Find it in our wood jewelry section on Etsy!

Wishing you a lovely day,

Bead necklaces in progress

I do love the way the wooden beads look  before they are painted and after, especially the after looks like brightly colored candy! It's been a while since I added new things in our jewelry shop but there will be some new things in the coming days, new wooden bead necklaces in fun color combinations :-)

Wishing you a lovely day,
Aleka

New things in the shop

 Green aventurine pendant

 White and red hoop beaded earrings

I've kind of neglected adding the newest additions to the shop! Georgia has been quite busy, going through her bead stash and making jewelry, an aventurine pendant, white and red beaded earrings and an onyx pendant. She's been very productive and hopefully we'll get more things listed soon in the shop :-) Hope you like them!

Wishing you a lovely weekend with a colorful diy to try: paper roll flowers and cacti. We'll be making some flowers with the nephew :-)

And a little work

I love crossing things off my list, this is one of them. I (finally) finished the African inspired balsa earrings and I did two different pairs too!
I'm also working on a few new clay things. I'm waiting for them to dry, the rainy weather didn't help but I want to sand them all on the same day, sanding is my least favorite thing so I'm hoping to do it once for everything.
It's a sunny Thursday today,  wishing you're having a sunny day too,

Suprise Mail

I've had my eye on Ana's wearables collection for a while, I love the fact that it's not just jewelry but a piece of art turned into jewelry.
And today I got my favorite one in the mail, yay!
You can see her entire wearables collection right here but be sure to check out her entire shop, it's filled with eye candy :-)
Have a great week,

Monday Moodboard - Unique Silver

{1. earrings from katerinaki1977  2. necklace from eried 

3. pendant from CyKlu  4. earrings from afjewellery}

I've always been envious of people working with metal, like silver or copper. I took a few classes myself before I gave up: lack of time, lack of space and other reasons made me quit but still I learned the basics and for those few months I enjoyed working with metals a lot. So this time I picked a few members that not only work with silver but also pair it up with different materials: silk fabric, gemstones and porcelain are combined so well with the silver part and make a truly unique creation.

You can see more moodboards right here!

Have a great week,

Aleka

Progress

Hello March, now that you are here won't you bring some sunshine I'm really tired of all the cold and rain. Thank you :-)
On my desk today working on some houses to be made into brooches, still to be painted are the roofs, windows and doors and also these earrings from colorful waxed cords. Plus there is one more project in progress that needs to be worked on a bit more before it's photographed :-)
Catching up with my reading list of blogs that I follow, I came up with this list of things I found on the internet:
 a lovely desktop calendar for this month
 the most amazing silver jewelry, really they are
 tell me a story, from Camilla Engman
 a wonderful DIY project making colorful chalkboard paint
 this song

Snowy days

It's been a freezing cold week, today there was even a little snow falling too. Too little to actually consider it as snowing but unfortunately it has been too cold to be able to work in the studio. So I've been looking around the internet and have collected a lot of ideas of things I want to try:
  making snow globes, not Christmas ones but with a more general theme so I can have them in the house all year long :-)
  making some shrink plastic fishes, got jealous seeing Evdokia's kitty and bird!
  finish some paper mache houses I've had them unfinished for almost a year now, it's about time I think ;-)
  draw on pebbles, I collected a few last time I was at the beach so that I could do this project.
These are just a few of ideas bubbling in my head, hopefully some will actually become real!

There is still a sale going on in our shop, 20% off on selected items, like the green necklace you see in the photo.
Have a great week

Sales sales sales

We decided to have a month of sales in our shop, 20% off on selected items, some Christmas leftovers and a few selected jewelry to make room for the new things to come :-) You can see what's on sale on our sale section and hopefully we'll be adding a few more things as the days pass.
Hope you take this opportunity and do a little shopping for you loved ones, after all Valentine's day is coming soon :-)

Things are coming along

You can see we've been busy, the necklace from last time is finished along with the green one too but I forgot to take a photo :-( I love the metallic blue, it's such a sparkling color, makes the beads really pop!
Slowly making rings from little pieces of felt, I needle felted them and then wet felted them to make them more sturdy. With needle and thread they are attached to a ring base, I've got a few more to go but I like the way they look, so it's keeping me motivated. It's interesting but when an idea in my head works out well in reality it makes me happy and very productive! 
As a side note don't forget to sign up for our monthly newsletter. You can win a cute heart brooch, it will be lovingly packaged and sent to you completely free :-)

For my niece

This summer my niece was obsessed with one of my necklaces, so I had no choice but to make one for her. She's eight, dresses up very girly and boy does she accessorize! I really hope she likes the colors I chose for her.
