I really love this bracelet. It has such a classy feel. The white zig zag that dominates is really striking. So I wanted a classy sort of photoshoot too!
On the right is a lovely black shawl a friend knitted for me. The wool is a black sparkly chenille and its so warm. This particular friend was my favourite person to bead and chat with a mug of peppermint tea. She moved just before lockdown however and I won't get to that much any more. She will be opening an amazing shop in Dulverton soon called No. 17, The High Street. Obviously with the current situation, she cannot open yet, but I have seen the photos and I know she is going to have a ball!
On top is an infinity scarf I brought in Canada from a really lovely shop some friends took us to, somewhere between Ottawa and Montreal. It also sold really beautiful bedspreads. It's a really lovely light scarf and one of my favourites.
Below the shawl and scarf is a beaded lariat to a deign by Heather Kingsley-Heath called That Lariat. I love it so much I have made three! I really like lariats and this one is so classy. I choose to edge them in little Swarovski crystals which really gives so much shine but not in a really obvious way. This is a necklace that twinkles as it moves.
The glass is a really old Ikea purchase from when I first left home. It's a lovely flute with frosted stars on it. It's not alcohol in my glass though, but Kombucha. I love Kombucha. I first tried it a few years ago in Canada and since then it has been becoming much more common in the UK. This one is a Raspberry and Elderflower by Equinox. My favourite is the Pink Grapefruit and Guava but it's always the first to go when I get a selection box.
The hands are an incense holder and were an ebay purchase. I like the feel of peace and mediation they have. They are I believe buddhist in design and the item description includes the word Guanyin. According to Wikipedia, Guanyin is the most common translation of the bodhisativa associated with compassion and mercy.
The little horse is by an etsy seller called Demiurgus Dreams who sells the loveliest creatures. Some like the horse are painted but there are also plain white animals too which you could paint if you wanted. I have a set of tiny white foxes which I won't paint and they look lovely in my print case.
The last item you can just see on the right is a candelabra that holds three candles. This was a more recent Ikea purchase and has the look of pipework. I have two of these, either side of my fireplace. You can see it better in the second picture.
The second picture has a couple of different items in it. The picture is a print I brought for my husband and it's silver ink on black paper. It was part of a series produced by an etsy seller called Print to the People as part of a 10th anniversary series. This one is by an artist called Bev Coraldean. My Dad was a printer and there is something about prints that I love.
In front is a snow globe with a spaceman inside! This was from Tesco and I love it.
