more jewellery from others

Gaile Almrott of Bright 'n' Breezy designed these three gorgeous necklaces. The first uses a mica shift pendant with blue jasper.







This one has faux jade, ceramic rondelles and crystals

Gaile used a mix of Safari beads along with brass,bone beads and a horn pendant in this ethnic styled necklace. I love them all Gaile.

A scary time ahead and jewellery from others

I knew it had to come but it doesn't make it any less scary.
I am about to lose my job and try to find another one.
This is the nature of the work I do, I work in a school as a classroom assistant with a special needs child, he is leaving for 'big school' and so my contract ends.
I have spent the last week feeling alternately worried, scared, terrified and numb. This weekend I have been writing a personal statement and filling in application forms, a woman of 47 shouldn't have to do this sort of thing, it's the world of the young.
I shall know by the end of the month whether I am successful, I may have bitten my fingers down to the bone by then.


Some of my beads have been made into beautiful jewellery by a couple of very talented designers.
Kim Gover of Beadilicious Designs created this bracelet using some of the safari beads I made.

It's wonderful Kim.
