Totally Awesome Jewelry by GLAMASAURUS!

Skeletina Locket NecklaceToday I thought I'd write about Glamasauras, one of my favourite crafters at the moment. She's a fellow one woman business, making adorable and unique jewelry and accessories including brooches, hairpins, necklaces and pendants and totally gorgeous plugs! Of course most of the black ones are my favourite but she makes tons of super cute and colorful stuff too!

To the left you can see one of my favourite necklaces on her website-Skeletina Locket Pendant. A gorgeous Antiquey-looking skeleton lady cameo necklace.


And to the right-Sassy Sailor Nautical Brooch. Perfect for spicing up any jacket or coat. I adore nautical/anchor themed stuff so naturally this has to be one of my faves.

Below have to be some of the most unique and interesting ear plugs I've seen. I'm not normally a fan of stretched ears but these are just too cute and definitely make me want them so I could wear them! If any of this stuff takes your fancy, click the image to visit her online store now to see plenty more awesomeness!

Mothers Day Crafts I made

This year I decided that for mothers day instead of sending the usual bouquet of flowers, I'd make my own! At first I planned to make her a bag as she gets a lot of use out of the last tote I made her so I thought I'd help expand her collection with a new one, then I thought.."how can I decorate it?" which is where the flowers came in. She also loves wearing brooches, so I made them detachable so she can wear them on her clothes too. I had a lot of fun making them, I think they're prettier than real flowers, a lot cheaper and they last a lot longer too! I made them from lots of layers of black, jade and silver lace, with satin ribbon which I cut into petals and burned the edges with a lighter to make them curl upwards like real petals. Then I added lots of sparkly beads to finish them off.

I also decided to make my boyfriends mum a little matching purse with some flowers too and this is how they came out. They were both very happy with them :)
