sterling silver macrame bracelet

New to our folksy shop is this adjustable hippie style macrame bracelet. I love this my twin sister Liz made a few and has some in tigers eye, sterling silver with different colours of waxed cord.

I've suggested also to her to create sterling silver discs with names or words in the middle so she is currently making one of those too.

These are lovely for summer time with jeans and tops for casual looks.

A customer recently asked me to create some aluminium metal napkin rings for her with family names on which i have done and also requested a set of bird, heart,flower and star stamped napkin rings.

I think they've come out really nice and look great on a dinner table. I have over 65 design stamps and can't make examples of them all but plan making christmas ones and wedding ones soon too.  Available from our folksy shop www.folksy.com/shops/littleredrobin customised by you.

Copper Wrap Ring Stamped and Patterned

Just an update from Little Red Robin. I have created this lovely rustic contemporary chunky ring with copper and have wrapped it with a message "the best things are free" around the ring and put a spiral pattern on the bottom of the ring.

I love copper it has a glorious colour and more unusual looking. This has created a striking comfortable to wear ring in a size P.

Let me know your thoughts on it.

This is my daughters hand modelling it as mine are more wrinkly!

WEDDING PLACE CARDS PERSONALISED

Weddings, weddings, spring is here brides are planning their big day.  With this in mind a lovely lady contacted me via my website a few weeks ago and asked if i could make some informal metal wedding place cards to hang from vintage crystal flower bud vases. 

A lovely idea so we planned, we discussed and came up with this:-


She will be putting her own ribbons around the name tags and hang from crystal vases but you could tie them round wind glasses or round napkins on dinner plates.  They are now available at http://www.littleredrobinjewellery.co.uk formal or informal style.  The great thing is they double up afterwards as name keyrings for your guests to make great party favours too thus saving the bride and groom valuable mortage or honeymoon spending money! Just putting them straight onto a split keyring you have.

7th wedding anniversary and copper

I love working with copper, it has a beautiful colour.  I have just started thinking of new metal stamped gifts for special occasions and have several ideas in the pipeline so to speak.

Added today to our website is this 7th wedding anniversary in copper as copper is the metal representing this anniversary, but you could have it in silver aluminium or use same idea for any special occasion such as fathers day, mothers day,birthdays, valentines, christmas greeting, love poem etc etc - you get my drift.



They make a lovely keepsake and are a credit card size so fit in your wallet or purse and every time you take money out you are reminded of your message!

Mixed Metal Jewellery

I've neglected my blog over the last month just havn't had time.  I have been adding new items of jewellery to our wowthankyou shop as it only had 5 on there so i thought it about time to put more on and see what happens! will let you know on that.

Today i did manage to make 3 items of jewellery a celtic knot necklace mixed metal

, mixed metal hammered copper and silver "i wish" dandelion stamped pendant and my favourite although i probably would not wear them myself but i like look of them is some vintaj brass dove bird stamped with an olive branch and i added rustic border and riveted a stacked flower onto the bottom.  Kind of quaint and whimsical look .


So my plans for next month are to teach myself to tube rivet, possibly made a stacked riveted and stamped ring and soldering!!! i have the torch hee hee.  My sister does all this already but hasn't got time to show me at present so i am you tubing and googling it all. 

Will show you all my efforts soon - promise.
