SHOP UPDATE : Charms

I try to make it a point to list new items to my storenvy each day. I have a loooot to migrate there and here are some of the newest ...

not only that.....i also update my ETSY shop. I converted all of my listings to INSTANT DOWNLOADS. So you can get your purchases of digital collage sheets as soon as your payment clears!!! Then I added a new collage sheet design which has a NAUTICAL COLOR FUN THEME....

Available in 1 inch circles (25mm)..

In ovals both small (18mmx25mm) and large (30mmx40mm)... 

Here is what it would look like set in a round bezel... 

And here it is in oval bezels... 

It also looks great in this fancy setting... 

Resin Demo Pieces for the Workshop

Since my last resin workshop, I've been running it over my head... rethinking and developing it more...rearranging, subtracting and adding  different concepts and demos...

I have been working on casting heart charms such as these which I plan to demo on my next workshop...

they're quite lovely...and would look great as pendants or bracelet charms or even magnets...

Then i also have the glitter hearts....which are ohhh sooo pretty!!! 

and colors of the rainbow.....

So, i think the workshop attendees would love to learn these techniques...don't you?

I am quite excited for the next workshop...April 20th...i have 2 students already and I know they're going to be as addicted to creating with resin as i am...

Birds & Flowers Digital Collage

My newest collage sheet is the Birds & Flowers Sheet #056 and #057. It is a simple digital collage sheet with basic colors and very simple designs of flowers and birds. Very lovely for pendant graphics...

This sheet is available in my etsy shop in either 18mm x 25mm or 30mm x 40mm ovals 

GO SEE IT ON ETSY NOW

Kokeshi Digital Dolls In a Collage Sheet

I have finally completed the Ellie Collection and made the dolllies into collage sheets. I love how all the colors came out.

 

Just think how sweet they would be as cameos on a pendant...

They are available in my etsy shop...check them out here.

Kokeshi Digital Dolls

I thought I'd come up with my own Kokeshi Digital Doll Collection...I worked on my first one all day. I decided to come up first with one face and have several different hairstyles and outfits for that one face.

I named my first "doll face"... ELLIE.

Inspiration for ELLIE started from doodles...actually a doodle of an eye...

Then her body is formed...

And after playing hairstylist and fashion consultant...I came up with my first dolls...The ELLIE COLLECTION.

Oh how I adore them! 

Each one has a first name and Ellie is the family name!

Ellie-Miu, Ellie-Mai, Ellie-Aya, 

Ellie-Shiori, Ellie-Chie, Ellie-Kei

Each name has a meaning...

Miu means "beauty" and "feather"

Mai means "dance"

Aya means  "colorful"

Shiori means "poem" and "weave"

Chie means "wisdom"

Kei means ""blessed lucky" and "happy"

Sooo much fun. I'm planning to make pendants from and also make them available in digital collages!

Working on Digital Collage Sheets

Happy Easter to you guys out there...I know I am a day late with my greeting. Its because here in the Philippines, Monday is still a holiday and I am still on holiday mode!!!

I have been busy working on my digital collage sheets. I've listed a few already so you can check them out in my etsy shop...

I have a cute tag, label or stick sheet that says handmade with love....

The default background color for the tag is hot pink but when you purchase the sheet, i can customize the background color to your liking..just make sure to message me or to write it in the note to seller.

I also have a Japanese Chiyogami type pattern collage sheet in circles great for bottlecaps and round bezels....they are available in 30mm, 20mm or 15mm sizes.  

and here's what it would look like on a round ring bezel...pretty sweet!!! 

Another collage sheet of pretty patterns in aqua/green-blue colors...reminds me of the ocean during summers...

Here are some samples on brass settings.... 

And last...a lovely collage sheet of vintage women ...this time by John Godward. It is available in 30x40mm ovals as well as 18x25mm ovals... 

And this is what it would look like in a setting...

The vintage Godward Ladies is yet to be posted in my etsy shop but the others are already available!!! This week, I'm hoping to actually make a few resin pendants from these sheets. However, I don't know if i will be able to since I am attending a ceramics class too!!! 

I am super excited about it. It only meets for 6 sessions so I'll be done in two weeks.I'm not sure if we will be able to create any pieces that we want or if we are bound to stick to whatever the instructor tells us to make (pottery? vases?) Hopefully, we can deviate from the norms and go with what we feel like making...for me, jewelry pieces!!! Anyway, hopefully i'll get to post pictures of it in the coming days!!! 

Well..I hope you had a great Easter weekend! I sure did, lounging around with the hubby and the doggie-baby!!! Now, its back to work!

Custom Bezels

So..here's the newest in my shop...custom bezels....

Most of them will be made to order and you can customize what colors you want. They're handmade from polymer clay with an inset of 18 x 25 inch. Great for graphic pendants or decorating with your own clay creations. Here are some closeups...

Hearts and Special Components

I got a few things done today...posted more items in the shop... a few wire wrapped bead components.
These are great to use in one of a kind jewelries because each component is individually & uniquely wrapped/twisted

They can be used in rings or pendants or however else you wanted...like these.... add a bail on top and hang on a chain...and you have a pendant...

wrap it on a ring finding and you have yourself a glamorous ring...

I also started getting ready for Valentine's celebrations. I created this cute digital collage sheet which is perfect for the happy hearts day....

The hearts are 1.5 x 1.5 inches and each one has a different design. Very cute for your cards, tags, stickers, earrings and so much more. Just print them in whatever paper you prefer and they're ready to use in your creative endeavors! I love collage sheets!
