New Bird Decal Fused Glass Pendants

How is everyone this week? I did a tac fuse on a range of bits that had been on the to do and well I ran the new kiln a bit too low. The glass came out attached but didn't look like it had been fused. Oh dear! The torch got fired up and did a bit of stringer work practice, I want to suss out winding the stringer continuously 1 without burning myself and 2 without over heating. I'm getting there! I also got these new design bird decal pendants in the kiln - I especially love the flamingo. Think I need one in my life maybe in yellow! Have a great weekend, E x

Sunshine brings sales!

I've had a great sales week this week and some of my favourite designs of the moment have sold so I'm really pleased. Below are a few that sold and if you like anything don't forget I can make similar but never the same!

So this weekend is set to be productive stage 1 of project garage commences - I must take photos of the stages. It is full to the brim of stuff ready for the tip which is exactly where it is off to tomorrow. 2013 will see my fabulous workshop become a reality. I'm soooo excited you cannot believe. Or maybe you can if your a fellow crafter/maker lacking space. What are you up to this weekend? Have a great one, Elisa :)

This week.....

Just as I've been moaning that I haven't had enough time to be creative I have just sat back and realised I've made a new set of lapis glass beads, a fascinator, some cuff links and a birdcage veil. So maybe I was being a little harsh on myself! I've been doing some more research and think I have finally "got" Pinterest. So all in all not so shabby as week's go. Cross fingers this weekend the little details will get sorted - a shelf, a clock and some paint splodges will all result in my new kitchen being finished then to move onto the garage aka a new Elisa zone. Have a fab weekend and I'll leave you with some photos. E x

New Take on Tiara making!

After selling some more of my quirky tiaras I have taken this on board and decided to make a few more off the beaten track pieces. Above is Charity a new purple and ivory mix tiara to start the ball rolling.... I will be in the Fareham shop tomorrow if you have any jewellery related enquiries. Below are a couple of recent glass work commissions I have undertaken. HAve a lovely weekend, Elisa :)

New Flower Collection

These fabulous new pieces of wearable art have arrived on my doorstep in time for the Christmas market season. I saw them whilst on holiday in Australia and knew they would compliment my own work. I think you'll agree these preserved orchids are none other than eye catching.

I will be available in the Fareham shop tomorrow if you have any queries. Have a fabulous weekend, Elisa x

I heart glass!

I had a really productive week! I spent some time getting my hand back in making glass beads along with trying out my new birdie decals. I think you'll agree they are pretty funky! So my big hole beads are a little wobbly in places but I'm pleased with the results. This weekend if you want to buy some original jewellery or just come and have a chat about what I do I'll be in Havant (see flyer below) tomorrow and at Shedfield Cricket Fun Day on Sunday The bain of a glass addict is that there is never enough time to create all your ideas! I'll just have to keep writing them down. Have a fabulous weekend! E x
