Some new earrings :)

I’m still quite lazy to post my Europe trip pictures and stories. And I need to wake up by 6.30 tomorrow to go to the office. My work starts at 8.30 everyday.

Anyway, here are some new earrings that I made during my break time (after Europe, before internship).

Azura
The name means blue sky. Just because the swarovski crystals are blue coloured. Not sky blue, but still blue. Hahaha.
I added a star too at the end of the silver chain. I might give this to my sister since she likes star shape a lot.

Tamara
Named so as a homage to this pretty lady:

Tamara Bleszynski, an actress from Indonesia (with Polish heritage).
Isn’t she gorgeous? And won’t this earrings match her?? Hahaha..
But maybe it’s too playful for her elegant image though.

Here’s an extra shot of the beads of this pair of earrings. I love the beads!

Here’s the last one..

Caritas
The name means love. Coz there’s a heart-shaped (love-shaped) bead used. Haha. As simple as that. =P

Just a hypothetical question.. If I were to sell those earrings.. Would you buy them?

Oh btw.. All the photo decorations here were done using the image editor in Photobucket. I’m so impressed. I’ve been using photobucket for my primary photo host and when I joined it was just a photo host. Nothing else. It has grown!

Paulette and Bernadette – the pretty twins :)

I think now I have unhealthy addiction to beading.. Oh noes!

I was super “productive” last time and made 2 sets of bracelets and earrings! Each set contains 3 bracelets and 2 pair of earrings. OMGWTFBBQ rite??

Behold.. My newest babies.. Paulette and Bernadette!

Paulette is shy, humble, soft, and elegant.
Just like what her name means.. (name meaning obtained from babynamesworld)

To create the image, I use beads with softer colours.. I always think pink and green make such a good colour combination.. Now I’ll let you look at Paulette!
(I’m too lazy to name the bracelets/earrings one by one)

The bracelets~



2 of them have shocking pink beads.. They still look modest though. It’s like, you know, shy people usually have this spark things once in a while?

Now the earrings!
Of course, since she’s delicate and sweet.. I still use the soft coloured beads.. Teh pretteh =)

And now give the spotlight to the bold, daring, sexy twin.. Bernadette.
Meaning of her name here.

Basically Bernadette likes pink n green too!
However, add some black beads and poof! Sexy rock kitten. Meow.

Look at the bracelets..



Very bold, right?

And what’s the perfect earrings style for a daring sexy woman?
Mismatched pair of earrings!
The first pair is super super mismatched =P

The second pair is well.. More organized? =P but still mismatched

Teh sexeh

Here’s a shot of all the earrings..

Geez.. I’m really addicted!! Help!!

Tell me what you think of my bracelets and earrings, ok?

Earrings earrings earrings earrings!!

There’s a reason why I repeated the word 4 times. You’ll know later.

Went for a basic wirework class conducted by Izel on Tuesday. (Yes, Paddy, now I know where you stay… Bwahahaha) Learned about the basics of manipulating pins (flat-head and round-head pins) to make… Yes you’ve guessed it.. Earrings! Had a great fun twisting my pins (and my hands… LOL). Buying books and watching tutorial videos just don’t cut it, believe me. Having a real life human instructor really really helps. You can know what the guideline is, you can know whether you’re wrong or right, and when you’re wrong you can be corrected immediately! If you’re interested on learning, I highly recommend classes by Izel Satisfaction guaranteed You can even ask her where to buy the beads and other jewelry parts! I got 3 namecards in hand now. Hahaha.

In case you don’t know, I’m a big sucker of earrings! Whenever I’m visiting a blogshop selling jewelries, I will take a look at the earrings first. No matter what.

And finally! I’m able to make my own earrings

Just like online shops that like to name their products, lemme name my earrings too..
(note : pardon the low quality of the images. My phone camera really can’t make it =/ )

This one with green big beads and strands of blue-white-green beads.. I name her Lisa. The name gives the impression of shy, simple, yet elegant woman.
(By the way, the real meaning of Lisa is “My God is a vow”)

Next in line..

This one’s name is “Blair”. Coz it gives the impression of a strong, confident, and outspoken girl.
(Oh come on, you know I’m a big fan of Gossip Girl)

It looks a bit slanted.. Well actually it is. Coz I used a big and heavy bead yet the pins are very soft and delicate. So… It got slanted. It’s actually different from what I intended to be. I wanted to finish this piece with something else, but ended up with those red beads at the bottom. But that “something else” will be used later…

And for the last piece!

Picture really sucks but there are actually blood-red swarovski crystals dangling there! Luv it..
I named her… Kelly. Based on Kelly Rutherford, the actress who plays Serena’s mother on Gossip Girl, Lily Van Der Woodsen. (Lily sounds too fragile to me. Kelly sounds better..) It’s an image of elegant and graceful woman.

She’s like the hottest mom ever.
Anyway, this piece is that “something else” I was talking about. I wanted to attach this fan with those dangling beads to “Blair”, but I thought it would be too heavy and too long. So I decided to make this “fan” by itself and ta-dah! Another pair of earrings!

All three of them. Lisa, Blair, and Kelly. Hehehe.

And here’s the special piece!

Named Kinski, after my dear friend who has just been baptized to be a Catholic. This pair of earrings has an obvious message : Love Jesus who has died on the cross for you. Hope this gift will always make her remember to love the Lord.

And… That’s all folks! Wishing to create more and more earrings! It’s fun!!

P.S. now you know why I repeat the word 4 times, right?

My attempt at beading! =D

After browsing around the web for beading tutorials.. And buying a book about beading.. And buying some beads for starters..

I finally made something! =D

Check out my 3 bracelets..

Pretty or not? =D
Well yea I know they’re not of the same size.. Please forgive me.. First timer.. =P

I put it on a white paper to give a better look..

And here’s another view..

All in all.. Beading is fun! It’s true that arts/crafts can make you relaxed =D yeah, provided the beads don’t fall =( I dropped the beads like for a thousand of times. =( So lousy..

I hope I can get better and better!
