A friend saw my favourite Tim Burton-inspired bracelet the other day and wanted one just like it – so here it is! Made from lashings of glass and acrylic beads with black and white polymer clay slices that I made myself. I love the original and wear it all the time.
I’ve also given my website a huge makeover – pop along and let me know what you think!

Another piece of jewellery for my Goth collection, I love the skeleton on this solid pewter pendant just ‘chillin’ out! I used beautiful sparkly jet black fire polished crystals with silver plated beads and a hook clasp. This definitely isn’t one for the faint of heart!

I love these earrings so much I’m tempted to have my ears re-pierced just to wear them. But I don’t think I could stand the pain, the swelling, the inevitable infection and trip to the hospital so I think I’ll just put them for sale instead!
You’ll be seeing lots of gothic & Victorian style jewellery from me at the moment as I’ve gone back to what started me off wanting to make my own jewellery in the first place. I seem to have lost my way a bit as I tried out all the different techniques and styles that making jewellery offers, but goth is where the heart is

Thank you very much to This Thursday for coming up with the theme The Stashbuster Raid this week! I decided I would delve into my bead stash and found this fab leather ‘barbed wire’ thonging that I bought so long ago I’d forgotten about it. I’ve kept it simple and just added a gorgeous pewter bat charm. It’s meant to be worn as a choker – honestly, it’s not as uncomfortable to wear as it looks – and measures 15″ long with a 2″ extender chain. Will add it to my website later on today.
This Thursday – Black is Back September 5, 2008

When I saw that the theme on This Thursday was Black is Back I thought ooh, my kind of thing, and decided I would paint a canvas for a change, which is something I’ve never done before. But what to do? I knew I didn’t want to create a ‘picture’ as such but something more abstract, and well, something gothic which is very much my taste. Watching Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd last night gave me just the the inspiration I needed – and so ‘Slash’ was born! If you’re of a nervous disposition, best look away now.
By the way, in case you’re wondering……it is paint! And no, a few sheets of paper doesn’t protect your work surface, bead storage, printer, clothes, face or anything else within a 3ft radius…..
