Batch 3 Silicone Molds for Crafts

I have some new designs for my silicone molds that is great for all kinds of crafts... Since these are all flexible molds, you can use them for crafts like polymer clay and resin. The silicone material I use is food grade so they can be used for chocolates and brownies or other foods...

So here's a few of them that i just recently uploaded in my facebook shop account...

these (and a lot more) are available on my facebook shop account -

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!

Crackle Bead Cabochons

I'm excited to post these new handmade beads in the shop!!! I got new materials yesterday and immediately started playing with them. Alchohol inks are the best..and mixed in with gold leaf...all i can say is WOW!

So here is the first batch..to be posted in my fb album...

Crackled Earthly Sunset Cabochons...

Here's a peek at the process...

And this is what is wrapped around pieces of scrap clay and turned into different cab shapes. 

They look great put in a setting like this...

Lovely Vintage Style Necklaces

Its the end of the week again and I'm looking over my to-do list for the week...and it seems there's just always not enough time to finish everything. I have yet to go to my supplier for resin...but i decided to go there tomorrow! I can't let another week pass without putting them in my shop...I mean there's soo much you can do with resin...its quite exciting....

One of my friends, Melody of Crafting Time used my Vintage Waterhouse Women Digital Collage Sheets (find them here) and created these four lovely necklaces....

I really love the earthly plus vintage feel to these pieces....

Melody is an amazing polymer clay artist and sometimes she also incorporates resin in her works. She and her mom work together to make such beautiful, one of a kind pieces.  You can check out her fan page - CRAFTING TIME

Thanks for the pictures, Lody :-)

Filigree Frenzy

I have stocked the shop with a bunch of really pretty filigree!!! Most of them are in antique gold and very vintage looking! I loooove them!!!

I think they are perfect for clay creations!!! I tried one of my handmade applique cabochons on it and i think it definitely looks fab!!! What do you think?

Oh and I think I'll start making more of these cabochon..applique cameos so I can stock them in the shop as well...They're very vintage too, I think!  And can you imagine the beautiful pieces you can make with each being one of a kind!!! 

Don't forget to stop in at my online shop on facebook -

New Crafty Supplies for the New Year

Happy New Year everyone! I've started stocking up the online shop with new and oh so cute crafty supplies. Right now, I'm concentrating on having a complete line of jewelry making supplies, which will include special kits with tutorials.  Once I complete that then I can expand and have other supplies for clay and felt crafts...

Actually sooo many ideas for the shop this year and I hope to reveal them all here in my blog as I go along with it. I'm trying to really get serious about this home based business which means getting strict on the record keeping. So far, I've managed to write up some plans and am doing a pretty good job writing all the expenses down. I have also set up my craft room...although, its still quite a mess in there. I do need a few more cabinets for organization, some small tables and nice comfy chair to complete the setup. But, so far its usable and it gives me a separate space to do my work in. (Pictures of the craft room to follow!)

So, today, I wanted to share a few new supplies that are available and have been posted. I won't be posting it on my etsy since I don't want to have to pay for the listings. But, they are available on my FB page. If you are interested to buy, just send me a list and I will bill via paypal!!!

Lots of nice settings....perfect to make your own pendants from polymer clay.... 

You can check all of these out at my FB account - http://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=100003218757328. The albums should be viewable becasue i have them as public...but do add me up to keep updated - www.facebook.com/earthlyjewelsbeads
