Kilt Brooch Loaded with Funky Charms

This brooch was made using a silvertone chain wrapped around a kilt pin. I then added various charms in brass, plastic and metal. I mixed new, vintage and broken jewellery to create a lovely unique piece.

It is listed in on my website www.fraggiesfripperies.co.uk if you would like further details.

Beaded Rings and Charm Bracelets

I went a bit crazy last week and ordered far too many beads and charms - oh well you can never have enough eh? I have various stashes hidden around the house so my partner doesnt cotton on to how much I spend.

My favourite buy has to be some vintage charms and cameos. I should have something to show you soon.

With some of my 'stash' I made some lovely beaded rings and a loaded charm bracelet. Charm bracelets are so fun to make I love packing the chain with unusual, interesting bits and bobs.

Here are some examples all of which are listed on my website with more details http://www.fraggiesfripperies.co.uk/

Apologies for the photo quality, something isnt working properly - what? I have no idea :)

Beaded Rings - 'Bling Rings'

One of the items of jewellery I love making the most are beaded rings or 'Bling Rings'. They are so versatile, you can create any look and well the bead and colour combinations are endless. I do some that are a standard colour and style but most are one off pieces, unique. I love randomly picking beads and seeing where it takes me sometimes the most random combinations turn out to look the best.

Here are some examples of past and present creations:

Prices start from £2.49 excluding p&p

Fraggies Millinery

After two years of neglecting my millinery passion I have finally created some headwear. :) Its great to be back doing it, my head is filled with felt and tulle and its great!!!

This piece was made using merino woolfelt fused together and shaped into a fascinator base. I then stole... I mean borrowed my daughters pipe cleaners and attached them to the felt.

This piece was again made with fused merino felt with a yellow net sunburst and net Dior roses.

I know they are not exactly 'Mother of the Bride' material but it was fun to do. I usually find after creating a piece a more 'ready-to-wear' design will evolve from it.
I am currently working on my third piece so watch this space for more pictures.

Fraggie :)
