My Secret Garden Bracelet - Pink

I made another "Secret Garden" bracelet but this time with pink tones.

My Secret Garden bracelet -pink
$19

(Incase you were wondering, I priced the pink one lower than the green because it doesn't have quite as many components and also therefore didn't take as long.)

P.S Who's watching Glee this week?? Rocky Horror picture show!! :)

Feeling "Gleeful"

Has anyone ever seen the show Glee?? I watched it last night, for only the second time ever. I am officially in love with this show. I find it absolutely hilarious and the performances are so riveting!! I need to start watching this every week!!

Anyways here are some new earrings! :)

Blue Heart Teardrops
$15

Black Heart Love

My Secret Garden Bracelet

After ordering those flower beads, I was thinking it might be cool to create something that is more nature inspired. So I found some leaf beads and some leaf-y clasps and then had the thought to create a cluster bracelet and call it My Secret Garden.

$27

I have another one in a different colour scheme which I plan to show in another post. Enjoy! :)

I love getting new supplies!

I recently purchased some more supplies from Etsy and have been making all kind of pretty things :)

Here are two pairs of earrings that I made using Swarovski hearts and some flowers.

P.S. I am thinking about having a logo made, if anyone knows someone that does a good job for a reasonable price please let me know!

Voilet Wings

$11.50

Here is my latest charm! :)

Made with heart link chain, some purple Crystazzi Crystals and pink and white Crystazzi Pearls, a purple Swarovski heart and a black wing charm.

"Love"

$16

Does anyone else have a love of Chinese symbols? This one is "Love" hence the post title.
Hearts are Swarovski as always! :)

Two Hearts Collide

$18

These earrings are on of my favourite things I've made so far. They are so sparkly when the light is shining on them! Hearts are Swarovski pendants. Both the pendants and the chain are from an Etsy seller ( don't you just LOVE Esty?!) and findings from Michaels.

More Charms

Here are some more charms I've made lately! I finally found a use for the birds-on-the-branch thing. Made it into a charm, but I'm not sure if I really like it.. oh well I figure its something unique, somebody will like it I'm sure.

$9.95

$8

Nightime Glow

Here are some more earrings! I think so far earrings have been my favourite thing to make. The earring posts, findings and beads are from Michaels, the Swarovski pendant from an Etsy seller and the hoops are also from another Etsy seller. God I just love Etsy!!

$17

Hearts-a-Flutter

Made with some wing charms, Crystazzi pearls, silver plated heart from and Swarovski Heart pendants. :)

Winged Baroque Earrings

$17

Here is another pair of earrings I made with some Crystazzi round purple beads, some Swarovski baroque pendants and some wings. I love working with Swarovski pieces, and I find it so tempting to just order so much stuff. I love looking at the various websites such as Artbeads and Shipwreck Beads. I just want to buy soo much stuff!!

A Heart and A Pearl

$15

I got this heart link chain from a seller on Etsy and I really like it! Its not too heavy and not too dainty. It was pretty inexpensive so I might order lots more at some point. It's a pretty simple piece with a Bermuda Blue Swarovski heart and a white pearl at the end. As you can see, you can adjust the fit by closing the clasp on whichever heart you want to make it shorter or longer.

Heart & Bow Earrings :)

Here is the first item I've made with my new Swarovski pieces. These ones are for me! :) I have been wearing them quite a bit and one of my co-workers commented on them the other day saying she really liked them! The color of the hearts is called Light Siam. You will notice in the pictures that the back of the heart is not the same colour as the front. The hearts have a coating at the back to help achieve the colour you see in the front.

More shopping and a new piece!

Check out my new Swarovski pieces I got from a seller on Etsy! They are so beautiful and sparkly!




I also made a necklace with one of the bird pieces that I showed you in my last post. Here it is:

$15

New Pieces!

I've recently gone on a little Etsy shopping spree..spent about $50 in 3 different shops. Today I received the first package in the mail, it came all the way from Korea in less than a week! I was really pleased. Here is a small preview of what you will be seeing with upcoming items.

Bracelet Love

$15

All components are from Michaels :) Clasp is Sterling Silver.

Pastel Pearly Bracelet :)

Here is another bracelet I've made. I got these silver sparkly beads from Michaels one time when there was a sale and I just love them. They go with pearls really well. I am looking to research how to photograph jewelry. If anyone has any tips or great sites to visit please let me know. :)

Earrings!

$12

Here is my first pair of earrings! The earring pieces are sterling silver, and everything is from Michaels :)

A First

This is the first bracelet that I made using wire, not just connecting pearls using eye pins like before. I find this quite a bit more difficult, I think I will have to try different kind of wire before I find the perfect one. I used Beadalon Satin Silver wire, pearls and a sterling silver heart clasp from Michaels, and the little flower beads are Swarovski beads from a beading website. I think this turned out nicely for my first time regardless.

I Love Keys

Lately I am really into lock/key charms. I just love the look of them.
Here is another bracelet I made using Crystazzi beads and pearls from Michaels, with a small Swarovski piece and a key charm. Enjoy :)

$15

First Necklace

I was secretly hoping the little swarovski star would fit inside the circle. It didn't. And then I decided it was ok, because it looked good anyway :)

Chain and circle pendant are from Michaels, Swarovski star I found online. Once again, if anyone has any suggestions for great sites to buy stuff, or any particular etsy sellers, please let me know.

Charms

Here are some pictures of some cell phone charms I made. I do enjoy making these because it's more..random I guess. You don't have to plan it out as much. They are really easy to make and do not require any fancy techniques. Once again, sorry for the pics being a little dark. My more recent pictures are better, as you will see in future posts.

Boxing Day Haul

I'm not a huge fan of large crowds but when I saw Michaels was having a great boxing day sale (actually it was for the whole week) I had to check it out. It was open until 9pm though, so I went after dinner, and it was heaven! There was barely anybody in the store, which allowed for optimum shopping. A few collections were half price, so I had to haul some of that. The only thing I bought for full price was the crimp beads. So I got all of this for just under $40! :)
