A Bit of a Twist..... Bracelet

I did this at the begining of the week. I beaded hundreds of Red beads on a wire and repeated it with the gold and clear beads.... and then i needed an extra pair of hands to twist it... It's not as twisted as I want it, but then again, I will be having a go at making more like this and using different ideas.

Partner's First Attempt.... at Jewellery Making

(Sorry Picture not perfect.. couldn't get light right, so it doesn't do it justice)


Well this is the first set that my partner did of jewellery making. A necklace on a silver chain, with a pretty purple shape leave..... and a pair of earrings to match!

Not bad for his first attempt.... and it's only took him 2 days to work out what he was doing... LOL I did have to help with the Earrings, as you need a extra pair of hands.

To be honest I would buy this set, as it's a cute little set!

My Blogs gone "AWOL"

Please bare with me... I signed into my blog this morning to find that half my post have gone missing, and that there is only a picture and no writing..... I don't know what has HAPPENED!! So looks like I gonna have to "Re-write about it" Then again I don't know if its just my end thats playing up or it really has gone "AWOL" But what ever has happen.... I am not happy now..... My blog just looks a "mess" And I dont do "mess". So not a very good start to the day!

*BARGAIN* Woven Crystal Beaded Jewellery Book

My First Jewellery Book. I've been getting idea's and help off the internet thought some "Linkys" I was sent by a dear friend of our's. But I wanted a book, to help me to, plus its give's me some bedtime reading.

We popped into town this morning, and partner popped into "Works" and got this "Woven Crystal Beaded Jewellery Book" at a Bargain of £1.99 reduced from £9.99.... So a Great bargain!!

There is some fab idea's and piece's in the book as I've just had a flick though.

Quilled Christmas Snowman & Penquin

Now Christmas is drawing up... thick and fast.... I have done a few christmas quilling.... Well I did these Snowman & Penquin in September.... and forgot all about them, until I was looking for some beads! They look great mounted on cards... which I used them for my xmas cards!

I have done other Quilling.... and will add them to the blog, as soon as I got though my craft bits I've done.... But I'm still very into the Jewellery making even know, it was my parter that said "He" would do the Jewellery making, while I do all my cards, beadling animals and quilling. But he hasn't made anything yet..... But saying that he his messing about as I'm typing this out!! LOL So I think I've dropped an hint!!!!! :)

Pair of Stone Earring's

My second pair of Earring's.... Made with nice little stone's... I did put a silver bead at the start and finished off with a silver bead between the nice stone's.... Looking at the picture, it looks like one earring is bigger then the other it's not.... it's how I laid them out!

2nd Bracelet *Adult's* this time!!

This is the 2nd Bracelet I made.... Like the first one but I have made 2 changes to it..... First being it now fits an Adult's wrist.... and Second being the colour of the beads... This picture taken from the side....


And this picture taken from the top....

*Child's* Beaded Bracelet

I made this cute Bracelet this afternoon. It wasn't ment to be for a child, but it wasnt until i got half way though, when I stop and looked and thought "damn" its to small for a adult. But I will remember next time to have more wire...... Not bad for my first time....

I know my little girls wrist would come in good use!! LOL

First Pair of Hand Made Ear Rings.....

(Sorry Picture not that good but its one of the best out of 6 pictures that was took!!)

Well I've been told by a Dear friend..... Shana that Jewellery making can be fun! So over the post week I have been going mad trying to get myself set up for making Jewellery. So I have been reading about on the intrenet plus looking at some Linkys that I have been sent, so I've been busy, you could say doing my "homework" LOL


So for the first time tonight, I made my first pair of Ear rings..... Nothing to complecated..... Just 3 nice beads on each ear ring... Well im happy with it. We have got to start somewhere, and its best to start at bottom of the table and work up! LOL


Comments and tips would be very greatful....... Thanks

I'm sorry..............

Sorry that I haven't posted for a while, I have not done any Craft work, since I did my water painting. I have been very busy painting my house instead........ not very crafty I know LOL.


I hopeful will start getting some bits done, but then again christmas is just around the corner so I will be busy getting all the gifts and wrapping them up.... But once I get something done I will post my result on here.

Cavalier King Charles "Water Colour" Canvas!

I've been busy this weekend, with this "Water Colour" Canvas of a Cavalier King Charles. I fell in love with the picture so thought I would give it a go, at doing water colour's I've never worked with water colour's before, so for my first time I am really pleased with the overall finish! I will be mounting this Canvas on my living room wall once, I've got it decorated

I think I might have a go at doing some more "water colour" painting, but will need to find some more nice Canvas to do!

Quilled Clown.........

