All that glitters

Since I was a young child, my parents used to call me a magpie - attracted to everything shiny. It has not gotten better with time, on the contrary, now I'm making my own shiny things. As much jewellery as I make, there is only a number of pieces that I actually wear regularly and I would like to show you some now, all made from polymer clay and something.

Faux turquoise necklace with crystal beads:



Art sheet earrings on sterling silver earwires:


Faux jade necklace with supposedly my name in ancient Chinese characters:



Flower bracelet with renaissance pearls:


PS: I take custom orders, too :-).

Pending Flower

A bunch of pendants I made these last days:

Wildlife

.. on my kitchen table:

Knotted

The other day, I bought one book on Celtic knots and one on Chinese knots for jewellery and now I'm starting to try them out. What you can see here are the second and third necklace I made. I quite like them and they actually look even better on a person's (my) neck.
Oh, and check out the bokeh :-)


PS: I'm sorry for still using only this one blog for photos but maybe it'll help loading faster if I only have the last 10 (instead of 30) pictures displayed on the first page.

One of those days...

Do you know those mornings when you already wake up with a piercing headache, as if a screw went right through your head...?


Heart pendant in steampunk style.. I think I'm developping a liking for it.

Productive Weekend

A training and going out on Saturday, some jewellery making on Sunday.


Btw... mum, that's what I made from your leftover rocailles:

Real Fake

These roses are imitated - they're handmade by me from polymer clay - but they are real as well: the petals contain dried petals from true pink (funnily, they turned yellowish when dry) and red roses that were mixed into the clay.

Abahachi

What kind of jewellery could I make from this one? Produced that cane and now I'm not inspired. Maybe a charm... Do you have any wishes?

Guessing Game

Guess of what material these colourful thingies are.
