I am Sherlocked!

It has been quite a while since I've updated, again! My apologies! But my lack of updates doesn't mean that I haven't been busy making stuff! I've been busy as ever, and have loads of new jewelry in stock. :) My latest additions have been more "Literary Fashion" bracelets, using Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" books. I've been a huge fan of Sherlock stories for a very long time, and I've been looking forward to making some jewelry with these book pages. So, this is what I came up with:

First I went through a book and found pages that had names and various words I wanted to use on the beads, and measured and cut the strips of paper accordingly. It took me about 10+ hours to prepare the strips, roll the beads, and glaze them. Then it was on to the fun part...

I made 4 bracelets first, with beads showing words including Sherlock, Holmes, Watson, Baker Street, Baskervilles, Lestrade, and Scotland Yard.

And one for myself as well ;)

Then necklaces, both with a second strand added in. The necklaces had beads that showed words including Sherlock, Holmes, Watson, Moriarty, Mycroft, Lestrade, Irene Adler, Miss Adler, Baker Street, and Baskerville.


 

And lastly, I saved 2 beads to make these:

A pair of Sherlock earrings!

So those are my Sherlock creations! I'll be adding them to my etsy shop soon! 
And I will also update again soon to share more of my latest work that I've completed these past 2 weeks. :)
Blessings!
