Ah, Christmas Eve!

Here is a view of my back yard this Christmas Eve morning…

My backyard

Jealous? It has been quite hot so far this summer, but the worst is yet to come – January is traditionally the hottest month. I have been busily crafting away these past few weeks, but I have only had the energy to list a few things on Etsy – so I thought I’d give you a peek at what I’ve been working on…

Current Projects

I made a whole stack of sea glass pendants when we were over on Moreton Island the other week -

Sea glass galore

I also made my first set of briolette wire-wrapped earrings a few weeks ago. They’re not perfect, but I like them, and I’ve worn them a few times. I even had a girl on the street comment as to how much she liked them, so that’s a good sign!

Briolette Wire-Wrapped Earrings

I’m still crocheting with wire, and yesterday I made this necklace. I  also bought a litte bit of bracelet memory wire and used the left over beads to make a matching bracelet!

More Crocheting with Wire

My newest experiment has been making simple pendants out of wire. I’m not sure about these, but I’ll keep experimenting and see if I can work out a good technique for them.

Wire Pendants

Well, I’m currently trying to type one-handed, as I’m enjoying an ice-cream from the corner store down the road! Mmmm, chocolate and ice-cream… and caramel

I shall bid you all adeau, and wish you all a happy and safe Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

Well, my NeckWraps have been really popular – I have sold all the ones I listed in my Epheriell Designs shop on Etsy!

So, I thought it was time for some more, and here they are… inspired by the season…

Summer Heat NeckWrap – made with glass leaves, copper wire, bamboo yarn and swarovski crystals

Cool Water NeckWrap – made with glass leaves, brass wire, and a gorgeous blended yarn

From now on, I’m planning to showcase many of my new creations here and on Flickr at least a day *before* I put them on Etsy.

So if you ever see something you really love, comment or contact me so I can make a reserved listing for you! That way you get it for sure I’ll probably be listing these tomorrow.

I’ve found a new passion! After seeing a ring made by a fellow crafter on Crafteroo.co.uk, I popped over to her blog, followed links to tutorials, got the general idea, and then got creative!

Thanks KittyB, for sharing!!

Here’s what I came up with…

First, a simple ring made with silver-plated wire and a square bead.

Then, I decided a sea glass and copper ring was in order. And so it was…

What do you think? I love the sea glass ring – I’m now planning to start making more and putting them in my etsy shop. Perhaps some brass and sterling silver ones, too?
