Today, I'm making a very simple necklace. Using dark brown string, wood beads and metal butterfly charms.
I wanted to describe the forest which is represented by the wood beads and the branches is represented by the dark brown string.. and I hope to let this little butterfly flies away in the forest but also always be with you everyday :)
This necklace will also available at my online crafts boutique soon. The link is on the right side of this blog. For more details, you can contact me directly :)
Here's another result of my work, another necklace with pearls and in bronze/brown colors..
Brown is an earthy color and pearl is an elegant symbol. I combined the ivory pearls with bronze chain to leave an elegant and a unique impression for woman as well as a down-to-earth feeling. This is a "just be yourself and be present" necklace :)
This will be available at my online store soon. So stay tune and keep checking out my crafts boutique! You can find the link on the right side bar of this blog. See you there!
I managed to make a necklace using china beads with flower pattern.
I'm combining small chain and some jump rings, I wanted to show the beautiful flower pattern on the beads. They are so pretty and the color is so romantic :)
This necklace is soon to be available at my crafts boutique with other new collections. You can find the link on the right side of this blog. So stay tune and keep checking out my online store! :)
My special friend is having a birthday and I decided to give her a necklace made by myself ofcourse :P
She's a very strong woman, a single parent who is now fighting cancer. To me, her life story is almost the same as a novel, full of ups and downs and I honestly loves her and proud of her. She's still full of spirit and doing her work activity as many of us do. At the same time, treating herself with medical therapy every three months and being a mother of her teenage daughter.
I guess whatever I give means nothing compare to what she has gone through.. She deserves the best things in her life. I made her a special necklace and I chose black glass beads and combine with silver beads. Black represents strength in which I mean it to represent her spirit but not only that, I also wanted to make a simple but yet an elegant necklace just as her character, a strong and elegant character :)
This late afternoon I'm gonna meet her, I just hope that she will like it! *finger cross* :P
As you'd probably know that I had resigned from my previous job in a company months ago! (hmm I think it's soon gonna be a year :P) Anyway, although I'm not working there anymore, I'm happy that my friends still remember me hehe..
Well, one of them contacted me and asked me to make a necklace for her. She chose one of my bracelet design and wanted to have a necklace with similar design. The necklace itself is used to replace her ID card rope because she thinks that the current rope she's using is not always fit for some of her wardrobe.
So last week, in an afternoon, after chatting with her and discussing the length sizes etc, I made this simple and rope (about 30 cm length) necklace below. I delivered it to her office in the evening on the same day :)
So today is all about late posts hehe.. I've been juggling to have some time to update my blog and today I'm glad to have a little time for that :)
Here's another work that I made from last month. Another jewellery artist was interested in purchasing my bracelet packaging. I customized it a bit, he asked me to add a small instagram logo and do not want his details to be printed out.
He wanted to use this packaging for his ring. The rings sizes are quite big, so in order to fit and balance it, I had to resize twill tape rope length and also put the logo a bit down below than usual. All printed on black ink and I still use kraft papers for the packaging body :)
Hope you all are doing fine. I've been missing my blog very much but haven't got the chance to update it yet. For the past few weeks, I've been busy with my online store and some custom order.
Ow, remember that I uploaded my personal bracelet packaging months ago? Well, someone actually liked it hehe.. and I got an order from a jewellery artist who needs to make pack her bracelet with my packaging design. Anyway, I managed to make some for her and customized it a bit. I printed out her contact details inside and only used her logo on the label. As requested, I printed out in black ink and change her logo to black as well.
I was glad that she liked it :) And here's the result:
Well, I hope your weekend is as fresh as summer breeze! :)
Today, I'm going to upload a birthday greeting card with vintage theme. But since I don't have any kind of stamping tools for this style, so it's very challenging for me. Instead of using regular stamp, I decided to go digital and make my own line art (from my own photo). I created it using Adobe Photoshop and I put vintage fonts and sentiments from the internet.
So it's a vintage card with a digital touch :P
Below is the result:
The result of my photo that I converted to line art
I took the vintage font from Font Space and got the sentiment from Wishes Quotes. I created the line art, vintage frame and sentiments in Adobe Photoshop. I printed them all and reprint the birthday sentiment on the back side of the craft paper then cut it manually and put it using foam tape.
This is my original photo that I converted to line art
