Here's a Few More Random Things I've Been Making Lately

Here's a few wee things I've been making lately.

Stuck some plectrums and old badges on to paper clips for my new journal (hurry up post!)
"Covered in Bees" Eddie Izzard Tribute Bracelet 
A friend asked for a paracord rescue belt.
I treated myself to a couple of wee project bags to keep my knitting separated and clean.

Red Tartan Messenger Bag

In pretty good time I have finished the messenger bag commission!

Finished item!
The customer asked for a pocket to fit a small flask, I designed and fitted it separately. There was almost certainly an easier way than how I did it but I'm really pleased with the end result!
Highly detailed plans!

All the parts ready for the final bits of sewing. 

The scariest bit, sewing outer to lining and hoping I got them the right way out!

Custom Order Packaged and Ready

An Etsy customer ordered a necklace and pair of earrings to match the bracelet she bought a few weeks ago. I'm so delighted that she liked her bracelet enough to want matching pieces, it really is such a confidence boost!

I got to order a whole load of beautiful gemstone chips to make the pieces and have loads left over to play with, which will be super fun!

I used orange/clear carnelian, red aventurine, mahogany obsidian, brown goldstone, leopard skin jasper and rhodonite chips in random order on wire for structure.

I also made and lined a box for posting, which was simpler than I expected so I'm going to try to do that in future for sending jewellery. 

Good mail day!

Geeky Jewellery

I made a whole bunch of jewellery last month inspired by and in tribute to some of the many things that have brought joy into my life...including Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, Discworld, Hitchhiker 's Guide, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmitt, 30 Rock and The Big Bang Theory.

I'll be listing them in Etsy over the next wee while so keep an eye open.
