So many things to do so little time!
Instead of backtracking my lack of posts, I’ll give you a brief overview of some of the pieces i’ve made for my winter collection.
I’ll be back in a few to post more! stay tuned!
I can start feeling the Christmas spirit with all the greens, and reds and blues and white!
Coming soon
It’s a lazy, quiet Sunday morning. I’m done with the household chores, have given the little one his bath, and now we sit side by side as I listen to him read his books. I, on the other hand, have my coffee mug at my side as I go through hundreds of photos I’ve taken the past few days of new pieces that I’ll be posting over the next few weeks. However, excitements get me as I can’t wait to share with you what’s in store. 🙂
So, just for you, loyal readers, you get a sneak peek of up and coming pieces from me 🙂
“Kaleidoscope”
Except for the “Kaleidoscope” necklace, everything here has not yet been posted. Should you be interested in one, please do drop me a message either here or send me a convo here 🙂
Classic Weddings Part II
Ashlie requested for a grass-green jewelry set composed of a pair of earrings and bracelet for her 5 bridesmaids. The wedding colors are purple and green. I presented her with this:
THE EARRINGS: Crocheted sterling silver wire formed into discs surrounded by green swarovski crystals with smooth amethyst rondelle in the middle. Size 1 inch in diameter. Dangler earring that is very elegant and organic earrings. Sturdy construction but very lightweight.
BRACELET: Austrian crystals wire wrapped with sterling silver wire.
Ashlie loved the idea and request for a bridal headpiece. All she said was that she wanted it white and sparkly.
edit:
Ashlie received the package already!
The color for 2010: Turquoise
I have always been fascinated with this gemstone and if I remember correctly, it was the first gemstone I ever worked with!
The ancient Egyptians used turquoise in jewelry. It’s color ranges from greenish-blue or pale sky blue. The name means “Turkish stone” as it came to Europe by way of Turkey. Turquoise was mined more than 6,000 years ago in Sinai and is one of the oldest protection amulets, and was also known as a symbol of wealth in many ancient cultures.
If given a turquoise by a loving friend, that stone would protect the wearer from negative energy and bring good fortune. The turquoise is the symbol of friendship. It also brings peace to the home.
This stone is a very personal and meaningful stone to one who wears it. It takes on the characteristics of the owner.
The baghag, one of my daily blog reads, said that turquoise is the color for 2010. And thus, in honor of this beautiful stone, I’d like to share with you a few creations. Enjoy!
Things to do this weekend
1. Go to my supplier. I’ve to get the stones for a wedding. It’s a huge order so I think I’ll need two trips for this, plus I ran out of solid gold wire and earring posts.
2. Visit my sister. She’s going to borrow a few pieces for a premiere night. I’m thinking of lending her the following:
