Sneaked this ceramic pendant and vintage tin necklace make in between training Pixie and crazy windy snow storms yesterday. I like to think it represents the calm in the middle of chaos and radiates a springtime vibe of warmer days to come. It's available in my Etsy shop. Pixie has another adoption meet lined up at the end of next week which is good news, so fingers crossed she finds her forever home this time! 🤞🐶🏠❤️ . . . #ceramicpendant #handmadeceramicbeads #potterybeads #adventuresinceramics #vintagetin #coldsoldering #rivetjewelry #upcycling #upcycledvintagetin #vintagetinnecklace #feathernecklace #daisynecklace #springblossom https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpp148iIuzs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I made the ceramic beads at the base of these earrings by creating a mold from two poppy seed heads back to back. I love the textures they've created and the way that turquoise teal glaze has sunk into the ridges. They go really well with the vintage tin that feature stunningly kitsch house plants. They hang on reclaimed mother of pearl bead chains and decorated with lantern shaped Czech glass beads.

Double-sided vintage tin pendant that I've cold-soldered with rivets that also work as connection points for the necklace. There are lots of my handmade organic style ceramic beads decorating this piece and the colours tie in nicely to the tin. I've even used scraps of the tin to make bead cap ends for one of the pottery beads. Also in this necklace is a a multi faceted opaque emerald, amazonite bicone and faceted agate bead alongside two carved antique bone beads. It's all connected together with a salvaged chain from a broken necklace made up of tiny shiny brass discs.

"Anything created by human beings is already in the great book of nature" - Antoni Gaudi . . . Spanish architect, Antoni Gaudí infused his creations with iridescent colours and familiar shapes found most often beneath the sea. Marine life is also my inspiration for these ceramic, labradorite and lava bead earrings. . . . #ceramicearrings #potterybeads #potteryjewelry #lavabeads #iridescent #gaudi #gaudiinspired #marinelife #lavabeadjewelry #oceanfloor #rockpools #seaurchin #urchinspines #labradoriteearrings https://www.instagram.com/p/CgR3hWbtuUv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oceanside tones are definitely the ones I'm most comfortable working with. I've been trying to put together some work with my ceramic beads in red glaze that I made recently and my brain truly wobbles throughout the process. Give me blues, turquoise, greens, jades and a splash of pink perhaps or yellow and I can just flow. Here's a new listing using the ceramic pottery beads I made with beautiful green, blue, brown and yellow glazes. I love the feather/heart and daisy design of this one from the vintage lucite pendant I found and created a mold of. I've also created a stack to go with the pendant above with a double terminated raw smoky quartz point, two raw aquamarine slices and an organic designed pottery bead with sweet circle imprinted sides. The necklace also contains reclaimed goodies with an Indian silver chain section with tiny heart motifs and a mother of pearl chain I repurposed. More new listings coming up.

On the bench this afternoon I’m having fun assembling some necklaces using the ceramic pottery beads I made alongside other flea market treasures. It seems I’m short of chain/beaded chain/vintage chain/funky chain so I’m making my own with mother of pearl beads from a vintage and a little dowdy strung necklace. Given them space really helps you see the iridescence. . . . #potterybeads #ceramicbeads #artisanbeads #vintagemotherofpearl #motherofpearl #rawaquamarine #aquamarine #doubleterminatedquartz (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_5I3Pom73/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yay! Getting to work with real ceramic clay in the caravan and it’s super easy to work with. It’s behaving in my molds too! These are nice and dried now and they’ll hopefully be fired next week. . . . #ancientbeads #ceramicbeads #claybeads #claybeadjewelry #potterybeads #moldmaking #castingceramics #beadmold #makingnewagain (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbfKaO4Apy7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last night a good friend and I started our new journey into ceramic pottery! I really want to make my own proper fired ceramic beads and she’s going full throw down. I took a little time to get off the ground but she’s already got a pot in the kiln! As well as augmenting my bead collection with deliciously glazed pretties, I’m hoping to make a sushi set with chop stick rests, soy sauce dishes and mini plates. Was a brilliant night at @little_mouse_pottery and Jane’s who runs it is so inspiring. . . . #ceramicbeads #newadventuresinceramics #potterythrowdown #playingwithclay #potterybeads #potteryworkshop #potterywheel #learningtothrowdown https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca1gt3oubUb/?utm_medium=tumblr
