The yellow stone in the middle is dedicated for sun. What else? Lol....

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 ..........

I learn crochet.

It began as my son, William, got beginner crochet in craft lesson in the school. He is at 4th grade primary school. Last monday, he showed me the chain stitch. 20cm long.... and 1,30m in 4 days !!!! He loves crochet :-)  and I don't know anything about crochet :-(
So I arranged a small workshop with a friend, who is doing crochet for more than 15 years. William and I went to her on Saturday and learned our corporated crochet. Took about 3 hours (beside laugh and funny things) and we are ending with half woll hat / beanie. It was really Fun!!!! William is totally happy, me too.


The 2 colors belongs to William. The blue one is mine. They use difference yarn.. mine is thicker than William's.

 This white flower is my next adventure. It looks terrible. Need more days and time ;-)


If our wool hat ready, I promise to show you. But I don't know... when!

1st time using kiln at home (zum 1.Mal mein Brennofen nutzen)

I bought a small kiln. The cheapest and smallest I can get here in Germany. Yesterday was my test and I was sooo nervous!!
Ich habe ein kleine Brennofen gekauft. Der billigste und kleinste, der ich hier in Deutschland gefunden kann. Gestern war mein Probe mit dem Brennofen und ich war soooo aufgeregt.


3 rings, 1 with yellow zircon. 2 leaves and 1 'Love' tag. Really proud that they are out without any pop. Lol....
I put them in cold kiln, then heated slowly til 700°C (1292°F). Let 10 mins at that temperature. And slowly the temperature went down. Took them out as my kiln reached 200°C (392'°).
3 Ringe, 1 mit gelbem Zirkon. 2 Blätter und 1 'Love' Anhänger. Ich bin wirklich stolz, dass sie ohne irgendeine Explosion o.ä. fertig geworden sind. Ich habe sie in den kalten Brennofen gelegt, dann langsam auf 700°C erhitzt. Habe sie 10 min bei dieser Temperatur belassen und langsam wieder die Temperatur verringert. Ich habe sie rausgenommen bei 200°C.

This ring needs 20g clay. Ring shank 10g and the decorations (flower and leaves) 10g. It should be my best ring, but it isn't :-(  Look at the pic below.
Für diesen Ring braucht man 20g clay. Der Ring selbst 10g und die Deko auch 10g. Es sollte mein bester Ring sein, aber er ist es nicht geworden. Seht selbst unten.

Yes, it crack at 1 place !!!! I wrapped it good with ceramic fibre cloth and also dried it 3 days in room-temperature. So sad..  And look at the rough surface. It is smooth to touch but even look rough. I guess it came from fold in wet clay. A Lesson to remember !
Ja, er ist an einer Stelle gerissen!!! Ich habe ihn gut mit weiche Mineralfasserplate umwickelt und ihn auch 3 Tage bei Raumtemperatur getrocknet. Traurig. Und schaut euch die rauhe Oberfläche an. Es fühlt sich glatt an, aber sieht rauh aus. Ich glaube es kam durch Risse im feuchten Clay. Eine Lektion zum Nachdenken.

The next ring is leaf ring. Better qualitat. yay ! For the texture, I pressed the clay onto leaf with strong veins. Easier process, but if we like to have more texture, layered leaf method is a good choice.
Der nächste Ring ist ein Blatt-Ring. Bessere Qualität. Für das Muster habe ich den Clay auf ein Blatt mit deutlicher Struktur gedrückt. Einfacherer Prozess als mit der Schicht-Methode.

I took 3mm zircon for this ring. And it survived :-)  If you see the ring shank, another wrong treatment for wet clay. Look rough even it is smooth like baby-po.
Dieser Ring hat ein 3mm Zirkonsteine. Und er hat geschafft :-)  Schöne Stuck geworden. Aber immer wieder falsche Verarbeitung mit feuchten Clay. Sieht rauhe aus aber es fühlt sich glatt wie Baby-Po.

'Love' tag needs to oxidized. That the letters come out and you can read it. The leaves are for earrings, but they ar not similar. So decided for anything else.
'Love' Anhänger braucht noch zum oxidiert. So alle Buchstaben strahlen gut und wir können das lesen.
Die Blätter sind für Ohrringe gedacht, aber die sind nicht gleichmässig. Ich habe für was anderes entscheiden.

That's all ! My journey with kiln is done. Satisfy and happy though not perfect. Proud to make it and promise to be more clever in next journey :-) Oh if any of you knows about put pieces in hot kiln, let me know. I would love to try it. Is it a kind of other way to say... next journey is ..... ?
Das ist alles !!! Meine Reise mit der Brennofen ist am Ende. Zufrieden und glücklich allerdings nicht perfekt. Wenn jemand von euch über das hinein tun von Schmuckstücke in heißen Ofen wissen? Teilst du mir bitte. Ich möchte gerne probieren. Und es kann sein, meine nächste Reise ;-)

Bye,
Dian

Teardrops Fantasy Metal Clay

The flower and leaf made separate, before I paste them of a teardrops form clay.
Die Blüte und das Blatt sind separat gemacht, bevor ich sie auf dem tropfenform Clay zusammengefügt habe.
Purple is my choice to complete the necklace. The amethyst chips 'dance' perfectly with the focal.
Mein Herz schlägt für Lila, um die Kette fertig zu stellen. Die Amethyst-splitter Perlen tanzen perfekt mit diese Anhänger.

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.
