My Journey of Jewellery Making

Love is in the air!

I have been sick for whole week since last week, and I got no mood to bead at all! No to talk about blogging! But I feels better now, and the beading bug has back! I have made a lot of stuffs. Great that the need to beads has come back to me!

Firstly, this is a necklace that I have made:



This "A necklace for ME!" is actually made before I fell sick. But I just photographed it today. I spend quite a lot of time for this piece of necklace because I never feel satisfied for the beads combination that I chose. Well, this is final and I love it a lot. Do you feel the same?

Yesterday, I feel the need to bead so much! And I have been wanting to use my copper wire on a piece since I have got so much of the wire, thanks to my bf who thoughtfully search those wire for me! I sat down running through my crystals, choosing the perfect colour to match my copper wire and I have made a necklace!



This necklace is made of many Swarovski 4mm Bicones in Topaz, with Swarovski 14mm Crystal Heart Pendant as the feature bead. Look at the centre where all the chain of beads connect, is a plier loop wire pattern. Do you think it is nice? I kept thinking of my bf yesterday while I made this piece of necklace. This must be another piece of love!

Next, I made a charm bracelet.



These blue beads are a mixture of lampwork beads that I got from 2 friends from a swap. Both of them from United States. I love beads from swaps, someone has chosen some gorgeous beads for me, and its a real challenge to put them in piece! Made this today when I run through these lampwork beads. This charm bracelet swings well on my wrist, beautifully present the uniqueness of each lampwork beads!

Finally for today is a simple pearl bracelet.



I have bought 5 strands of peacock fresh water pearl almost a month ago, and haven't have the time to make anything with them yet. Since the beading bug has got me again, I made this simple bracelet yesterday. I was making this bracelet when I was missing my bf, hence the name. This bracelet is really pretty as the pearl reflects to the light. Sometimes, they are grey, and sometimes you can see some red purple and green shine on them. Gorgeous.

Pieces that I have made in this post are all in love mood. Love is in the air!

Triangular Spikes!

I got some triangle drops from a friend and I find their shape rather funny so I challenge myself to make something with them.



Material: Czech Pressed Glass

I called this Triangular Spikes because they look spiky to me. Hope you like it!

Multicolour SunCatcher

I have seen many suncatcher being sold in the shop, and I thought I could make my own! So I took out some beads and findings, and spend some time to make this:



Made with Glass Bugles, Faceted Glass Beads, Glass Pearls and Acrylic Big Drop.

Surprise that I use Acrylic in my piece? I just love the shape of the drop, and if it is to be glass, it will be very expensive! Well, actually I just use whatever I have on hand.

Will try to make more in different colours!

Strawberry Ice Cream Necklace

If you remember the beads I receive from a friend, I have used the foil beads and make a necklace with chain a few days ago.



My friend, Sam said that the beads looks like Strawberry Ice Cream, hence the name of this necklace ^_^

Do you like this necklace?
