Hello readers! Sorry for haven’t blogging in a while, but I have finally finished being an artist for two craft fairs for the past two weekends and now I have time again! The past 1.5 months have been a whirlwind since I’ve been making a lot of polymer clay jewelry to sell for Cos and Effect and Anime Revolution. In fact, I averaged 3-4 hours of sleep per night! Being an artist at conventions was a great experience and I learned lots of advice for future conventions which I do plan to participate. Additionally, I met a lot of new people and talked to many customers who were as passionate as I am about geeky stuff, anime stuff, and jewelry in general. [Read more…]
DIY: Bits and Pieces
Blog views have been down lately, school has been stressful, reports/essays/homework still due during finals time, so pretty much life isn’t looking very optimistic. I realized I have been over thinking so many things lately to the point of a metal breakdown, and I couldn’t focus on the more important priorities.
So, I had to do something relieving and went back to jewellery making.(Note: my materials come mainly from Etsy)
Here’s two things I made today to spice up my spring/summer season:
Materials:
- Rhodium plated ear hooks (Etsy)
- Rhodium plated chain (Etsy)
- Matte-rhodium plated bird charms (Etsy)
- Small glass pearls (Etsy)
- Fish cord
I used the fish cord to entwine the pearls into a small ball, which sort of represents the eggs of a mother bird.
Next, I made this bow-tie bracelet for my girly girl days. I have a little obsession with bow-tie patterns, and this bracelet will be my newest addition to my bow-tie collection! This bracelet sure needs to brighten up my closet full of dark clothes.
Materials used
- Resin bow tie charm
- glass pearls
- Rhodium plated chain
- Clasp
Definitely want to wear this when I go to high tea and pretend I’m living in the Victorian era.
I make my own lemonade from lemons. The sour the better.
