Egypthian midnight ...

I had this brass stamping for almost a year and I didn't know what to do with it, until a few days ago. I was looking at one of my ancient Egypt coffee table books and tada!
This idea came to me.

I have to admit I wanted to keep it for myself , but I will gladly part with it if it goes to a good home.

My next tutorial is almost finished

This is a little previeuw .




Pretty right?

I call it Rose's pearl ring.

Why ?

Because I came up with the design at around 2:30 am while giving a bottle to my daughter Rose.
The tutorial for this ring will be up at : www.thejewelsshop.com today.

Jewelry tutorials and a new website has been my projects for this week.

I'm venturing off into the world of jewelry tutorials. All of this because of a friend who is starting to make her own jewelry. She was looking for online jewelry tutorials,but could not find one that she liked.

So after a night of Dungeons and Dragons (yes that's what I do when I'm not beading), I decided to try and make a tutorial.

So introducing....

My fruity earrings tutorial.

All of my tutorial can be found at my new website: www.thejewelssop.com

Some new jewelry added to the shop

The new jewelry is here! The new jewelry is here!

Yes I happy...come to think of it I'm always happy when I make new jewelry.

Pendent,bracelets,necklace oh my where to start

Let's start with Malachite...

But what is Malachite Jewels ? I can hear you ask.

"Malachite was used as a mineral pigment in green paints from antiquity until about 1800. The pigment is moderately lightfast, very sensitive to acids and varying in colour.

It is also used for decorative purposes, such as in the Malachite Room in the Hermitage which features a huge malachite vase. "The Tazza", one of the largest pieces of malachite in North America and a gift from Tsar Nicholas II, stands as the focal point in the center of the room of Linda Hall Library." Source wikipedia.org

Malachite is soft so it is sensitive to: heat, acids, ammonia and hot water. This means, do not clean the house , pet ,car or cooking while wearing it.

This is a lovely pendent I made using Malachite, wire and tiny silver plated beads.
