Coiled Kaleidoscope Cane Bangle

Coiled Kaleidoscope Cane Bangle

Decorated with a kaleidoscope cane. And it’s not blue! Don’t worry I will come back to blue soon enough . I will be teaching this as a workshop in Rome next spring. More details will follow… I am also working on the plans for Polymania 2016...

I tried to make a cardboard tube the...

Latest jewellery – and it’s all for me!

I haven’t had any new jewellery for myself for a while now, I was busy making sale stock and completing orders. So far this year things have been quieter so finally made myself some new things. Here’s some of them 3 blue and white skinny bangles. I am road testing these to see how they strong they are. Baked them extra long to try and make sure they were strong! Blue and white oval cabochon pendant, I do love this simple blue and...
