When life gives you lemons

A few different makes this week. First some jewellery, and as the title suggests, there are lemons involved.

I didn't work on the thing that i had been working on last week, so that will be for another time. I have made a necklace, and a pair of earrings that i will wear for an upcoming wedding. The earrings were made by gluing some vintage cabochons to a pair of cages, and adding some seed beads.

The necklace is made of seed beads, leaf connector charms and a geometric fox for the central piece. 

Papercraft wise, i have made a tag and a card. i wanted to use a prima coin as a focal piece for the tag, so i coloured it with metallic waxes, then distress inked a tag and stuck it on. Once i had done this i coloured some lace, and alcohol inked a butterfly before coating it in metallic wax. I used prima art stones and resin rain drops, as well as a flower, a Tim Holtz sentiment. I cut the end word off as i had a wooden sentiment of 'lovely' so i cut the l and y off. Finally i added a ribbon, with a couple of paperclips on it. 

The card was more simple. I used distress ink to colour the background (same inks as i used on my nautical notebook) then used the into the woods visible image stamps, in purple and black ink for the trees, and black for the owls. I wanted to do something a little different for the moon, so i got a circle of black card from my stash and coloured it with silver wax. I then used the Tim Holtz specks stamp with black embossing powder for the detail. Finally i used distress crayons around the edge of the moon, added a sentiment, as well as some gems with white pen for stars. 

Finally, here is the update on the stitch. It's been a bit slower this week. I think it's partly as i am worried about running out of thread. 

Some progress is better than none though!

Until next time,
