Foxgloves & Jacob's Ladder

I made a couple of necklaces last night which I'm quite pleased with. My sister had made some gorgeous large lampwork flowers which I've added the usual brass and copper to.

Got quite frustrated as my favourite pliers are not well. (see previous comment on the last post)

Anyway here are the herbal pretties, the Jacobs Ladder pendant inspired by Patrick Wolf:

Jacob the ladder is falling down
Heaven is out of reach for us now
golden gates the closing clouds
Jacob the ladder has fallen down

Patrick Wolf.







As the foxglove loves the fur of the bee
flushed and spotted, long-throated with longing,
I love you, honey, let me smear your face with pollen,
take fur inside me mouth and belly --
oh it's been too long, the sun has swung around and around
and all my dews are gone,
but bid me and I'll open sudden as a rock-spring,
I'll bloom like a wadi, only touch me and I'm milk and honey,
your rose of Sharon, your lily of the valley

Look what I got!

Well this is Wychbury's very first blog and I am posting first!

Well, I can't think of anything at all to say about me or my stuff today so I thought I'd take the opportunity to show off a purchase I made instead. This is one of Lesley's latest medieaval creations that I snapped up quick! It's Ruby and Zoisite in vintage brass with a pair of love birds above the stone. All the links on the chain are embossed, it's all brassy and vintage and lovely.

I traded this necklace with Lesley for two tickets to see Iamx in Birmingham - much better than the money!

There's another medieaval necklace that's nearly as pretty as mine in our Etsy shop right now, http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9466277 , I nearly bought this one too!
