I love how Vintage Women look on jewelry. I found some painting by John William Waterhouse and made a digital collage sheet with ovals that would be great to be placed on some metal settings and covered with a clear cab or resin....

And here is a sample of what you can use with these ovals...

I think it's quite lovely..Go on over to my etsy shop and check out this digital collage sheet and many others!

That's all for now...have a great day!

Busy as a bee working on my pieces for the Christmas bazaar...here are my latest cameos.
Three of them...

Sometime mid week though, I lost my 'mojo' for some reason and my hands refused to create another thing. I'm not one to do nothing though so, I decided to work on something else. Digital collage sheets. I really wanted to start building my collection. Here are my two latest ones...

That's all for now..Have a great day!

Welcome To Bead Soup Party Sept 2011

Welcome to the September 2011 Bead Soup Party

What is a bead soup party anyway? Well, Lori of Pretty Things Blog organized this great event. We signed up and we were paired up. Each pair sends the other a focal bead, a pretty clasp and matching beads. And then that's when we start creating.

Today is reveal day! Join us in this party by stopping by the blogs listed below. Do leave a comment! I'd love to meet you and hear from you! Enjoy...

My bead soup partner is Noemi Baena of Creaciones Noemi Baena Blog. She is from Spain and makes beautiful sterling silver jewelry (check out her etsy shop - here).  Here are the indgredients for the bead soup she sent...

And now for the big reveal...

I made several things from my soup...first a necklace with the focal bead...

I mixed different shape beads..a square focal..a circular brass component.. an elongated oval clay bead with flowers that I hand made...and a dangling heart charm...I love the colors and I really love how it looks when its worn...

Next, for the clasp...I made another necklace. The pendant is one of my own creations out of polymer clay...

Sweet! I also used the pretty heart crystals, sterling silver beads and violet swarovski crystals that were part of the matching beads sent to me.

There were a lot of pretty matching beads left over, so I created this....

a charm necklace with my own polymer clay pendant. The swarovskis definitely makes this one look extra classy!

Finally, my favorite one..a charm bracelet with a polymer clay centerpiece.

One of my most favorite things to make are charm bracelets...and i think this one I truly love!

I still have a few more beads left over and I'm planning something special for those too! Thanks so much Noemi! And super thanks to Lori! Great Job on another amazing blog party! I'm off to visit the others. Oh and if you're interested to join the next one...find out more

Committed....One a Day...

I promised myself to make at least one piece a day in order to stock up for upcoming bazaars..here's what I have for today...

There's something really relaxing about making these styles of pendants. Although, you have to have a really steady hand to roll out and place all the little petals without squishing ones that are already placed, some how, the concentration needed to focus on the little piece soothes me. All others thoughts that cloud up my mind suddenly melts away and what's left is my creation in front of me....

And finally, when it's all done...I have this...

Delicate and sweet...each little petal laid down carefully in each position to create a little work of art...

Done for my quota for today...

That's all for now...Have a great day!

My Beautiful Heart (A Handcrafted Necklace)

I know I should be working on a lot of things at the moment...however, I don't know what it is but, something's got me down... So, instead of creating, I sat down and started surfing. One of the places I love to visit to find inspiration is the site Polyvore.

People make so many lovely collections and combinations of outifts that it always pushes my creative button. As I was looking today, I saw a lovely collection and it totally made me think of a neck piece that I created last week that I love... I call it... 

My Beautiful Heart

Here is the collection -

 

Untitled #87 by catatonia1 featuring a quilted shoulder bag

Oh isn't it just lovely together? Now I don't know how to add my necklace into the picture in Polyvore but, I gave it a try in Photoshop and I love i! The beauty of this necklace is that its so versatile that it can match so many different colors of outfits... you can go pink or purple or blue or brown or white or black....

Hm, now I'm considering keeping the necklace for myself. It's supposed to be one of my items for sale in a bazaar I joined this November called Global Pinoy. It features 100% Filipino products. Its on November 5-6 at the Rockwell Tent in Makati City. If you happen to be in the area, you will definitely not want to miss this!!!

Well, its time for me to get back to work. So much to do!!! See you all on Saturday for the Bead Soup Party by the way!

That's all for now! Have a great day!

Bead Soup Ingredients is Finally Here

I'm so excited because I received my bead soup ingredients today. I went to pick it up at the local post office and because I was so excited, I immediately opened the package. I took a quick peek inside and saw little packs of purple tissue wrappings. I didn't want to tear through it quite yet since I wanted to take pictures of everything. So, I rushed home...and finally...

Do many packages to open..it was like a mini Christmas day!!! 

Here are my ingredients for the bead soup...

I really love the colors...purples and violets. And look, a lovely focal lampwork bead handmade by Susan Kennedy (of Sue Beads). How pretty!

Now, I need to start working on my pieces for the BEAD SOUP PARTY. I have 2 days..so for today, I have the beads on my desk next to me..and letting some ideas simmer in my head. Hopefully by tonight, I will start churning...

I  can't wait for the bead soup party! Make sure you come back on September 17th to see what I have posted. And you'll get a link of everyone that's participating in the party! 

See you then!

What have I been up to?

Been kind of busy lately juggling a few things..planning a trip, making jewelry for Christmas bazaars, working on some digital collage sheets, packing some order...and so on and so on...

Here are my latest....
Pendants....

I think I will change the settings into antique gold instead. They are to become the focals for some really cute charm necklaces...

Digital Collage Sheets....

Some antique flowers in 1 inch circles..great for bottlecap jewelry. I started listing these digital collage sheets in my bead & supplies shop (Earthly Jewels Beads). And let me tell you, making them is very addictive...

So much more, but, thought I'd share these with you for now. I'm off to mail a few things.

Have a great day!

Simply Owl (A Simple Yet Sweet Owl Charm Necklace)

This necklace features a sweet little owl charm accented by a gold glass bead and star charm. It's simple yet sweet.

Spring Serenade (Turquoise & Yellow Floral Cameo Charm Necklace))

This one sure reminds me of a spring day. This one's already been sold but, I thought I'd just share...

That's all for now...have a great day!
