2014 Pearls !!! Blog Hop Reveal Time

I know I have been quite for 2 weeks. Life gets busy and still trying to fill in my promise, my own programm ;-)  Not easy, huh?
But hey, I don't give up. I pushed myself and join this Blog Hop. Hostess by Shel from MiShel Designs. Special blog hop for Pearls Lovers !!! Who doesn't love Pearl? noone... ;-)

Here is what I make to shown up :

An exquisite looking necklace with rice shape freswater pearls. I bought the pearls form Indonesia. They are so beautiful with lovely lush. Each measures about 8mm big. In the middle is blue pendant Swarovski Sapphire. I love the mix and feel bit majestic as I worn this necklace.  More if you like to own it, just go here to buy this gorgeous Necklace.

The second creation is a pendant. Shine on pretty with flower texture in front and leaves texture in the back. Again 1 big luminosity freshwater pearl hangs under it.

This is the back side. The idea is to wear it in 2 different ways. 

I made pair earring to complete my creation.

I hope my crafty days are not bad at all. Hope you like them as much as I love them :-)  

Thank you Shel for making us creative and for pushing us with this Blog Hop !!!! Wish everyone great Pearls-Time ..........

And this is the Pearls Blog link to see what creations from others

If Damselfies fly to Bollywood :o)

I decided to push my mojo a bit. Erin from http://earrings-everyday.blogspot.co.uk/ creates new monthly challenge. It calls We're All Ears Inspiraton !!!

First Friday of the Month she will share an inspiration. February is Damselfies Inspiration.


We should make earring based from that and post it on our blog on third Friday of the month. 2 weeks work time :-) Then post it on Erin's blog, where another pieces shown also. Fabulous artist and creative pieces.   More about it please read http://earrings-everyday.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/were-all-ears-february-winners.html

Here is mine. Peridot Swarovski and silver wire. Wire wrapping of course!

Honesty as I saw the inspiration picture, my mind got stuck to such elegant rich and bling earrings. I don't know why... maybe the happy colour of those damselfies? Or ugly weather of winter? I would prefer to dance ala Bollywood, wear a fantastic gala gown and enjoy warm weather !!!!

Now, take deep breath...let's party begin !

New Year 2012

New Year is the best time to write down every step we like to do and change things that haven't been working.
My New Year's Resolution is to having more time for making jewelry. No, I'm not talking about jewelry business or become an Etsy best seller. Also not about earning much money with jewelry. What I want is simple: 1 time a week sitting on my chair, doing jewelry!
It sounds simple, but practically it wasn't so simple. Household, kids, daily job routine... they stopped me for doing jewelry. Lol... I love my family. They are wonderful and spending time with them is great. The daily job is important too... you know what I mean.
Good, so far my goal is clear. With this 1 day making jewelry, I hope I can try many tutorials and books I bought in year 2011. I hope I learn something new and find out my signature style. And not forget my hundreds of beads! They are waiting too long to be cute nice jewelry. Maybe some kind like this:

Silvester ist die beste Zeit, um aufzuschreiben jeden Schritt, den wir gerne tun und die Dinge ändern, die nicht gearbeitet haben.
Mein Jahresvorsatz:  mehr Zeit für die Herstellung von Schmuck. Nein, ich spreche nicht über Schmuck Geschäft oder mich zu eine Etsy Spitzenreiterin werden. Ebenfalls nicht zu verdiene viel Geld mit Schmuck. Was ich will ist einfach: 1 Mal pro Woche sitzt auf meinem Stuhl, macht Schmuck!
Es klingt einfach, aber praktisch war es nicht so einfach. Haushalt, Kinder, tägliche Arbeit ... sie hielt mich weg von Schmuck. Ich liebe meine Familie. Die sind so toll und ich verbringe mein Zeit gerne mit ihr. Tägliche Arbeit ist auch wichtig... du weiß was ich meine.
Gut, so weit ist alles klar, was mein Ziel ist. Mit diesem 1 Tag Herstellung von Schmuck, ich hoffe ich kann viele Tutorials und Bücher, die ich im Jahr 2011 gekauft, probieren. Ich hoffe, etwas Neues zu lernen und meine Still herauszufinden. Und nicht zu vergessen, meine Hunderte von Perlen!  Sie haben zu lang gewartet, um einen netten schönen Schmuck zu werden. 


