Pretty in Pink

Yes, yes, alright, I know what you are going to say, this is a soap blog, so whats more jewellery doing on here? Thing is, I can do this sort of thing in the evening, sitting in the family room with my darlings, sort of watching telly, so it is not something I am doing INSTEAD of making soaps and all the other goodies, it is just something I am doing IN ADDITION to all that.

I had promised my almost-daughter-in-law to make her another "rattly"ring, this time in pretty pinks, and here it is, made with the sweetest little lucite flowers, imitation pearls rescued from a broken 1950s necklace, baby pink beads from broken 1960s necklace and various other little beauties -



Thats it for now, there are a few more pics of other bits of jewellery knocking about somewhere, but I'll leave those for another day.

Couldn't help myself,

I just had to have a little play with the beads earlier, they were calling me, honest! My almost-daughter-in-law loves funky jewellery which "rattles", lol, so I thought I make her a ring to go with the orange necklace I made for her a while ago. Darned fiddly, trying to get loads of teeny weeny beaded pins hooked onto the ring base, and I may have used some unladylike language once or twice, but.......... "rattle" it does, and she totally adores it! Now it seems I have to make a girlie pink version of it as well, lol.
