Surprise double week posting!
Seeing as I'll be running away to San Francisco for the next two weeks it's likely that I won't even bother posting anything till the beginning of August so hence the additional posting for this week.
Celebrating the fact it's summer I decided to give crack at some summer themed jewelery. Here are the results.
Wind in the Willows Necklace

The main inspiration behind this piece is the children book, "Wind in the Willows." by Kenneth Grahame. The piece is handmade with glass leaf beads and green pearls. |