Well last night I decided to do some craft work. I've been neglecting it, as not done anything for a good month and half, as been busy doing other things and my craft work is really only when I have a spare few minutes on my hands!


I was looking through my Quilling bits and decided to make my 1st ever Quilled clown, he should really be holding a balloon but I thought I will add that once its in place on a card. To say its my first clown I've made I don't think I've not done to bad! But hey pratice makes perfect!!!

Using Tulip Paint......

It has been sometime since I've blogged, but been very busy...... and I'm sad to say not with my Craft work!! But then again its been worth not doing my craft bits, as we have been busy looking after our puppies, (to read more on that click link..... http://charliesangelsdogslife.blogspot.com/ )



But I am going to be working on some new idea's, as I was in our local craft shop last week, and spotted a leaflet, which I picked up and went through and liked what I saw and thought, that I would give it a good! It's called "Tulip paint" and there is loads you can do with it!!! From doing cards too, decorating your wellies, knife's, fork's, plates, ect, even t-shirts, which I think I'm going to do for my daughter, and let her get involved, and design her own, t-shirt. Once I have done some craft bits using these "tulip paints" I will post pictures!


There is a web site you can go on for more information which is... www.tulip3d.com
But I'm having problems getting into it!!

Selling My Cards!!

I have made that many cards, I need to get selling them. I have been told to sell them on "etsy" its abit like "Ebay" but only its in America, need to translade money into Pounds from Dollars. And I am still trying to work out how to use it aswell. I will hopful get it worked out soon. But in the mean time, I hoping that we get some really good weather soon so that I can sell them on carboot's along with other craft bits. "Problem is I keep buying craft bits and I'm not getting to replace them, with not selling what I've made, so I keep going into my money, as I cant stop buying craft bits, well if its a bargain, I'm not going to leave it" lol It's a women's thing, loves shopping and buying things!

If anybody reads's my blog and know's where I could sell my craft cards and bits online, I would be really greatful if you would leave a comment.

Seahorse Beadling

This Seahorse was done a few weeks ago, its easy to do once you know how. I can't get as many done as I would like with having a 3 year old to look after, it's hard as she wants to help! And the beads are so small, I find it hard sometimes to hold, but always manage to get there in the end! I tend to make my "beadling" items at night. I have nearly do every item in my book, there is a couple that I'm still working on. They look lovely on the card's as you can see with my other post, but I think they would make good keyrings and maybe the little thing's you have hanging from your mobile....

I made a number of cards last week from kids birthday ones, wedding and christmas cards. I did one christmas card with all paper Quilling first time that I have done a card with Quilling on and it worked out good, well I'm pleased with it. I will post a picture of it, when I have my camera near me. And I will put the cards in bulk as it will be easier to post pictures of them altogether instead of one at a time. And do a write up about each one.

Beadling Card

This card was made to order for someone! It was the first time that I have done a beadling card! So I was hoping it turn out right and that the person would be happy with it as she wanted something different! "Instead of shop brought" As it was her Daughter's 18th! So wanted some special!

I did the Spider with beads "from a book called Beadling's"

And was really happy how it turned out! Over all I was really pleased with the card! And the "Birthday Girl was well pleased" And her Sister, told her Mum, she wants a "beadling" card for her Birthday now!

I've made allsorts of different things with beads! I will post some picture's on here, but need to try and get good pictures of them as its hard to try and get a great picture of all the "beadlings"

I have done a number of different handmade cards! well over 80 the last time I counted! And that was before christmas! I will pop some picture of them in groups. I'm going to be putting alot of my cards and beadlings on "Etsy" So that I can replace the stock that I have used, and get more bits! "As partner keeps moaning as its costing him money to keep buying me my craft bits" But I think that's just "MEN" LOL

Welcome to Angel Craft's

Welcome to Angel Craft's. This blog will be about all the different bits I do, with my Card making, Beadlings and Quilling paper!

I only started doing craft work last July, it all started from when we was on a holiday with "The folk and Craft group" There was a few people doing card making and other craft work, but what really caught my eye was someone doing "handmade" cards!

But the day I saw someones craft work was the day "I thought, yes I'm going to give it a go" and from that day, I've got a few craft bits, here and there. But luck must have been on my side as that afternoon we pop to a second hand shop and there was a "hand making card book" for a baragin of £1.50! Since then my craft bits have built up, but its not a cheap hobbie!!

I'm still learning, I read a few card craft magazine's, and get some great idea's from them!

I also love doing "Beadling's" which I add them onto my cards. And I do abit of Quilling, and also add it to my cards!

But there is so much to card making, with all the different bits to!

I would be really greatful if anybody reads my blog and have idea's that might be some help to me, then please leave comments! Thanks

I will add some pictures of my craft work to this later.
