Long time no crochet...

Finally did that 2 days ago to de-stress...

Anyway, this was a kit I bought months ago. Wanted to make this necklace last week, but was too tired.

Wore it to work..

Where cats can never get weirder...

Trying to be more individualistic and artistic with Japanese air-dry polymer clay. Who will be next in the Weird family? (That's my half-sewn shorts my nyanko-s were placed on... LOL)

Royal Goth

Made a necklace to match my black-purplish dress (which I'll be wearing to a friend's wedding). You can see part of the dress in the photo.. Lol..

Saw the pendant kit at a bead shop, but was appalled by the price... I mean, I could buy the same materials at a fraction of the price of the kit, and I still have left-overs! Granted I had to figure out how to do the pendant myself... (Which was kinda fiddly but manageable)

But you know, the other great thing about not relying on kits is that you get to choose your own beads, and you can go wild on the basic design. The original kit I saw was this sweeter looking pendant (I remembered it was some pinkish swarovski crystals.. but not the pink I like) that was tied to a pink ribbon (acting as the necklace chain). Totally not the style for my dress.. But I love, love the use of the 4-holed metallic beads to make up the rectangular pendant!

So I used some dark-silver beads and deep purple swarovski beads instead. In place of the ribbon, I chose this double-stranded chain (very cool, very gothic) and a dark-silver bail to hook the pendant and chain together. Love the end result!

A closer look at the pendant...

Made 2 more pendants and a pair of earrings

... on Monday for the sake of matching an aqua/turquoise-colored dress that I bought in Hongkong.. It's very last minute though.. Haha.. Coz I had to attend the wedding dinner that very night.. =P





Earrings were made with aqua blue and turquoise Swarovski crystals and some small sterling silver beads, sterling silver eye-pins and white gold earring hooks.

Well, I ended up not wearing any of the pendants... Felt that wearing both the earrings and pendant looked kinda too much for me.. The earrings alone balanced the whole outfit pretty nicely. =P



That's the color of my dress~ Hehe..

Shiny Shiny Earrings~~

Made a couple of pairs of earrings yesterday night~ For Passion, I'd used 925 Silver earring hooks, 925 silver eye pins and head pins, fancy metal rings and Swarovski crystals. For Digi-cool, I'd used white gold earring hooks, 925 head pins, fancy metal rings and Swarovski crystals.

Some handmade birthday gifts...

As mentioned in one of my previous posts, here are some photos of the birthday gifts I'd made so far~


Necklace and bracelet set for Alina. Made of handmade resin clay roses (sealed thrice with matte sealer), Swarovski pearls, Swarovski crystal butterfly charm, metal butterfly charms and interesting-looking chains.

The following are birthday cards made from different mediums.


Base of cards are some craft papers I bought at Popular bookshop. The 3D portions were made of different types of resin clay, ultra-mini plastic bottles and wires. And yes, those cookies and sweets in the jar are really very tiny... (the card is 1/4 the size of an A4 paper) =P

Still have some more gifts to make~ Will take more photos once I've finished making them...
(Still have my O' Crafty Day to prepare.. ><)

Love's in the Air - Swarovski Necklace

A romantic and vintage-looking piece for my dearest friend, Diana, as a wedding gift. My initial thought was to create a modern, edgy piece, but that idea kinda flopped...

Then, something clicked in my brain... Why not take what she likes and put them into the piece? Diana's a nature-lover and loves shades of green. She also has that gentle, classy and elegant look. A romantic vintage-style would look great on her!

With those ideas in mind, I've created ~Amour, Love's in the Air~. =) Totally made of Swarovski crystals, handcrafted resin clay roses, silver-colored filigree and sterling silver chains and findings. And of course, it's definitely made with lots of love. =P

Enjoy the photos! ^.^

The bluish tint is from the morning light.

As for why it's called Love's in the Air.... See those 2 butterflies? LOL..
