I've been taking on many complex projects lately, so every now and then it's nice to just create something simple.

I Heart...Dragons Bracelet
As promised, we start the week with a new addition to the I Heart...Collection. There seem to be an abundance of necklaces in the collection at the moment and even though that's what I like to create most, I wanted to make another bracelet. This time I've decided to go with a cuff style.
I love Dragons and I think they are my favourite mythological creature. Also, my Chinese astrological animal is the dragon, which I share with my Mother. So I created this bracelet, drawing on inspiration from them.

Happy Birth/Mother's Day!
I don't usually post at the weekend, especially when it's my birthday! However I was silly enough to be born around Mother's Day here in the UK so today I have to share the celebration of my arrival on this Earth with celebrating the amazing woman who gave birth to me. I don't have much to offer, so I thought I'd add to the ever expanding collection of jewellery that I have made for her.
As you may or may not be aware, I adore semi-precious gemstones and they are my favourite to work with. I love the random beauty of natural stones. I was excited when one of my favourite sites [Beads Direct] to get gemstones were having a sale as it gave me an opportunity to work with a stone I've wanted to buy for a while - Druzy Agate:

Mistakes & Work in Progress
Hi everyone, I haven't forgotten to upload but recent projects have been kicking my ass!
I'm trying a Cellini spiral for my next addition to the I Heart...Collection, however I wasn't pleased with my first attempt.

Beaded Cross Necklace
I've spent this weekend designing and making new items for the I Heart...Collection, but I haven't had time to take any photos yet. Due to some chaotic happenings over the weekend, I'm not sure how regularly I'll be posting this week.
Today's item is a gothic necklace (my favourite theme!) based around a tutorial from Ruby's Beadwork for a beaded cross pendant.
