Butterfly glass tile: Image from artfire@com set on a round glass tile, the back is sealed with 3 layers of diamond glaze allowing each layer to fully dry before adding another ( dont use heavy layers) then a gold tone bail was attatched using super strong glue.
Lucky reptile: Image is from a collage sheet found on artfire@com the tray and glass tile blank is from jasminstudiocrafts@com check out her site many great prices. The glass tile was secured down with a thin layer of diamond glaze, I found a ball chain which came with another charm but I wasnt keen on the look but it works perfect with this piece.


Fairy glass tile: This piece was made using old topper sheets I had sitting for a while in my stash, the images are larger with alot more detial so I just choose one that still had enough detail to fit inside the 25mm tile. This piece is set on bronze chain.
Vintage glass charm: With the glitter girl toppers I cut out a small 25mm circle, by hand and very difficult, not to self must get a circle punch. This one didnt turn out to good once it dried, but it adds charactor to the piece. I finished this one off with a nice bronze chain.







Vintage ladies: Images were from one of the glitter girl topper packs for the boards, I didnt enjoy using these boards so kept the images, the image is coated with mod podge, then set in the pendant with strong glue, once this has dried a layer of diamond glaze is applied, the tricky part is not having bubbles which I still cant seem to stop at least 1 or 2, then they are left to dry/cure for 72 hours.



















Yellow vintage set. I made these one night. The glass beads are yellow faux pearls set on a bronze chain, finished off with the lovely dragon fly charm/pendant. The earrings are made using the same beads but with bow connectors which I think sets it off really well.












Lovely fresh colours, green is not normally my colour but I find it works really well with the bronze findings, these were some beads I bought a while ago that I just couldnt find something to work well with them, there are glass silver lined green beads, some indian beads and a few faux pearls just to spread out the pattern, I am very pleased with this piece and feel it has turned out just perfect.






















Love working with Bronze now, this is one of my favourite colours of chain, I found some really old necklaces in my local charity shop, the beads were in poor condition but the chain was huge and loads of it, so I took everything off it, cleaned all the beads up, and the chain, binned the dirty discoloured ribbon and made a fab selection of heavy beaded bracelets. This selection was using a few of the red beads I polished up with new head pins, bead caps, spacers beads and new glass pearls to match the colour tones, such a fab set to go well with that red dress you love to wear.


Pretty necklace set, handmade roses, which I done for the 1st time, I am very pleased with how they turned out, purple and pink glass faux pearls to go really nice with the colour I made the roses, set on a strong silver tone chain. Perfect for a summers outfit.





















Bronze Necklace: Beautiful bronze necklace with yellow faux pearls, and glass painted beads. Bronze flower bead caps.
