Whether you are looking for something striking and glamorous or elegant and simple there is plenty to choose from. Your choice of bridal jewelry and bridal accessories will most likely depend on the type of outfit or dress you will be wearing. You may want something to wear just for the day or something you can wear again and again. Having something custom made is a good choice and makes it more personalized and handmade jewelry is always something a little special which is another added benefit.<br />
<br />

Chenoa is a fellow colleague on Etsy that shares the same passion as my self in ancient times gone by. I will let Chenoa tell you more.<br />
<br />
Temples, sun, sand, and mummies are some of the first images that spring
to mind when thinking about ancient Egypt. In the early 20th century
the mysteries surrounding this vibrant culture inspired explorers and
cheap horror fiction. For all of the emphasis on death, the Egyptians
where focused on the beauty of life, particularly the continuance of it.
<br />
<br />
Life is what I bring to my art and my jewelry. The deities of ancient
Egypt are often miss represented, Anubis as an example is seen as a
sadistic lord of the dead. This is far from the truth, for he what is
called a “cool spirit,” a god that is calm and relatively neutral except
when he protects and preserves the soul for its journey to the
afterlife. To the best of my ability, through extensive research I
accurately imbue each deity portrait with the meaning, iconography, and
expression as perceived by the ancient Egyptians.<br />
<br />
This holiday season my new line of sterling silver necklaces will be
available in my etsy shop ChenoaEllinghaus. The eight deities that are
currently included in my collection are Anubis, Bastet, Set, Horus,
Nekhbet, Wepwawet, Hathor, and Thoth.<br />
<br />
Check out my shop at:<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ChenoaEllinghaus" target="_blank">www.etsy.com/shop/ChenoaEllinghaus</a><br />
<br />
Here is some of Chenoas work. I am sure you will agree it is amazing!!<br />

Known as the god of the underworld, god of the dead. Associated with mummification and the protection of the dead and their journey to the afterlife.<br />

I have been waiting for some time to find a suitable charm to portray him and I think that bronze does him good justice. Suitable for a lady or gentleman on an 18 inch matching bronze chain.<br />

If the truth be told my bracelets are normally made up from variations of lots of different patterns all together. So after giving it some thought I have just created my first ever pattern. I have illustrated it through out and it consists of 14 pages of instructions. It needs some knowledge of macrame and in particular larks heads knots and double half hitch knots. The tutorial does not give instructions on how to perform these knots but there is a lot of information freely available on the internet and you tube on how to do these knots.<br />
<br />
So here it is. There are instructions on how to do the bracelet with or without a focal button. Have fun.<br />

I have also edited this post to add a further three more patterns. The first bracelet is a little more difficult but the other two are both quite easy to follow. The earrings are quick to make and the other bracelets require knowledge of just one knot . The double half hitch knot. <br />

<br />
Last week I received a huge stash of really lovely beads from <a href="http://best-beads.com/" target="_blank">Best Beads</a> and I have been working hard ever since. I am delighted with everything about these beads, the quality of them is just first class and to any of my fellow crafters out there I would certainly recommend them. Their shipping is really fast and the choice of different beads is also very very good.<br />
<br />
Now then to show you what beads I chose and what I made with them.<br />
<br />
Firstly I just had to have to have these beads as they were so reminiscent of ancient Egypt especially reminding me of my favourite building Ramses II temple and the colors it portrays. I combined these lovely marble coated beads with silver bugle beads and a sterling silver Egyptian charm.<br />
<h1 style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Secondly I chose some really pretty colored peacock oil spot beads and complimented them with matching crystals and seed beads and featured a silver plated Isis charm.<br />

I also ordered some lovely aquamarine and silver lined seed beads which I am currently using to create a micro macrame bracelet. So stay tuned and I will show you that as soon as I have finished it.<br />
<br />
I would however love to know which is your favourite because in all truth I just can not decide. I love them all!Ministers Question Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14184721093124795029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907646307427488186.post-14492739534459233822013-04-27T12:08:00.001-07:002013-04-27T12:08:17.182-07:00Jar of DirtOk so I am a Pirates of the Caribbean junkie. I have lost count of how many times I have watched all four films and still can't decide which is my favourite. Jack Sparrow though has got to be my hero. O'h to be a pirate drinking rum all day in the Caribbean and sailing the seas. I wish!<br />
<br />
I was inspired a few months ago to create a Jar of Dirt Necklace. I still go around singing. "I got a jar of dirt." When I ever I see them. I have sold a few of these necklaces already but wanted to show them to you for those that haven't seen them. The one with the key and the white sea glass was my first necklace but today I thought I would create another with brown sea glass and a pirates flag charm.<br />
<br />
\Which is your favourite? <br />
<br />
I hope you like them as much as I do and you are a big fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean films like me. Can't wait for the next one to come out.<br />
<br />
Keep watching my blog too as I will soon have a Davy Jones necklace coming soon! <br />

I have been crafting now for some time
and have my website and Etsy shop where I sell Egyptian jewellery, Micro
macrame jewellery and sea glass jewellery.<br />
<br />
My latest hobby of beach combing and searching for sea glass has
become a bit if an obsession. So much so that I have far too many pieces
of sea glass for my own use. So the solution was to set up a little
shop on Folksy. The shop is still very young but if you need and sea
glass for jewellery making, mosaics, sun catchers or any other craft
project you have in mind please check out my little shop.<br />

Egyptian collars were worn from around 3000 BCE to 300 BCE, when the Romans conquered Egypt. Probably why today they are also known as Cleopatra collars. The collars were worn to stand out, as many Egyptian clothes were quite plain. Egyptian collars were also in very high demand in the 1920s when they were also seen in Vogue.<br />
<br />
I used a traditional netting pattern on all the designs and elaborated on them slightly. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.<br />