How about you? Do you make a new year's resolution too?
Till then....  I wish you the best of everything...   That you so well deserve.
Was ist mit Dir? Hast du auch ein Jahresvorsatz gemacht?
Bis dahin ... wünsche Dir alles Gute ....

HAPPY NEW YEAR  und  EINEN GUTEN RUTSCH INS NEUE JAHR !!!!!!!

YOJ11 Week 10 - Interchangeable Earrings

Easy studs earrings. And I can change the beads !

Chain Maille

My first Chain Maille. From Lauren Andersen tutorial.

Material : gold plated jump rings and swarovski beads.

Swarovski In Blitz

As Christmas comes closer, we need special and unique home decorations and gifts. In Germany there is a tradition Hobby Künstler und Bastler Bazar (Creative Hobby and Art Fair), which made for this task. You will find homemade crafts from local artist or home-hobbiest. Home accessories, gifts, design-lifestyle articles, floristry, souvenirs, all regarding to Christmas and Holiday season.

This year I am joining such Fair again. It will take place in our primary school building. Yep...mostly visitors are kids, teenagers and their parents. Hmmm... what should I put on my table to take their attention and make good sale?

Heart Swarovski Pendant 18mm. In 4 colors... they are stunning, aren't they?

Rivoli stone 14mm. I saw that such simple pendants are In. Why don't I try to catch my customers with these bling... ;-)

Don't forget the Earrings!!!!! Heart swarovski 10mm as matching jewelry.

This necklace are made for 'adult' customers...if you know what I mean.. lol. Okay they are Rivoli 14mm as centre and Bicone 4mm and 8mm, or crystal pearls 8mm.

A selection of fashionable--and affordable--jewelry for teens (and adults) that's perfect for back to school or any other time. This jewelry should move easily from casual to dressy occasions. Swarovski in simple design is the answer!
Wish me luck and cash!!!! Oh if you can, come and visit me in Schwandorf, Nov 21st!

Artfire... ;-)

---------- Earrings from EmiKaz's tut ---------------
I dream of my own online shop. Ever tried one in Germany... not happy with it. And searched again..spending much time for reading every forum about that. Etsy, artfire, ebay, 1000markets,artfolk, dawanda, etc. Lol.... instead of finding out which is the best, I had headache!
But the show must go on... made up my mind: ARTFIRE! Yipiiieee!!!!!
Curious why I took it? okay..let me tell you some reasons.
1. Listing is free. And NO commissions paid out if I sell something. Yep, this is my first self-employed bussiness. I can't pay too much fee yet. Got to see how it develops and who knows... (wish me luck) :-)
2. I can upgrade my membership to Verified, means got to pay monthly fee but got more services and that's all fee I have to pay.
3. Artfire has article for comparing their service to Etsy, allowing me to understand how is the competition.
4. It is worldwide known, even Artfire has different way from Etsy.
5. This will be fabulous site and hope my shop goes very well!

Thanks for reading... Now got to find out how I put my Artfire in this blog. Oh you can see my shop if you clik this :

Flower in my garden

This is my second piece this month. Actually 'January Birthstone Garnet or Rose Quartz' is our theme, but neither Garnet nor Rose Quarz in my treasure. Have to think how I make my piece then. So took some colours of chrystal beads and played with them. Snowing outside, miss summer. It is my idea: FLOWER!
Bracelet made with red chrystal beads and copper wire. I tried 18ga wire as the frame and it's too wobbly. Need more strong wire, perhaps 16 ga?

Earrings parade.... red, green, yellow. Which one is the most beautiful?

Red Earrings. Simple and attractive. Even my neighbour order 2 pairs in blue and green. Yuhuuuuu.....

Here they are...1 set Flower Jewelry with Egyptian Coil and Briolette Flower (Eni's Tut), consist of Bracelet, Ring, Earrings.

Purple Swirly

Beginning January 2010. Snowy and cold... nice white outside. This is the 1st time I'm inside Year Of Jewelry 2010 challenges. So in a fever of excitement, let's say. But the show must go on...here I'm!
Purple Swirly isn't complicated. This is a fun and easy project, has tons of possibilities for customization. Yup...it is Egyptian Coil! This technic is something what I like this moment. Simple chain that requires very few tools.
I made this bracelet and earrings last week. I use 20ga Beadsmith silver plated and Glass beads...in purple :-) Get applaus from my hubby...hahahahaha He is my best fans, beside my children LOL.
Sorry for not good picture. I'll try to have better shot next time. Promise!
