Handmade Gemstone Jewellery

It is a long time since I was on here because I haven't been to creative for a long time but now I am making handmade gemstone jewellery which I hope to sell. Each piece is unique and no one else will have the same design.

This design is made up with black labradorite ovals, faceted antique crystal and haematite tubes. It will soon be for sale at www.aprilfooldesigns.com

Winter Exchange

Here is my Winter exchange from Jenny, it is beautifully stitched and finished off. It is now hanging on the wall. There is a lovely card too but I forgot to bring it through to scan :(

Halloween exchange

It was stitched by Angie and is so cute, I absolutely love it and it is so beautifully finished off. Thanks Angie

Here is my lovely and beautifully stitched summer exchange from Michelle.

Friends

I found this quote when I was looking for a friendship quote to design a cross stitch and found this one which I thought was lovely. The card used for the pink bras was able to be shaped so the bras look more realistic but the blue card was too thick.
