Hey everybody! So I spent part of my afternoon designing a logo for my blog/twitter! I felt I needed something to be identified by. I like the outcome I must say! What do you guys think?
Floating Butterfly Necklace
As I've received numerous flattering compliments about this particular necklace I'm going to say a little bit on it! This piece has a very delicate appearance. Wooden, stardust and Indian/Bali beads on tiger's tail compose the majority of the necklace.
The butterfly sits on an extension of tiger's tail hanging from the upper row of beads.
This necklace also has a matching bracelet (though either go well on their own). The bracelet uses the same beads, just many more! ^.^ This unique elegant design is great for wearing formally or casually.
Simple but fun!
Eki Love <3
Hey, I haven't posted in a few days because I've been swamped with assignments but I'm taking a moment to tell you about someone who's blog I've only discovered within the last few months but I think deserves alot of credit and praise for her hard work and dedication! It's Eki of course ^.^
Her posts are so fascinating and she always has such cute and useful items to talk about! She even makes her own kawaii items which are amazing and so adorable! I'm so eager to get my hands on some of her creations! They can be bought through her online store. Everything is handmade and designed by Eki with love.
I really admire her for both her originality and beauty. I think she is an exceptional person and works very hard to put all her best efforts into her creations, and the final products show it! She is very talented. I was super disappointed to have missed out on getting the Rilakkuma pencilcase! I loved it!! So kawaii! When I get some of her goodies (hopefully soon!) I will definitely write up a review on them =) I believe that people who put themselves out there and share happiness with others deserve alot of admiration and respect. Hence why I recommend Eki. Her blogs are always beautiful, colourful and happy!

Obviously I love handmade items and I really recommend checking out Eki's creations!! (click the pic!)
Ribbon Necklace
I never worked with ribbon before but I can promise that it wont be my last time! Thought it might be a lil harder to make, the outcome is worth it. Unlike the tiger's tail or the memory wire, the ribbon is very free and has a much more fluid movement to it which can look really nice!
Even when weighed down by heavy beads the ribbon still retains many of its natural curves which is super appealing. For this piece I used organza ribbon which I believe is the easiest form of ribbon to use. Honestly, I'm very tempted to try a ribbon bracelet to see how it would turn out! It was alot of fun to work with!
Charm Bracelet
This is the second charm bracelet I've ever made. The first was more spread out, the charms hung individually at regular intervals and were mostly blue, so this charm bracelet was quite an adventure for me!
There really is a bit of everything in this. Everything from glass-metal-shell beads and also an imitation of an ancient Roman coin, a button and more!! I really liked working with so many colours in one piece which is a rare thing for me as I usually keep to 2-3 colours per piece.
The s-hook clasp is a nice lil detail to this piece also. It makes the bracelet that little bit easier to get on and adds a bit more character to the piece than an ordinary lobster clasp would.
Blue Memory Bracelet
This bracelet is one of my personal favourites! Made using memory wire and tiger's tail, including turquoise metallic cubes, jade porcelian beads and clear seed beads. Also two swarovski crystals feature as the main focus of the bracelet.
Eight daisy dividers give this bracelet strength and flexibility while keeping it in position. A nice magnetic clasp makes it easy to get on and off! Not to be biased but I love this bracelet! XD Because it's made with memory wire it never loses it's shape and the clasp makes it so easy to get on, I often find that lobster clasps and spring rings can be awkward to tie one-handed!
New Chapter
My first blog! =) A new year has started and with this I decided to share my passion for jewellery with people online. I have been making jewellery by hand for a number of years now and hope to get people's opinions. Though my initial reason for setting up this blog is to share my interest in jewellery I will probably share far more than that. I have no idea whether I'll be a good blogger but I'll try! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy! ^.^
