My Gorgeous New Etsy Banner

I have to show off my gorgeous new Etsy banner, designed by a lovely lady called Octavia from the Etsy shop, "DreambyDay" I have included pieces of the banner as close-ups to show just how beautiful the design is, I am SO happy with it, as you can see from my jewellery designs, it contains all the things I really LOVE, like butterflies, flowers, birds and of course the GORGEOUS colour PINK!!!! LOL, I'm pretty sure from visiting my store you can tell I love pink! ♥

Octavia was so great, she asked me to name all my favourite things and colours, and from that she came up with a beginning design. From there, we had so much fun, changing background colours, adding and taking out design elements, changing the font for the shop name, etc. She was so patient and so sweet, she tried out every single one of my suggestions and believe me there were many!! At one stage, she came up with 10 different designs, all similar, yet different, so that she could get exactly the design that I was after.

I had so much fun opening up my emails from Octavia, each time was like Christmas, with a new design to check out and critique. The other reason it was so much fun was because nothing was ever too much trouble for her.

When I apologized for being so fussy, she made sure that I knew that was fine, she said she was having so much fun designing it for me, she also said that she felt privileged and honoured, that I had picked her to design the "face" of my Etsy store.

Octavia is going to design a blog header and background for my blog next, then she will be designing business cards for me, I can't wait for this!!! Octavia will design custom banners for anyone who needs one. Her shop is filled with absolutely GORGEOUS art prints, so check out her gorgeous work here. This is my favourite one of her art prints, called "Where clouds are born"

My Hearts and Flowers Locket Necklace.

When I made this necklace, I was determined to make a simple locket necklace, I wasn't going to add beaded sections along the chain, I wasn't going to add flowers to it, I wasn't going to add so much 'pink color' to it. But as you can see, I FAILED!! What can I say, I love PINK, I love FLOWERS and I love the combination of PINK and COPPER together!!! I just can't seem to do simple and when I do, I don't like it, it feels unfinished. Other designers can and funnily enough I love their simple designs, they don't look unfinished. Oh well, maybe I'll have another go at SIMPLE another day!!

The Hearts and Flowers Locket Necklace is my latest necklace listing on my etsy store, the beads along the double strands of fine antique copper chain are Czech glass milky pink melon beads and between these are gorgeous milky opal pink Czech glass bell flowers. From the front of the necklace, hangs a lovely antique copper locket. The locket is heart-shaped and fully functional, you can keep two photos of loved ones inside your heart! A tiny antique copper heart charm and a gorgeous opal pink flower adorn the front of the locket, turning it from a rather plain necklace into a lovely feminine piece of jewellery. You can view the necklace from more angles in my Etsy store.

My Absolute Favourite Pieces of Jewellery!!!!!!!

Here are my absolute favourite pieces of jewellery that I have ever made (so far), and that's a big call as I have over 600 pieces of jewellery that I have designed and made myself in my house at the moment!! I love the colors of the tiny glass flowers, they are pink opal and white opal, so they have a lovely blue shine on them. I also love how beautifully the colors of the beads and the flowers go with the antique copper locket and the findings. The color in the photos of the earrings is not perfect, but if you look at the color in the locket necklace, that it very accurate, and the earrings are a perfect match color-wise with the necklace! Copper and pink is my favourite color combination, as they compliment each other so well!!

These pieces are available in my etsy store!!

My beautiful daughter is modelling the necklace, as I could not do it justice in my photos, you could not see just how pretty it was!
