Last Weeks Haul

Last week I received my order from Funky Laser and haven't had time to get the post up. I ordered another Diving Swallow and a Butterfly as well this time. I also filled my order with chains in black, antique copper and chunky silver plated. And I got some lovely little wing shaped charms which I think Im going to use mainly in earrings.






I also got some plastic colourful beads to put in the box for my little cousins to make some more bracelets and necklaces soon.




I also received a copy of Beads & Beyond magazine last week. It was the September issue which featured my Designer Challenge page. Im still so happy with how it all turned out and was shown in the photographs. Hopefully my instructions are helpful for anyone trying to create the pieces that where shown.

Funky Laser are running a competition this week on their Facebook page. To enter all you have to do it send them a picture of a piece you got from them. Weather its a fully made piece of jewellery or cake topper or a piece you used to make jewellery, it doesn't matter.

I have entered in my Batman Bracelet. They where so great making the batman piece for me. I only had to sent a sketch and the dimensions and I'm so happy with what I got. Click here to see the album of all the entries so far and for details on how to enter. If you don't have a piece to enter maybe vote for your favourite piece. The competition will run for the week and the photo with the most likes will win.

What I ordered

I was recently sent a gift voucher for FunkyLaser, a fantastic company that makes laser cut shapes for a variety of uses along with finished jewellery, from Make Jewellery Magazine after they printed my picture. (Click here to see the piece.) I had only recently become aware of Funky Laser and was planning on getting some of their pieces to make a few things I had planned so I was really happy!

Their website has ready made pieces that can be ordered straight away  but they also run a custom service where you can order jewellery or components made to your own specifications. They have a variety or colours and finishes available as well so the combinations are endless!

I had a design for a Batman bracelet planned for quite a while but hadn't gotten around to making the batman symbol myself so when I heard of Funky Laser I knew what I was going to have done! I sent a picture along with the dimensions I required and they made it! Its perfect! I made the res of he bracelet using micro macrame in black and yellow and attaching the Batman symbol. I have taken it off since I put it together!

The other pieces I ordered where Jigsaw puzzle pieces, Lightening Bolts and Diving Swallow pendants that are all available ready made on the website. I have a few little things planned for these in the coming weeks so I will share them when they are finished.

And here is my Batman Bracelet! I love it! I used micro Macrame to make up the rest of the bracelet and attached a toggle clasp.

Thank you to Funky Laser and Leah who helped with my order! I am beyond pleased with how the Batman piece turned out and with the quality of everything including your customer service! I think its safe to say I will be back for more very soon!
