Floral Mondays :: Chase Away Those Monday Blues!

August 23, 2010 | 1 Comment

Things have been somewhat blue around here. Not because I’m feeling down or under the weather but really, the extremes in the weather. One moment it is all blue skies and blazing hot, and the next dark and cloudy with heavy raindrops pelting down. So this week’s Floral Monday will be dedicated to the blue [...]

a real flower, beautifully preserved
Many more items to photograph, edit and list. Sometimes I wish I have an elf or two in the workshop. Not the little imp that babyK is growing into. With Jayden back in school, we are readjusting our routine yet again. Orders are still being processed within the 3 day (usually [...]

Completed :: Country Road

From this…

to this!

Country Road sure took longer than I expected. A whole lot more patience and time. It felt like a zillion wrappings were made. I’m quite glad to see it all done up. It was sitting there nagging at me for the longest time.
This bracelet is full of tiny teeny andalusite rondelles. A lovely [...]

As promised… bracelets are coming back to the store! I have been struck once again by the simple beauty of bracelets to want to make them again. I used to hate making them because it was so difficult with different sized wrists and all but seeing some pretty ones (in tutorials and in stores) just [...]

I haven’t quite been doing bracelets for a bit but when I saw this chain sitting innocently in the supply store, I *knew* that a small collection of bracelets would be on the cards. So here is the first in the series. A antique gold plated pewter charm of a charming bear carrying a single [...]

summer swirl

Couldn’t quite get the cheery mix out of my head. So here’s a bracelet featuring the same Swarovski bicone centred Czech glass. This time paired with Swarovski pearls for a dash of fun, straight off the cuff!
Wear it by itself, or matched with Summer Cocktail! Either way, it adds a refreshing boost of colour to [...]

celebrating love

-:: a celebration of love ::-
Some time in December I received a customisation request from a customer to make a set of 6 bracelets for her bridesmaids (and herself). Something to commemorate her ROM, to thank her dear friends for their help, to celebrate their friendship and to remember her special day (of course).

at the beach

I am beginning to feel like I just spent a day at the beach. After spending an afternoon working on these bracelets for a really lovely customer, I must say I am pleased with the result of all these starfish staring back at me. I sure hope she likes them. More eye candy available at [...]

… and we are busy rushing orders out so that they reach in time for the special day. We are dealing mainly with the local orders right now as the 6-10 working days (normal, best possible time) transit of packages to the States is really really rather tight.
We are pleased to say though, that there [...]
