Bridal Jewellery. Wedding Jewellery

Bridal jewellery is special, has to be perfect and has to be stunning and also compliment the brides outfit.

Bridal jewellery was also worn by the ancient Egyptian Bride and yes she did wear white. Very often her outfit would be covered in beaded netting, however even though the bride wore white there is no evidence that a wedding ceromony ever took place back in ancient ancient Egyptian times.

My first item of bridal jewellery had to be just perfect and something for a bride to treasure and compliment her outfit but still keeping with Egyptian inspiration in mind.

I chose some lovely cream vintage lace then went on to hand embroider seed beads individaully and carefully on to the lace. The result is as follows. I just wish I was getting married again as I would love to be the wearer of it if it was my wedding day.

I hope to create a few more pieces with the bride in mind you can view the latest bridal jewellery on my new web page.

Micro Macrame Jewellery

Micro macrame jewellery is just awe inspiring and I am afraid I am addicted. I recently introduced hemp jewellery into my collection and I have been carrying on working with hemp and other macrame yarns but using more complex micro macrame knotting techniques to produce my latest collection. If you haven't yet tried micro macrame yourself please take time out to give it a try. Warning it is very adictive.

Here are a few of my latest designs. Please book mark my webpage.

Au Natural

Au Natural. I love things made from natural resources and when I received a message to tell me that one of my natural hemp bracelets had been featured in this Au Natural treasury on Etsy I was delighted.

Just two hours later this Au Natural treasury hit the front page on Etsy. Needless to say I was overjoyed.
Please take a look at the items in this treasury they truly are delightful.

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.

The Bakewell Show




The Bakewell Show is one of the oldest agricultural shows in the UK it has around 200 years of history and is a wonderful day out for all the family. It is held in the beautiful peak district of Derbyshire and has entertainment for all the family to enjoy. This year it is to be held over 2 days August the 3rd and 4th.

Amongst many of the horse classes they hold every year this year they are holding classes for ex race horses. These classes are organised through the Ex Racers Club which is a non profit organisation for ex race horses. I actually founded this organisation around 6 years ago and I also have an ex race horse too but more about him on another post. I am very proud to say I am also sponsoring these classes too in Egyptian Inspirations name. If you are in the area or looking for a great day out them go along you won't be dissaponted.

O'h and the answer is yes. That is my horse in the picture above.
