Folksy Friday - Jewelled Variety

After posting about branching out from silver the other day, I felt it was worth a look around Folksy to see what other jewellers are creating by not using silver. Mostly...

As you can imagine, it was pretty inspiring. So here's a Folksy Friday of jewelled variety.

1. Aqua floral fabric necklace by Jewels by Susan
2. Heart shaped pendant by Skylark Lane
3. Sea glass and copper earrings by Celtic Shore
4. Polymer clay and silver necklace by Clare Lloyd Jewellery
5. Daisy glass pendant by Elle & Pea
6. Wood pendant by wood-n
7. Copper flower pendant by LO Designz
8. Bird ceramic brooch by Little Brick House
9. Amethyst and grey felt necklace by Anna King Jewellery

Fabric, pewter, paper, resin, sea glass, copper, polymer clay, glass, flowers, wood, copper clay, ceramic, felt. And some silver, just for good measure. All beautiful. I call that very inspiring.

Folksy Friday - Spring Flowers

I've not done a Folksy Friday post in a while but I fancied collecting some flowers this morning, and collecting them in silver too. I've done a jewellery flower collection before so I'm wondering if this is my weak spot...

Folksy Friday - Tick Tock

It's coming close to the end of October and it feel very autumnal and Hallowe-eny. Mists are descending and spider's webs appear while your back is turned. I even found a spider (sans web) in my car the other day, tucked happily behind the sun visor... You can imagine how much fun that was...

It's also the time of year in the UK when the clocks go back, causing general confusion but also a wonderful feeling on Sunday morning when you realise you can fairly claim an extra hour of sleep.



In honour of the much-valued extra hour, I've collected together a few wonderful clocks from Folksy, any of which I'd love to own, provided they don't tick. I don't know if I'm alone in having a general loathing of ticking clocks and have even been driven to remove batteries in the past, just to get some relief from this strange ailment. So, to rephrase, I'd love any of the above clocks, as long as they tell me the time, but very, very quietly.

Click through on the clocks to go to their individual Folksy pages.

To all in the UK, enjoy that precious hour ...
