Juicy New Chakra Lotus Flowers - and the Website Sale

Chakra Lotus Flowers Necklace Whole Chakra Colours with Silver Trim

Do you remember those beads I showed you hanging around my jewellers bench a week or so ago?

I got them finished, took their portraits and here they are.

I had a hankering to make a really strong but transparent set of Chakra Lotus Flowers - the colours are mostly the deeper tones and the base colours and spacers go this way too.  I wanted to anchor this piece with silver rather than crystal to make it really robust looking - a statement of colour.

The bracelet is the same.  The beads in both pieces are not that large - it's really just a good pop of positive colour!

The fantastic news for you is that these new works are included in the Website Sale, so if you order them online you can get 20 percent off the price.  That means that you get $70 off the necklace, bringing the price down to $280, and $36 off the bracelet, bringing that down to $146!

Turquoise Chakra Lotus Flowers Bracelet

I've also been toying with the idea of using natural gemstones and was drawn to turquoise.  This bracelet is based on aqua blue glass (blue being the colour representing the fifth chakra), making this a piece based on communications of all kinds.  It still has the chakra colours represented, this time including both heart chakra colours, green (for healing)  and pink (for love).

There is another Fire Colours Chakra Bracelet to come, but I'm struggling with the images today and Blogger is making things difficult!  That leaves me something to show you tomorrow!

New Styles and Designs

There have been lots of changes over the past year.  Becoming settled into our new space Traders of the Lost Arts, in Commercial Street, Takaka has been fantastic and has opened up lots of possibilities and inspiration.  Murray and I share the workroom space where he finishes his handmade pull along wooden toys – Golden Bay Toys – and I have my torch, kiln and workbenches and do all of my glass and crystal work.  You’re always welcome to come and watch us work and have a chat!  The workroom is always war, even on the coldest of winter days.

I’ve been making lots of new Swarovski Crystal designs and there have been some cool new glass series coming through.  Having the daily inspiration of people passing through has been energizing – thanks to everyone who pops in when they’re “over the hill” and the lovely local community.  It’s a privilege to live in this amazingly supportive and beautiful environment.

Bloggers

I will run the occasional “Blog Only” promotions, so keep yours eyes peeled!

Shows

I took the beads up to the Dunkleys Great New Zealand Craft Show in New Plymouth over Queens Birthday Weekend in June and had a wonderful time there. Just loved New Plymouth – it’s one of New Zealand’s beauty spots, being right on the wonderful wild West Coast with its sea and surf and under Mount Taranaki. The mountain showed herself in all her glory on the very first morning of the show, so we all felt very privileged to be blessed by her.

I will do the South Island trip with Dunkley’s Craft Shows again in September. Look out for me at the

Christchurch Show at Addington Raceway September 10 – 12,
Dunedin Show at the Edgar Centre September 17 – 19, and the
Invercargill Show at Stadium Southland September 24 – 26

If you would like a discount coupon for your entry fee, please let me know and I’ll get one to you.

You can contact me via my contact details on the website www.glitz.co.nz

I am also booked in for the Thorndon Fair in Wellington on Sunday 5th December in my usual spot, though that feels quite a long way off right now.

Apart from that, I can be found on the Nelson Market every Saturday morning, which the lovely Sophie will run for me whenever I’m away.

Happy Shopping!
