I've got 'male'!

Time to introduce the new range that I've been mentioning.  I've designed some cards for men; there are twenty six in the range so far and I've tried to vary the style to include something for everyone.  Some of the cards are quite traditional, and others are more contemporary.  This is a new area for me; as you can see most of my designs are based around flowers and, whilst they are not exclusively 'girly', not many are really suitable for the typical man.

I won't preview them all, but they can be found in the online shop.  Your feedback is appreciated as I have some ideas for male-orientated gift boxes and jewellery too!

Happy Birthday
Cheers!

Happy Birthday to my Son

On Your Birthday

Happy Father's Day


World's Best Brother


Best wishes on this
Your Special Day

Because You're a Mate

Thinking of You



World's Greatest Dad!


Have a Fabulous Birthday



Any occasion

Many of the cards have a sports or hobby theme and other greetings include "Enjoy Yourself!",  "For My Friend", "You're a Sport!", "Wishing You Happiness on this Your Special Day" and "Especially for You!".  All are blank inside for your own message.  For personalised cards for the men in your life, please contact me via the blog.

Bead, beads and more beads!

As I've been very busy crafting recently, I thought I'd show you some more of the new beaded jewellery I've made.


Necklace and earrings made from assorted brown glass and wooden beads.

                                           
  







A mixture of silver and teal translucent beads were used to make this necklace and earrings set.







This necklace and earrings set is made from
lime green and silver beads.
  


 
Differing sizes of pewter and teal beads were used for this earrings and necklace set.
                                                                                                                                                               
Elegant silver-encased glass beads and delicate brown and silver beads make up this earrings and necklace set.

Large matt-finish black beads with smaller dark green and black beads in this necklace and earrings set.

"Namaste"

In 1990 I was fortunate enough to spend six weeks travelling around India.  Ever since, I have had a real love for the country; the culture, food, style and religion.  I was delighted to see that the blog and online shop have received visitors from India during the last week.  To you, welcome, and thank you for your interest in "Handmade by Zelpher".

                            With this in mind I have created a limited range of 'India-inspired' jewellery. Take a look here:


Green drop earrings

Black and silver earrings



Fan-shaped earrings
 

Green heart earrings

Dragonfly teardrop earrings


Frosted heart earrings


Metallic brown earrings

Purple bow earrings

Also ...

I have designed and hand crafted six new pendants made from chunky glass beads encased in silver wire. Each pendant is on a silver 16 inch snake chain.  Check them out:

Large green rectangular pendant
Large pink square pendant
Large purple heart-shaped pendant
Large teal square pendant
Medium purple rectangular pendant
Large green round pendant
