So have made 3 men rings ........... I was asked by a gallery in Devizes if I did any rings for men, they were looking for something that was defintitely handmade and for men so I came up with these 3. The wrap ring I have made for a long time and have made a few for men over the years but the other 2 are new .... quite inoffensive but definitely handmade so I am hoping they like them ..... if interested email me your ring size. Everything is sterling silver ......

Coincidentally, I saw this article on men's bangles ..... will have to come up with some new designs now .......

Eldest daughter was 15 yesterday ........ she was made up with her wireless mouse for her Mac and other bits and pieces. Having a sleepover tonight, kinda girls night/chickflick/junk food night.
Tom and I are going out and hopefully climbing up Ingleborough if the weather is okay.

Have made new bangle and matching ring, simple hammered charm, moves, bangle and ring hammered on one side .......... have also finished new range, more on that later ......... can buy pieces from www.thejewelleryroom.co.uk

Missed Dizzie Rascal on Jonathan Ross last night, will have to catch up on iPlayer later ...........

Have decided to make a Dali bangle to match the ring .... can't think why I haven't done one sooner ..... simple design and looks great in silver ......

Went for a run yesterday and had that 'tall' feeling again!

Did lots of pancakes last night, sweet and savoury ...... have given up chocolate and alcohol for Lent!! Lets see how long that lasts ...........

New BIG ring ..... sterling silver ..... this one is oxidised but doesn't have to be ......... its on the website www.thejewelleryroom.co.uk

In the process of making more new designs ..... I am designing and making some pendants which I wil put on bead necklaces rather than chains ....... just learning the intricacies of beading at the moment!

Have signed up to do The Art Market in the Westmoreland Shopping Centre in Kendal this July ..... a new one but hopefully a good place and time ..............

Love this bracelet - I know I love all the glass bead jewellery I make - the beads by Emma www.beadenvy.co.uk are called Poppyfield ..... they are great, red green and white ....... look great with the sterling silver .....

The amber pendant is ok ..... I decided to set some stones in silver, I have a few knocking about and never use them, stone setting is'nt my strong point .... they don't really go in to it in detail when you are studying so you end making one piece for the course and nothing else ...... so I decided to do a few stones yesterday .... the amber came out best .... I did a turquoise stone but the setting is so bad I am going to redo it .... I also did some other bits and made a ring with a peridot which I have claimed for me! Will post images another day ................

Went to Wennington Hall School fireworks last night ..... great display and we got treacle toffee and chocolate apples that they had made .........yum .... and thanks.
