New Butterfly Design

I have just bought myself Abby Hook's book "Wire Jewelry Masterclass". There are some absolutely beautiful designs in there. I made the butterflies above based on one of them.
I often wonder about intricate designs. They are fun to make, but they do take a lot longer than simpler designs and I'm not sure they are more popular.
But these little wings are just lovely. I think I'll be making more of these, but the first pair is for me :o)

New Necklace

New necklace for my Jewellery shop
:o)


Glass beads in forest colours, braided by hand to form a soft necklace. The focal bead is a little square game tile - painted, stamped and protected in laquer.
The necklace is not quite a choker, but meant to sit quite high. See the diagram for a guide on length.
16 inches long (40 cm) with an extra 25 inches of extension (6cm).

Flamingo Golf

He likes golfing at night when no one tried to use him as a club...

Dogs in Snow

Long-tailed Tit

Key Ring

He's a bit lop-sided my little heffalump. But helps keep the stress at bay at work.
In Danish he's called Hafferlaf. 
Love saying that word.
