Fun With Glass Jars

 
I love lazy Sunday mornings ......
lie ins
Tea in bed
Steve Wright Sunday Love Songs
 
and
a peek thorugh Pinterest!!!
 
This morning glass jars caught my eye!!
I love glass anyway and find lots of uses for glass jars
Store my glass rods
My frit blends
and the list goes on ...
 
After seeing the goodies on Pinterest an idea struck
Butterflies in a jar!!
 
So this is my proto type  .....
 
Here are just a couple of favourites that I found

Golden Honey Flower Bracelet

I have a new flower press, and now I've mastered it I love it! These beadies were fresh out of the kiln yesterday and I just couldn't wait to have a play with them.

The base glass is lt topaz and in the sunlight it's just like golden honey, in the centre is "Clio" a reflective glass that's just beautiful. I've teamed it with green and pinky Swarovski crystals and finished with a starling silver butterfly toggle.!

It's so girly and I love it!

Valentine Butterfly

Hello there!

In my book, Valentine's is not just for couples - it's a day when you can say "I love you" to anyone you love! I like to make gifts for my sisters and for my aunty - and I sneak around early in the morning to deliver these gifts! Eek - today was Sunday - no lie in for me!

This I made for my aunty - I saw the tutorial in Beads and Beyond to make the wire butterflies, and I was itching to give it a go!!

So happy Valentine's everyone!!
