted and then sewn onto the bag.

The closure slips over the centre rose to securely hold the bag closed.

The strap of the bag is lined with organza ribbon.
The bag itself is unlined but it has a little pocket inside that can hold a small purse, a phone or lipstick and mirror.

The bag can be held by the strap or you can put the strap over your shoulder. It's not a huge bag, but you can fit quite a lot inside.

Here are some rough measurements
=================================

Width: ca. 31cm (11.5")
Height: ca. 14cm (5.5")
Depth: ca. 4cm (1.5")

Strap length (at highest point): ca. 20cm (8")

Inside pocket
--------------

Width: ca. 15cm (6")
Height: ca. 7.5 (3")

Any questions, feel free to convo me.

Pink Funhouse Bag

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 05:02:00 -0400

$36.00
The bag has been knitted with 100% wool in a pale pink and trimmed with a variegated 100% wool yarn at the top. To make the bag sturdy it has been felted.

The rose at the front is a mix of the two yarns.

Knitted bobbles and ribs, and thread in the variegated yarn add texture and colour to the main body of the bag.

It closes with a little button on the inside and is unlined.

It's a fairly small bag, but perfect for a night out and definitely different from anything you might find on the high street.

Here are some rough measurements
================================

Height (excluding handle): ca. 16.5cm (6.5")
Width (at widest point): 30cm (12")

The Heirloom Poinsettia Shawl OOAK

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 05:02:00 -0400

$145.00
This is something really special for a very special occasion. In fact it is so special and unique that it should be wrapped up safely in a drawer to be lovingly taken out and stroked now and again until that one day when this shawl will make a special day even better - from an anniversary to a ball to a wedding... as long as it's a special day :-)

The main part of the shawl has been made from thick velvety viscose chenille that will keep you warm even in a cold church on Christmas Eve.

The butterfly and the fifteen flowers have been painstakingly needle felted from 100% merino wool. I have then used special beading thread in a matching green, Indian green luster beads and Japanese seed beads to attach them to the shrug.

The edging and fringe have been crocheted is my own design. I was going to use an Edwardian edging design but it went the wrong way round so I had to make my own pattern.

Note: This is a handmade, unique, one of a kind shawl. It's not something you find in a high street shop. The yarn and the felted wool are both of very good quality and the shawl will last a long time if you look after it.

Wash in hand warm water with a special wool washing powder/liquid and dry flat.
