Pearls and Apologies

I have rather meanly neglected my blog of late so to make up for it, here are lots of lovely new things to feast your eyes upon!

There is currently a special offer of 20% off, exclusively on my website, on the gorgeous ivory 'Oyster Shell' hair comb (below) which is a fab accessory if you are attending a wedding this year. Better still, if you know a bride-to-be or are one, you can now save on this simple but stunning hairpiece. Now is the time to order in for all those bridesmaids!


Made with a flexible silver comb base and stunning ivory freshwater pearls with Swarovski crystal pearls in light creamrose (ivory), this is such a pretty and versatile hair comb. Get it now while the offer runs at www.inspiredscilly.weebly.com

Here is a sneak preview of my latest fishy bracelet - a gorgeous contrasting piece with black wire and lovely light pink shell fish pendants and sparkling seed beads.


It's a fun and quirky little piece for summer. It hasn't yet been uploaded to Etsy so keep an eye out for it over the coming week and be the first to get one!

Finally, here is a really pretty pale yellow cluster ring with a stunning mix of juicy yellow beads in acrylic, crystal and glass. An assortment of shapes make up this unique 'one-off' design, including a lovely flower bead.


The silver plated ring shank is adjustable and can be adjusted to fit if you give us your measurement! To take a closer look, click here.

Early for Xmas, Late for.. everything else!

Another horribly overdue post for this blog...! I guess I was reminded by the fact that I'm already busy making for Christmas craft fairs so, before I forget, here are the events we're going to be exhibiting at this year: 24th October - 23rd November:  Just Makers Christmas Crafts in the Bath House at RHS Harlow Carr. 18th - 19th November: York Christmas Fair at Skelton Garden Centre. 2nd December: Christmas Fair at Tithe Barn, Nether Poppleton, York. Our work also continues to be available at Just Makers in the Castle Courtyard at Ripley and at Pot Buoys Gallery on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly where our Christmas tree earrings will be a new addition this year. You can also purchase direct via www.etsy.com/shop/inspiredscilly or by messaging via Facebook at www.facebook.com/inspiredscilly .

The Alien has Landed!

It's not quite finished but here is my completely crazy felt creation (from a previous post entitled 'Is that an alien on your head'.. in hat form. I need some nice matching felt to go on the underside to finish it off but I'm quite pleased so far. Now to find someone who would wear it! That could be trickier!! My favourite bit has to be the 'dreads' (an unusual alternative to feathers I think you'll agree) and beads - I guess it all looks a bit like seaweed in the water. It's hard to make out from the pic but there are some lovely coral and blue sparkly threads in the middle. (materials courtesy of my Mum with blue sewing thread from www.alteredelement.co.uk )

Design Team Project!

Here's my first Design Team project for Altered Element! All the materials used came from www.alteredelement.co.uk . Gold and turquoise knitted-wire bracelet with handmade toggle clasp and a lovely blue shell-shaped bead to fasten. The colours remind me of the beach, golden sands and cool blue waters, but it also has a regal feel - a bit Egyptian or Aztec maybe?! This is made with 0.4mm wire and beads for both projects are from the 'Dress it Up' and 'Glass Naturals' collections. The tiara base was created by twisting 18 gauge wire, then wrapping this with 0.4mm gold wire (26 gauge) to create an uneven twisted base, to make it a bit more organic and 'fairytale'. Knitted into the tiara are gorgeous turquoise, gold and bronze beachy-coloured seed beads and shell-like beads and a bronze Vintaj bird charm. Lastly I added a lovely gold bow for the finishing touch!
