Beautiful, Beautiful Beads

Be welcome to my vision of contemporary beadwork jewellery - Beautiful, Beautiful Beads. The pieces I design are often made using a technique called bead-crochet, which I absolutely love. I use other techniques as well, to either make complete pieces or to add a focal point to a bead-crochet rope. You'll find a variety of jewellery in my shop that ranges from casual to statement pieces and each one has been created with love and thought. I hope you enjoy having a look around in my Etsy-Shop or visiting my facebook-page and please, don't be shy - contact me, if you have queries regarding my jewellery. Custom orders are welcome, let me know what you have in mind and I'll see what I can do.

GemzGems

Welcome to GemzGems! I am a married mother of 2 children aged 4 and 2 and also a full time law student. I took up crafting after developing a 'make do and mend' attitude during the recession. This has bought back my creative side from when I was a child,plus my obsession of the 50's to a new level. GemzGems was launched just a few months back bringing back the things that I loved as a kid and opening my eyes to new ideas. Thank you for looking around and if you would like something made to your requirements, please feel free to contact me.

LO! Designz

I make handcrafted jewellery with mostly precious metal clay which becomes solid fine silver (99.9%)after firing and can be hallmarked as such. I also make pieces from base metal clays such as copper and bronze. I incorporate both semi-precious and lab-created stones in my jewellery. As all my pieces are one-of-a-kind, no two are the same. However, if you see something you like but in another colour, feel free to contact me and I'd make it to order for you.

Auli'i Beads

So, a bit about me ... Well, I've always loved costume jewellery and a colleague once asked just how many bracelets etc I had as I always seemed to be colour co-ordinated. My first foray into the world of beading was when a favourite bracelet broke and I bought some beading elastic and decided to repair it myself. When I just couldn't find a bracelet to go with an outfit I had I decided to get some beads and make my own so I could get exactly what I wanted. Then to keep myself occupied during a period of illness I found myself making beaded jewellery and soon became totally addicted!

Caravan chic

Just look at my vintage lovelies hot off the sewing machine...



I'm just loving them. Caravan chic at its very best. The colours are so vibrant and the designs playful without being garish. They bring a little sunshine in. Both available now in my Wow Thank You store. You'll find the turquoise ones here and the green ones here.

I'm having a vintage stall at CRAFTfest in September, so I thought I'd better get my act together and start creating some goodies with my vintage stash. After all, I didn't really buy the fabric just to stroke it and say "I love you"...

WowThankYou - my latest venture

I'm seriously in danger of becoming a cybernerd if I'm not careful. I've been tweeting away to build up some networking and publicity and I can see how easy it must be to fall into the trap of sleepless nights whiling away the hours obsessively scanning snippets of info. Must...talk...to...real...humans...

Gibside Market was a lovely day out last weekend but slow going on the sales front. Still, you don't know until you try so I'll keep plodding on.

Well what's been happening at Personal Space Interiors you ask? I'm just finishing off an assignment for my Diploma in Professional Interior Design today. Colour Theory - all very fascinating in a chemistry / physics / psychology kind of way. I've uploaded my new Toile de Jouy bedroom range to the website - see pic. And I'm about to open a new shop on the fabulous WowThankYou as recommended by lovely Ceri from Oakwood Soaperie (check out her shop on WowThank You - gorgeous goodies).

Happy crafting everyone! xx
