A Few Of My Favorite Things!

Three pearls in a pod

 

SOLD OUT!

  

This may be my new favorite pair of earrings. I’ve had the jewelry equivalent of writer’s block for over a month and last night I decided to start messing around (which is how some of my best work happens) and I made three new pairs. This is by far the best of the three.
 

SOLD OUT!

 

I have accumulated lots of beads since I started this journey. This pair is made of repurposed beads I’ve had since the start and beads I just recently acquired. They consist of three types of round beads. A large pearl (faux of course) on the bottom, a medium silver bead in the middle, and a smallish hematite bead at the top.

 

Until last night this pair had been my favorite. I often wear them out trying to show off my stock. I think these are amazing but I am a bit biased I suppose.

Either of these favs can be yours. The price is right so grab them while you can. Unfortunately I only have enough of the pearls to make this one pair, so the lucky lady to purchase them can be assured her earrings are one of a kind.

£3.95 or $8.18

Amethyst

 

I’m sorry, I haven’t made anything new in months. I think I was so excited about making new things for Christmas that by time Christmas came and went I had exhausted all of my ideas and was actually exhausted. But I found some new beads a few days ago and even made a pair yesterday so maybe I’m getting back in the swing of things.

Fortunately, I have several items in the backlog that I never published or put up on the Etsy page. Like these for example. 

 

And actually it worked out perfectly since the birthstone for February is Amethyst and these are a similar shade of purple.

Only one pair available

PHI

Ф

 

Some of my relatives and friends belong to social organizations which contains the Greek letter above. Their colors are Black and White which is why I am calling this design Phi.

I don’t really know what my inspiration was for this design. I think one night I drew a bunch of concepts and then a few days later tried to make them with the materials I had on hand. I have a few Black and White designs I’m working on but I was really intrigued by these. I even wore them on a night out a while back.

This design is made of recycled plastic and repurposed beads and spacers.

Of course the combinations of Black and White are not exclusive to those organizations. The classic combination is a necessity for every lady’s wardrobe and accessory closet.

Blue Pearl

 

 

Happy New Year!!!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday. We had a quiet one. Since my last post I’ve had a birthday, I won’t admit which one but I like to call it π x 11.141 – you can do the Math. We also had an immigration hearing which we just found out was ruled in our favor. So we’re pretty stoked!

But after the past few weeks of chaos I need to get back in creativity mode. Fortunately for me, while sorting all the earrings I realized I had a few designs that I never published. These earrings are two of the firsts I made when I started in the late summer.

I bought two jars full of necklaces and bracelets made of retro beads. I dismantled the strands and started making earrings from the beads. Right away I made this pair. It’s a simple design, classic even.

 

The second design I wanted to have some customer interaction to finish. I was letting my creative juices flow when I realized I only had enough of the beads to make one pair. Unfortunately I had two designs in mind. So my idea was to put it to my audience to help me finish. Whoever purchases this pair can chose how the pair will be. Talk about one of a kind jewelry! [Will be sold with large bead on the bottom]

Frosty the Snowman

 

In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman, and pretend that he is Parson Brown. He'll say are you married we'll say "no man, but you can do the job when you're in town."

 

 

For the last instalment of the Christmas collection I present to you my mother’s favorite Christmas symbol, the Snowman.

This little guy took some work to figure out but it was worth it! I wore a pair of them out the other day. They were light as a feather, I forgot I had them on.
 

 

I used two different materials for this design. You can have it in either textured white plastic or painted clear plastic. Both designs are made from recycled plastic so you can have a sustainable and festive look this holiday season.

Thumpity thump thump, look at Frosty Go!

So Leave a Peppermint Stick for Old Saint Nick Hanging on the Christmas Tree

 

Candy Canes

There are few tastes in the world better than Peppermint! Candy Canes are one of the best things about Christmas. They can be used for so many things; decorations, gifts, food and … Jewelry??? YES!

 

 

Now a days it is hard to find an ordinary candy cane (or maybe I just get to the stores too late); it seems like all I can find are skittles candy canes or tropical fruit candy canes. Rubbish! Nothing beats a good old fashioned peppermint stick.
 

These candy canes of course aren’t peppermint, they’re recycled painted plastic. But that doesn’t mean they are any less yummy. And you don’t have to worry about breaking your diet to indulge in these cute little confectionaries. They are guaranteed fat, sugar and calorie free.

The Holly and The Ivy

Holly!!!

 

 

I never saw live Holly until I moved here, we have some growing in the front yard. It’s a nice looking plant, a bit prickly. I grew up with the plastic stuff; we had wreaths of it, and candle holders and even a transparent bowl with holly inside of it.

 

So while trying to come up with figures of Christmas holly was definitely a contender. But actually holly isn’t Christmasy at all. Holly, ivy and mistletoe were used by pagans to celebrate the winter solstice before Christianity existed. When Christians adopted the winter solstice in the form of Christmas, they also adopted these symbols.

 

 I tried using new methods for holly but none of them worked as well as I wanted, so I stuck with my tried and true source. I hope you enjoy these leaves made of recycled plastic and repurposed wooden beads. Pick up these prickly plants before they’re all gone.
