Pink floral charm bracelet with a touch of navy - Commissions at Lottie Of London

 

I was sent a request from a client recently who had fallen in love with my pink floral charm bracelet. 

 

 

She mentioned it was perfect for an upcoming wedding she was due to attend but needed some navy beads added to the bracelet to co-ordinate with her wedding outfit.

I crafted the navy beads using polymer clay and interspersed them throughout the charm bracelet.

Here’s the final piece with a touch of navy blue.

 

If your interested in having something designed for yourself in colours to match a special outfit or even a mixture of bead designs? Please feel free to contact me at info@lottieoflondon.co.uk and I can discuss your ideas and requirements to create your perfect accessories for your outfit.

Polymer Clay Cuff Bracelet - Its a Diaster

Yes its another fail in my pursuit of cuff bracelet making!

The trials and tribulations of making a polymer clay cuff bracelet

This was just a just a test run trying out my new cuff bracelet blank by Premo and although this was just a first ry with the bracelet blank to become familiar with using it I have to admit I had high hopes as the design was starting to look good.

Preparing the design for my polymer clay cuff bracelet

Alas it wasn't to be and I think I know where I went wrong! I just didn't make the base strong enough before applying the pattern.  I made the initial base too thin, cooked it and it was just too weak.

So next time I will know better.

Polymer Clay Leopard Print Jewellery

Animal print has been featured in quite a few fashion pieces this Autumn & Winter, now I've never been a lover of the animal print personally but thought I'd have a go at a leopard print cane and here it is...

My leopard print cane created from polymer clay

I was really happy with the results of the cane and decided to make a few sheets and some beads.

Bead making with my animal print polymer clay cane

The finished peices come up slightly darker than the orignal cane but I am delighted with the results  and created a few different jewellery pieces.  I'm definitely converted and I think these would look great with a simple black dress prefect for people like me who shy away from animal print but want to show a touch of their wild side.

Are you a lover of animal print?

I'm Back! with some new Jewellery Makes

Well I'm back, though I haven't actually been away! I've been very preoccupied these last few weeks as we have been visiting open days for my daughters secondary school applications, I have to admit its been a nightmare but the application is now submitted so its over with till next march.

I'm glad to say that in between all this I have been able to get some crafting in during this time. My internet went down a few weeks ago which meant that computer jobs went on hold and I decided to pull my beads out and create some items with my older stock. Its been a very long time since I've hit the bead stash and I had great fun putting together some new pieces for my Etsy Store.

Above are two Autumnal toned pieces created with glass pearls and venetian glass beads with hints of gold.

Below are some cooler Winter toned pieces with white/cream glass pearls with hints of ice blue and another featuring my burgundy polymer clay millefiori beads.

I have to say I thoughy enjoyed getting the bead box out and creating these peices it's been too long, maybe the internet should go down more often.

Polymer Clay Valentine Jewellery

Its been another busy weekend this time I've been struggling to work with a dodgy internet connection not great when you have lots of internet work and uploading to be done Arrghhh! but luckily I got to take time out last night and went to watch Strictly Come Dancing at the O2 and although it was cheesy I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So back to work here's a glimpse of my Valentine Jewellery makes that I did manage to get uploaded and edited.

All my new Valentine Jewellery was made with the Polymer Clay Millefiori Rose Canes I made a couple of weeks ago.  I have quite a bit more but the slow connection means not everything has been edited and uploaded yet to my Etsy Store but hopefully the rest will be loaded once this connection has been sorted out.

Weekend Catch Up

It's been a busy one this weekend, we are currently fostering a new little kitty for the MIL.

Pumpkin our new fostered addition

Introducing Pumpkin, his a cute little fella, if not a bit nutty and has made himself right at home in our mad house.  We will be looking after him to help him socialise with our dogs and until he grows a little bigger then he will be back off to his permanent home.

 We already have a cat, my daugthers Misty, she is nearly 2 yrs old now and is a bengal/siamese mix, she did'nt take to the new kitty at all well and has spent most of the weekend skulking off to sulk, but shes finally coming round to the idea of havng a ball of fluff to  push around :)

Misty our own kitty cat

So its been a bit hectic here with cats and dogs all running around under my feet, I did however get a chance to make a few new charm bracelets, here's a peak
