I'm catching up with the 2 Sketches challenges as I forgot to do last week's :) I made the two cards yesterday so I'm now up to date. This first card is also being entered for the Secret Crafter challenge which is "This week's challenge has been set by the lovely JILL and she has chosen a theme of:-ANIMAL ANTICS We want to see animals in your projects, the stranger and funnier things they are up to the better!"
I think this lovely little bear fits that challenge :)

Wedding jewellery

Well after one of the crappiest of weeks again I thought I would lift the spirit of things by searching out some of the many projects I have undertaken and not got round to blogging. Whilst I was sorting out my desk top and clearing away some files I came across the following picture. Now I thought I had added this a while ago, before the wedding actually, but then I realised that I couldn't have done as I didn't finish it till about 2am on the morning of the wedding!! LOL


My dress and fascinator were black and ivory so I used AB crystal, jet black and silk Swarovski crystals to make myself a matching set of necklace, bracelet and earrings. I don't know if you can make it out, but there is a little butterfly in the centre of each earring (see close up). The beads were threaded onto silver tiger tail and I used sterling silver findings. The clasp on the necklace is a Swarovski rose clasp and it is just gorgeous.

I was really pleased with the way they turned out :)
