Artisan Biography for danglesbydiane

I have been crafting one thing or another as long as I can remember. i fell in love with jewelry making, when I tried it and try to support my habit by selling my creations. I never seem to be happy with just one thing though, and am always looking for new ideas. right now it is cute girls skirts and soft soled baby shoes. Who knows what the future will bring.

These handmade black and silver lined gold fringed earrings have 15mm silver lined gold bugle beads on the fringe. It gives them a rather elegant look. These earrings are almost 3in. (7.62cm) long. When measured from the surgical steel ear wire, they are nearly 3 1/2 in. (6.85cm) long. They have lots of movement and sparkle to them.

The surgical steel ear wires make them hypo allergenic.

My name is Sue and I have been "playing with seed beads off and on since I was about 9 and got my first loom. I love the variety of colors they have and the infinite possibilities of creating with them.

I live in the woods with my husband and a goofy little toy poodle named Sparky. About 6 months ago, Sparky decided he wanted to live with us instead of his neglectful owner, so in he moved.
We have a grown son who and are going to be first time grandparents to a grandson around the end of March

HaffinaCreations


Bracelet made with chainmaille and one of my handmade polymer clay beads. Chainmaille is a weave known as 'Gridbox' and is done with two tones of blue anodized aluminium rings and black EPDM rubber rings, making it stretchy enough to fit over the hand. Polymer clay bead is sanded and buffed and attached with a piece of black coated copper wire.
I'm a busy mum of 5 with a love of jewellery and creating... and now I'm offering it for others to enjoy. I live in Australia.

I gain inspiration from everything at different times. I have very eclectic tastes and this will be apparent in the variation of items available in this studio.
Sometimes my family get involved too, especially my mum, she knits amazingly quickly.
Recently three of my sons, 13 year old twins and a 10 year old, decided to help out. So I have given them their own pages, everything on those pages is made by them, with minimal help from me. I am the Guildmaster for the ArtFire Chainmaille Guild, a member of the Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild, The ArtFire Cafemom Team, Australians on Fire Guild and the We Love ArtFire Guild and a columnist for the Craft Techniques Department of handmadenews.org. I am an Administrator on an online forum - Alundra's Conundrum, Moderator on the Handmade Artists Forum and a member of BeadingForum dot com dot au. I love what I do, even though I am very busy. I am happy to receive custom orders, so if you see something you like, but you want it a different colour or slightly different style then contact me and we can work together to make you something unique that you will cherish. Please note that my items are One Of A Kind, and whilst I can make similar articles, I don't make exact copies. I am also more than happy to trade.
