More Valentine's makes

Hiya Friends!

Today few more pieces I made with Valentine's craft fair in my mind.

Still playing with copper :)

Working with it slowly coming back to me :)

Kinda Celtic heart shape

Hearts duo

Hearts with semi-precious stones.

What do you think about them?

Till next post!

Back to jewellery making!

Hiya peeps!

That was very long break from jewellery making! DT jobs for card making and ... puppy 😊. She's still silly little thing, but if I am careful enough she'll not try to eat my beads, threads, wires etc 😁😁😁.

Since November last year I'm trying to sell my makes on craft fairs, not easy, but defo selling more then online (by the way - I closed my etsy shop).

Soon Valentines, so... I decided to make few new pieces of jewellery not only cards.

Easy one:

More advanced, hihihi :

Almost nightmare after over 2 years without playing with wire wrapping techniques:

What do you think about them?

That's all for today! 

Till next post friends! 

Stones, beads...

Supermoon! Huge excitement around the world :) I tried to take good photo for 2 night in row, unfortunately one of them was very cloudy and yesterday I realized my phone and my camera are not good enough for taking professional looking night photos.

Pic taken with my phone :)

I'm still bit lazy with wire wrapping, hmmm maybe I just don't have stones or beads which give me this: 'wow! this one will look great like that!' factor, if you know what I'm trying to say here.

Sometime ago I found rather rough piece of amethyst in kind of arrow shape and was thinking very hard how to wrapped it to make pendant. Result of this below:

I think I like working with stones more then with beads. Possibly because their irregularity pushing me to think, how to reach result I want. 

This stone I found on the local beach during Summer, I like it cause is in the same time smooth and bit rough, and seems to contain two different 'rocks/minerals' in it.

Here little heart with amethyst beads I made yesterday. I think I'm good with making heart shaped pendants :)

I have really hard thinking about gifts for my Sneaky Santa partner - working on something special, hope that will be nice surprise...

Till next post friends!

Where's my crafty mojo??

Hmmm....

I'm not writing much lately... also not making too much jewellery lately...

Three weeks past since my last post... fact we have bathroom redecoration in progress, so that taking a bit of my time... Trying to update my CV - need new covering letter etc. Even haven't enough time for proper reading... Time is just flying...

Since last post I made few bits, some even nice looking - some of them catch likes on Instagram from Brasil and Japan :)

So... here's the stuff:

Reddish leaf shaped pendant - Mother of Pearl, I think.

Another blue porcelain bead :)

Mix of soft copper and half-hard silver plated (?) wire - I bought this wires ages ago and I think it is silver-plated. Bead added is amethyst.

More mixing :) Glass beads here.

Beads as above - swirls on silver-plated chain - bracelet

Little weaved swirl with seed beads and bicone bead.

Another wire mix with amethyst - not perfectly heart shaped :)

Hope my wire weaving mojo will back soon and I'll try something new :) That's all for today friend! Till next post!

Wires and seed beads

Hiya!

Few days ago I was sitting with needle, thread and seed beads and making bracelet replacement...
I was thinking about making another wrapping bracelet, but did nothing with it...

Next day I decided, will do new bracelet in orange and turquoise and add one of copper charms I still have. But in some point of stringing seed beads I stopped with new thought: 'What if I make seed beads necklace with wire weaved pendant?'
That was very tempting :)

So I stopped what I was doing and took wire as you see :)

Then started weaving and adding seed beads :)

Finished pendant looked ok for me so I placed it on seed bead necklace and result you can see below :)

Tribal? Native? Definitely with positive vibes :) Do you agree?

Later I made two more pendants with seed beads, but possibly I'll put them on suede cord.

Orange and turquoise again :)

And yellow/green with Preciosa seed beads :)

Hope you like them as much as I do :) That all for today peeps! 

Have a great day!

Lazy Tobisia :)

Gee looks like I have long breaks between my posts, bad, bad girl me....

Feel very lazy lately and is really hard to see me crafting...

Fact I made few cards lately... customer order from France - Christmas cards with fairies.

Fact I added earrings to one of my bracelets - customer asked for it before purchase.

I spent bit of time with wires and even made few nice pieces :) Sorry for pics tho, but sometimes is really hard to take good photo of jewellery.

Asymmetrical with amethyst

Another bit asymmertical piece with amethyst

Heart shaped pendant with amethyst - already listed for sale in my etsy shop:https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/464794408/copper-necklacependant-heart?ref=shop_home_active_3

I hope my inspiration mode will back soon and I'll make few more pieces to show you :)

That's all for today friends! Till next post :)

September... times flies!

OMG! How it is possible that I didn't write for soooo long?

Fact, my 4yo boy starts big boys school, so lots of preparing...

Fact, I needed more wire, bought it and received it yesterday :)

Fact, I'm bit nervous about cardmaking competition I send my cards on - right, if I didn't mention this in here, I'm also making greeting cards :) Some of them you can find on my other blog: http://tobisiasworld.blogspot.co.uk/.

Because I was bit short of wire I didn't make much lately, but that not means I did nothing :)

Little pendant with turquoise blue bead

Crazy swirls with glass bead (green-purple)

Meanwhile I was making Christmas cards - customer order, and pair of chainmaille earrings with owls to match wrapping bracelet I had for sale in my etsy shop - cards and completed set already sold :)

Yesterday I received my new wire and made this pendant:

I used amethyst beads I found ages ago in charity shop (I checked them in jeweller shop and beads were confirmed to be proper amethyst ). 

I really like wireweaving, cause this technique giving me a chance to experiment and pieces I'm making can be small or big, round or not, with lots of swirls or just few and I can change my mind in any moment regards final look of piece I'm making.
