Cooking & something completely different....well a bit different!

My creative space this week includes a bit of cooking -

sweet potato burgers with haloumi

- and something different.
I mentioned that I'm not going to be making the tshirts for Boos Tees anymore - after I have got rid of the stock that I have at the moment, but I have a considerable amount of fabric.....so this week I took some of these -

and some of these -

- rummaged through some of this -

and made some of these -

Can you guess what they are going to become?

That's right!
Earrings!

I was having so much fun....but then I ran out of stud backs...so I have to go supplies shopping - aw, what a shame!

What's been happening in your space (creative or otherwise) this week?

Piles and piles of earrings - my creative space

There's nothing like an impending festival or market to get the creative space humming!
And I have been in full production, making batches of things.
I know it's not really very creative, but these will help to pay for the stall space (not cheap!)

I made a whole bunch of pendants.
Here are the Alice in Wonderland ones -

I also have some Paris themed pendants, steampunk inspired and some cute ones with birds and flowers.

But earrings are my bread and butter, and what I really, really enjoy making.
Unfortunatley my right hand decided to seize up, making holding pliers too difficult (very inconvenient!) so I had to let these sit for a while.

Instead I reckoned I could do some glueing! (I can hear you all rolling your eyes!)
When I was in Sydney a couple of weeks ago I visited The Button Shop in The Rocks - in fact it was conveniently just behind our hotel, when we stayed here.
Picked up some sweet little buttons to make some stud earrings with.

Here they are all ready to go - 

Then suddenly I am all out of stock of glass drop earrings.
My hand isn't too bad today so I reckon I can do a bit of wire wrapping.

 

I'm posting this on my creative space over on Village Voices - pop on over and have a look at what others have been up to this week.

I've been shopping - again! My creative space.

Bead shopping, of course!

Buying lots of lovely summer brights!

I'm so looking forward to summer - are you?

Actually the main reason for my shopping trip was to get some chain - so that mission was successful!

Oh, yes - and some more bits of brightness!
Delicious - yes?

A while ago I had some cute beads which I made into sweet little earrings....then I lost them, sadly.
So while I was in Sydney last week I just happened to pop into the button shop in the rocks and picked up some more.
Can't wait to get these turned into stud earrings.

Meanwhile back at the workbench - I created some simple silver pendant necklaces.
Next I need to make some gold and brass ones ready for my next market >>>>>>>>

 Hi and happy Thursday to everyone!

 How has your week been so far?

I have been doing some serious creating, realising it's only one week until the start of the spring fair season.

With that in mind I have been making some spring themed jewellery like these bird's best necklaces.
Now I realise that the bird's nests are not new, and I didn't invent them, but I had a stash of czech glass pearls that I wasn't using plus a few other round stone beads that needed a purpose.

 These wire-wrapped pendants are perfect beacuse they use 3 little round beads and wire (that I already had).
Also although there are plenty of these on etsy I haven't seen them out in the markets here, so they will be a bit of freshness on my stall.

 Next up - I've had a few requests for stud earrings.
The other week when I was in sydney for my wedding anniversary I had a bit of shopping time and as luck would have it our hotel was almost next door to the most fabulous button shop "Buttons buttons buttons". I always love having a poke around in there and picked up some sweet little buttons to use for earrings.

What do you think?

And that's about it for now...back to my creative space to do some creating, however if you'd like to see more creative spaces or join in then pop on over to Our Creative Spaces.

See you next time!
