Star hoops

Here's 2 sets of hoops I've made today using a mixture of bits from Lebeado and the craft shop in halstead near my mum's house.. Thanks Linda for telling me about the fab 75% off sale happening there today and tomorrow as well.. I spent a small fortune £21 but that's nothing considering it should have been about £85! I bought so many little goodies, so that should keep me going for a fair while now, especially when I add to all the goodies I got for xmas :)
I decided to use some of my goodies for jewellery.. so I used the star beads (20p each!!) and added them to some beads I've had laying around for a while...
I've used:

• Earring hoop blanks (silver & black)
• Blue foil glass stars
• Black foil glass stars
• White matt glass beads
• Czech Tiff AB blue beads
• Czech Tiff AB black beads
• Earring wires
• Jump rings

Jewellery tinkering

So I've had a fair bit of free time to faff around in the last few days so here's some of my recent makes...
Scrabble tile bracelet and earring set.. with a ring on the way... my name certainly isn't worth a lot of points is it..
I've used:

• Scrabble tiles
• Filigree spacer balls
• Silver wire
• Silver earring wires

The earrings are for mum as she liked the pair I made myself... she's loving me being home at the moment as she can scour her way through all my jewellery and ask for her own sets of things and paw through my beads..

I've used:

• Hematite beads
• Glass pearl beads
• Silver spacer balls
• Silver eyepins
• Silver earring wires

And there's bound to be more earrings on the way soon as mum has just found my other stash of earrings and i've more scrabble tiles to play with..
