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

I'm back!

I haven't posted to my blog since November so I thought it was about time I did. I've been really busy  recently but over the last week I've had a little more time to work on some new designs and here they are!

My new charm necklaces are available in both silver and gold and they're £55 each. Head over to my Facebook page and send me a message if you'd like one www.facebook.com/ClojoRuthDesigns

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.
