Quirky Collars


  



I recently treated myself to some new beads to play with and these quirky collars are the result! The mouse collar (above) I made using lovely rose tinted glass beads and some painted wooden beads, I love the outcome of this design, I think it's fun and very quirky.

The hedgehog collar (below) has been drawn in my sketchbook for quite some time but I couldn't source the beads locally and kept forgetting to order them online, however I finally got round to it and my drawing became reality at last. I'm very pleased with it, I love the gold and the sparkles and I think it has a faint tribal feel to it!

If you're interested in buying either of these collars send me a message through my Facebook page www.facebook.com/clojoruthdesigns or head straight over to Etsy and purchase one (or two!) there www.etsy.com/shop/clojoruthdesigns They are £40 each and I have a 15% sale for one week only at my Etsy store, use code SUMMERSALE

A Charming Bracelet...


I recently had a big exhibition with the National Trust and I've been working lots so I've let me blogging slip very much! However recently I've managed to find the time to get back into my felting and I've made lots of new designs for you to feast your eyes on (more pictures to follow). This charm bracelet is something I've been thinking about for some time and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.

Soon I'm hoping to make more charms and be able to sell the individually but as it stands this bracelet is £48 including all four charms. If you'd like it send me a message on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/clojoruthdesigns

One off necklace...

A few days ago I made this hedgehog necklace! The necklace features two hand needle felted hedgehogs embellished with metallic beads, a 'love' charm and gold plated chain. I'm really pleased with it, it's quite different to my other necklaces. It's a one off, I shan't be making another so send me a message on Facebook if you'd like it! www.facebook.com/ClojoRuthDesigns £45 excl. postage

Exciting News!

I was recently approached by a new store opening in Dorset called Gathered Hand Made. Gathered Hand Made is a shop dedicated purely to selling beautiful hand made items and as of tomorrow they will be stocking a selection of my rings! I didn't have long to get the order made so it was panic stations but here are some pictures of my progress...

Nearly there... Mice and hares still need their whiskers though. It's nearing 2am at this point. 


All finished and ready to go, yay!

Stag Necklace.



I had already made a stag necklace a couple of weeks ago, however after my trip to the bead shop yesterday I decided it needed some tweaking and this is the result! I'm so pleased with it. Unlike my other necklaces this one has a chain and fastening rather than being strung onto elastic, I think it's made quite a difference. See it on Etsy here.
