I Put a Spell on You, by Caprilicious Jewellery

Hello, good people, lovely to meet you again, and if you've never been here before, welcome to the Caprilicious Blog.
​The blog is a record of the jewellery I have made over the years and I can go right back to the first week (imaginatively titled Week 1) in 2011 - Caprilicious and I've certainly come a long way since!!
The picture opposite is from a Virginia Slims advertisement, back in the day when I was every marketing persons dream target - I was only 16 when this one came out and my friends and I truly believed that if only we could find ourselves a packet of cigarettes, we'd miraculously wake up looking like the woman in the ad.
​ The blurb says "Back then, the working woman could enter the field of her choice" with a picture of a woman ploughing a field - some marketing genius hooked a whole generation of women onto a harmful substance just to prove we were every bit as good as men! I don't think young women are quite as gullible today.

Magic Spell

For my first spell, I present three strands of citrine teardrops held together with a purple dragons vein agate slab nugget - the markings on the beads are really beautiful. My camera unfortunately is simply not up to capturing their beauty, even on a macro setting. When you look into the depths of the slab of agate it feels as if you could dive right into it, as if a spell has been cast on you. 
I always feel strange when I wax lyrical about pieces of stone - however, they are very special and if I cannot show you their beauty in a photograph, I do my best to attempt a word painting. 

Flutterby

This one is made of three strands of turquoise dyed howlite beads, gathered up together with a micro pave diamante butterfly that seems to hover over the necklace. 

That's me for now, folks. Thank you very much for being with me over the years, and as I said, if you've just joined the party, welcome. ​Have a fabulous week and I'll catch you next Friday, same time, same place.
Until then
