Well I never got a mohawk hair cut but I used to wear tight jeans, dark shirts and combat shoes and listen to a lot of punk music like the Ramones, The Sex Pistols and the Clash ...

In case anyone is wondering what it looked like...

I found this video...



It's just a part of the storm... Just before the hail stones we had very strong winds, some people said it even looked like a tornado...

Bead inspiration anyone?

And these "beauties" had melted a bit when I took the picture...

Yesterday evening I had the misfortune to witness the biggest thunderstorm I've ever seen.

The garden is ruined...

C.I.F. and other things

These are the gifts I sent to Elsie. A necklace with a handmade stoneware pendant and earrings with old belgian coins. Check Elsie's blog and shop.

And Sherry spoiled me with this amazing necklace. She knows I love the settings she makes so she surprised me with this beauty ! Check her blog and shop !

I sent these "candy" buttons to Lindsay... one day they will adorn her beautiful purses. Check her shop and her blog!

I bought a jewelry stamp last month and here's something I made using it. Aluminium, silver,silver plated copper and vintage glass pearls.

I also have been busy gardening, hunting treasures at the flea market ( well they must be "treasures" when you see the prices asked ! I managed to get some cool religious medals to swap with Steph at Vision In Silver).

So what have you been up to ?

CIF sent and received

I received this amazing tile this morning. Dorcas made it and she got it so right. She was inspired by a hamsa she saw. Thank you so much Dorcas! Check her blog and her etsy shop to see more amazing things!

These are the CIF pieces I sent so far.
The necklace went to Lucie. Check her blog.
And the bracelets went to Dorcas. Check her blog. I actually sent her four bracelets but since I made the fourth at the last minute I forgot to take a picture of it !

I still have two to send ... No worries Julie and Elsie ... Your gifts are made but I still have to find time to get to the post office!

First a new necklace. Polymer clay tibetan necklace.

Then an update of my voodoo necklace. I wear it almost everyday .. It's becoming a part of me !

Spoiled

A couple of month ago I bought a lot of beads and scrap jewelry from Steph who has an etsy shop where she sells supplies - VisionInSilver. She added some more beads so as a thank you I sent her some old keys and a watch case. She then sent me a convo saying it would be nice to do a swap. I agreed. Both packages were sent last monday and today I received hers... And boy, she spoiled me ... What I sent is nothing compared to what she sent ( ... don't worry she will "pay back" ...), so I took a picture to show you ...

Oh she also have another etsy shop where she sells some cool jewelry - SavageSalvage.

So Steph, if you stop by ... THANK YOU once again!

Talking about etsy, I've listed a voodoo necklace ... have a look !
