Genisys

 

Bead Mazes

 

 

 

This is one of the designs I was talking about last week when I said the swirls inspired two new designs. I really like these, possibly more than the swirls. 

 

 

 

 

Again these earrings are made of recycled materials so you can be proud when you wear them. If left in the hands of anyone else these materials may have ended up in a landfill somewhere. But instead they were used to create a lovely piece of jewelry which you could be lucky enough to own.

 

 

 

 

And all my jewelry is handmade and can be made to order, so you don’t have to worry about showing up to an event and someone else wearing the same earrings. Your earrings (like you) are one of a kind!

Swirls

 

Yesterday was Neil’s birthday, I’d been busy over the past week making sure all my plans were falling into place. Plus last week was Halloween, although I didn’t have any parties to go to or costumes to coordinate I was in a festive mood and wanted to focus on the holiday. That doesn’t mean that I wasn’t busy though! I’m always thinking, dreaming and planning new designs or new materials to use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A while ago I made these swirls. I’ve adapted them since then which has led to two new designs altogether, but I’ll save them for another week. The first set of swirls are wider, but these newer swirls are thinner.

 

 

Also since then I’ve done the swirls in colored plastic.

Again all of these are made of recycled materials including repurposed beads. The finings of course are new, either silver or gold plated.

Thrift Stores/Charity Shops

 

We’ve been busy, but this blog isn’t always about where we go unless I find materials in our travels. We try to go away on a day trip once a week. Saturday we tried to go to Weymouth but never quite made it there. We spent the whole day in Portland on Chesil Beach. Unfortunately they didn’t have any sea shells there.

The remainder of our time we pretty much waste. I experiment with new materials and designs or try new recipes since I also love cooking. I don’t know what Neil does, plays Tetris and watches You Tube videos (just kidding). Once a week we go to a coffee shop for cappuccinos. On that trip we have to stop at several ‘Charity Shops’ as Neil calls them or Thrift Stores as we call them at home.

I’m not really into Thrift Stores. Neil loves a bargain but I only like bargains at department stores. I have gotten a few pairs of shoes in the charity shops because that’s pretty much the only place I can get good quality shoes in my size (when I can find them) at a reasonable price. When I decided to start making earrings Neil started looking in charity shops for beads to make them with.

He’s trying to take over my blog! He’s constantly looking at YouTube videos and trying to tell me things to make earrings out of. While I do appreciate the moral support, his ideas aren’t usually the way I want this to go. Nevertheless, we’ve found a few deals on beads at the ‘Charity Shops’ and I’ve done a few pairs of earrings.

 

Rosie

Trixie

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These pairs I made from the beads of a vintage necklace, the beads are in good condition. I really dig the shapes!

 

Swirls

 

 

This pair I really love. I’m a hematite fan anyway, but I tried being creative and putting the beads in a spiral. I also tried to incorporate all the pieces from the bundles we purchased. Neil really likes the bundles the way they are so I told him I would take one apart and leave one together.

 

 

Again, what you see here is the only stock there is, at least for now. I think I can make another pair or two of Rosie and Trixie, but Swirls I can only make one pair.
