Unique Me, Unique You!

 

My passion for customising really started when I bought a great dress but didn't have any jewellery that would possibly go with it.  This led to my first major project, which took me four hours to make! 

The necklace has about
120 beads in total!


It's constructed from individual glass beads, each one threaded and twisted onto wire to form flower shapes, with leaves entwined and tiny beads in between.  I'm pleased to say that the average piece of jewellery no longer takes me four hours to make, but I'll always love this necklace because it's creation led to so much more!!



Of course, then I'd really started something!

green and wooden beads
This necklace was inspired by a pair of sandals I just had to have but, again, had nothing to match!!

One of my favourite projects was to take my bead box into work, where my colleagues chose their own beads and I made up jewellery for them. Each piece was very different and quite personal to the wearer.  So if you fancy a unique creation to compliment that special outfit, just let me know.

Coming to zelpher.misi.co.uk soon ...
I'm creating a range of funky gift tags!  They are customised from shrink plastic and are great for attaching to the perfect gift for that special person.  The real beauty of them though is that afterwards they can be adapted as key ring fobs or mobile phone charms.
