The Twisted Kitty

It's been cold and rainy the last few days but this afternoon the sun is back so I'm enjoying the early evening sun.

Pictured are my chakra suncatchers which are now available in my Etsy store.

These tassel earrings are a beautiful shade of salmon pink and work beautifully paired with copper tassel cones. All made up ready to find their new home in my Etsy store. Link in bio.

So hard to capture, but check out that blue sparkle on this pretty Moonstone pendant I made up this morning for an order. ✨

Excuse my wrinkled fingers, I spent an hour polishing and oxidising some pendants and it made my fingers go all wrinkley.

This pendant, and matching earrings are now on their travels to their new home. Safe travels little jewellery set. 🤍

They are out the electroforming bath and they are looking gorgeous. I'm so happy with the bark like texture that has been created.

Now next step (hopefully tomorrow), I need to polish, buff, oxidise, polish again and then finish these off with some sealant.

Last year I started to work on a new star burst design pendant, I got really into this design and even sold a couple and then got distracted by other projects...

I've now found the momentum to re-visit and start to list some of these, I'm currently working on some moonstone versions as it's June's birthstone. 🤍

Hope everyone has had a lovely start to their weekend. ✨

My encased fern pendants are now in the electroforming bath, I put them in this morning so fingers crossed they should be finished by tomorrow evening /Sunday morning. 🌿

I just need to keep checking on them to ensure the copper is growing consistently and that the ampage is set correctly. This is always the scary part in the process for me. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Another pair of Tigers Eye stud earrings have been packaged up and on their way to their new home. Safe travels little earrings.

Time to make up some more stock. ☺️

Since I only make my jewellery when I can find spare time, and I have two lovely little boys to play with when they aren't at school, a Tuesday - Friday job, and trying (and failing) to keep the house tidy it takes weeks sometimes between working on pieces that take a little longer.

A prime example are my fern pendants, they are slowly coming together though. Pictured is my next step in the process, painting the elements I want to 'grow' copper on in conductive paint. I'm hoping to get these electroformed very soon.

A huge thank you to this lovely customer for taking the time to leave such a kind review. Every single review means so much to my small business and helps others discover my handmade creations. 💛

Knowing that something I've made has brought a little happiness to someone is the best feeling. Thank you for your support, your orders, your kind words, and for being part of this journey with me.

I appreciate each and every one of you more than you know! 🥰

A new month arrives with longer days, softer evenings, and an invitation to slow down.

To savour the light, reconnect with what feels good in your body, and to nourish your spirit with the things that bring you joy, peace, and energy.

Let this be a month of gentle moments, mindful choices, and creating space for yourself... without guilt, without rush.

Here's to welcoming June with open arms and an open heart. I wish you all a wonderful month ahead. ✨

What are you calling more of into your life this month?

Tonight if you look up you may be lucky enough to see the second full moon of this month; as long as the sky's are clear.

The moon officially became 'full' at 09.45 BST this morning.

The term 'Blue Moon' does not come from its colour but from the name given to a second full moon in a calendar month.

I had to share what my peacock dangle earrings look like in the sun, just look at those bright, almost fluorescent greens and blues. Soooo shiny. ✨

Nature really does have the best colour palette. 🎨

Green silk tassels with copper (or silver filled) coil caps. I have 8 green options available, only a couple in each shade though. Once gone they are gone.

Who doesn't love a green and copper pairing?! 💚

Another pair of peacock feather dangle earrings made up, packaged up, and on their way to their new home. Safe travels little earrings.

I hope everyone here in the UK is coping OK with this heat, apparently it was 32°c in my garden today. 🥵

Another share of my chakra suncatcher made with gemstone beads for the chakras, and glass faceted beads to catch the sunlight to create magical rainbow sparkles. ✨

I have one of these in my kitchen window and the sun over the last few days have created dancing lights everywhere.

I received an order for one of my rose quartz, copper spiral pendants. All wrapped, hammered and oxidised and now all packaged up ready to be posted off.

I just love the look of the polished, oxidised copper against the pink of the stone, they work so beautifully together.

Safe travels little pendant. 🩷

I haven't shown my face for a while so I thought I'd say hi. ☺️

I am not very confident in front of the camera which is why I tend hide behind it but I couldn't resist sharing a shot in the sun.
