Ancient Egyptian Jewellery

Ancient Egyptian jewellery is awe inspiring and is probably the inspiration behind many a handmade artist. This week I went along to the World Museum in Liverpool where I saw an amazing collection of Egyptian artifacts including a collection of ancient Egyptian jewellery. It was fanastic to actually view all of these artifacts and also be so close to an ancient Egyptian real Mummy.

Ancient Egyptian jewellery inspired me to create my own Egyptian jewellery and the amazing culture that these people adopted.
Below are many many pictures I took on the day including ancient Egyptian Jewellery.

Enjoy.

Jewellery in a Museum and shop

In just a little over a week a selection of my jewellery is now in a shop and a Museum. I can't believe this could have happened in so little time.

I firstly took the opportunity to "rent a square" in Rosewill's Cottage shop up in Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear where Dawn offers local crafters the oportunity to rent a small area in her bead and homemade goods shop. It's a great little shop full of amazing finds and in a lovely little seaside town.

Here is her shop and the details of the rent a square opportunity.

Secondly another selection of my jewellery is winging its way to Newcastle-Under-Lyme Museum and art gallery where is will be part of an exhibition over the school holidays and maybe even longer.
Here is the link to the Museum

Here are just a few items that you will be able to see in the Museum Exhibition.
