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.
