Tagua Earrings Please Vote

I recently entered my Tagua earrings into a contest held by EcuadorianHands to win some Tagua Beads. They are such great beads I would love to win them so I'm shamelessly begging for votes. There are six entries which are all beautiful so I have my work cut out for me trying to get some votes. 

To cast your vote click here. You will see the six entries and under the final two pictures a voting box shows up. I'm not sure why but you can't see this voting box on a mobile phone but it can be seen when using a computer. Thanks in advance. 

You can also see my text and picture tutorial on how to make these earrings here. Or a video version here. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Being Irish I had to make something Irish themed for the weekend that is in it. Paddy's day has always been a day to celebrate and is the one day every year the entire country celebrates. 

I have wanted to make one of these bracelet for so long, I remember making them when I was younger so I figured it would be nice to try it out in the Green, White and Orange of our flag! It only took me about 5 minutes to remember what I was doing. 

I made this one using 1mm cotton cord that I had left over from making the macreme and knotted bracelets. 

Large Bead Bookmarks

So I bought some really nice large glass bead mixes last year and had already used some to make bracelets and necklaces and wasn't sure exactly what to do next. So I thought I would make some bookmarks with them.

I kept a colour scheme for each and used silver plated engraved bookmarks that I bought online. I think they turned out very well and add a little bit of jewellery to a book when its being used.
