About Me

My photo
My love affair with fabrics and fashion started during childhood, I was encouraged by a clever mum who was always on her machine experimenting. Designing and the creative process keeps me just about sane. At the moment jewellery is my passion as; after all it is the little things in life that are truly precious. For me it its the process of making - working 30 hours a week doesn't leave much time to indulge this hobby. In the past I tended to give a lot of it away or remake once I have achieved the photo I want to make into another item. I'm now starting to sell though which is great, would be lovely to do this full time though. I am currently uploading vintage items I no longer have use for so please feel free to check out my little etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollyDaise

Finger Bling!

Not sure about the title this time - my hubby agrees, it just doesn't sound right. But as its late at night and I've used up all my spare brain cells teaching my wonderful and talented pupil today I think I'll leave it as is for now.









 




Both these rings made from the selfedge at the bottom of a jewellary box - repurposed pieces, mostly vintage.  Attached to adustable ring settings.

Not So Sure!

Well, I made these two necklaces from a brooch which I found broken in two in my box of selfedge, I filed the sharp edges off, replaced the missing rhinestones and embriodered around the edges.

 
 I like the purple edged one but an unsure about the direction of the burgundy one - may change the way it hangs.
