Torch fired enameled beads

set 12, a photo by Eve smith,silvermeadows. on Flickr.

I have been going through all my beads lately seeing as i seem only to make jewellery using either sterling silver, brass or copper, so i have decided that i will list some of my torch fired enameled beads on my etsy site, i have made up little sets, prices are ranging from £11 to £16 so if you fancy some head over to my etsy site at www.silvermeadows.etsy.com. Thanks again Eve

Here is a little pair of earrings that i made at my workshop today, These measure 1 1/2" with the ear wire. I have cut out little flowers in the centre of the earring, then i doomed the flower, then i soldered it back onto the earring. i used my dremel to add some texture, I added a little liver of sulpher to darken the flower and part of the bottom of the earring, Then i popped them into the polisher. I have been looking at tools this week, I just love rio grande and otti frei, for their tools, just wish we had places like them in the UK, So I think that i'm going to purchase a few bits and bobs as even with the delivery and tax it works out cheaper than tools in this country.

Here is a pair of earrings that i have made this week amongst other bits and bobs, i have made more of my little signature flowers, i textured using a rolling mill. These measure just under 2". I will hopefully get around to adding these to my etsy site this weekend. I don't know if anyone else has started to used pinterest? i quite like it, adding all my favourite things, if you are on add me thanks. I'm now away to dream land so night all.

Yahoo its the weekend

Here is another piece of my bridal range, I made this a few months back, which i had already added a pic to my flickr site but i did'nt like the first style what i made as it was straight, so i decided to remake this again and make it more curved. Last night i added a few more pieces to my etsy site, which i really need to be adding to more often. I am hoping to be ordering a new range of packaging hopefully within the next month, plus i really need to research on getting into doing some trade fairs, as i feel doing the small craft fairs, im not doing as well as people just want to buy pieces at lower prices. Hope you all have a lovely weekend .

Im back! well after a nightmare of a year last year, I have decided to more of an effert into my jewellery, im hoping this year to try and get into trade fairs and maybe do some wedding fairs. At the end of last i lost my beloved mum, who i miss so much, she was only 59, but after a few years of ill health she is now in no pain. So this is why im going to give my all to promoting my jewellery and doing more marketing as my mum love my pieces, so im hoping that 2012 will be a good year.
