Working hard

Just to let you know I'm working hard at fulfilling custom orders for Mothers' Day as well as anniversaries and birthdays, and still making ear-rings which seem to be very popular as gifts these days. I'll post new items by the weekend so you can make your selections. Do contact me if you need any special jewelry for that special loved one.

Meanwhile, back to my studio, beads and inspiration!

New designs and CUSTOM ORDER

This week has been a little hectic but I enjoyed most of it. First of all, I managed to complete 3 necklaces and 10 pairs of geometric ear-rings (will post photos next week)! I also managed to deliver a few custom orders. I'm a little disappointed I haven't managed to start on my geometric belt yet but will try to get to it this morning.

My son, Ethan-Zuriel (also my resident photographer!) attended his orientation this week at Nanyang Polytechnic where he'll begin studies for his diploma in Sports and Wellness Management on Monday. I wish him all the best in his new chapter of life and will sorely miss his companionship these past 5 months!


The necklaces have been duly uploaded so check out the Necklace section. See you next week!

Necklace - CUSTOM ORDER

One of my friends asked me to design a necklace for her in "warm green." Besides choosing the right green tones, I added orange beads to make it look warmer. This is a 25-inch necklace with a beadwork triangular toggle that can also be worn in front as a centrepiece. This necklace was given to it's owner yesterday and she said it was lovely. Here's my creation!

Do remember to plan ahead for your gifts this year! I'll be working on a geometric belt for those who love the one-of-a-kind accessory. Will try to be done in two weeks while working on other orders.

Lariat - CUSTOM ORDER

This is a 39-inch lariat with Mother of Pearl laser cut doves, small peach coloured freshwater pearls, gold filled beads and wire, Swarovski bicones and Riverstone beads.



Beadwork ear-rings

This past weekend, I spent time making geometric shaped beadwork ear-rings. I had a blast with shapes, colour combinations and different bead sizes. Check out the Ear-rings section of this blog! If you don't see a colour combination you like, do check with me.

I'll be working on more geometric shapes this week including 3-dimensional ones. Keep a lookout for them!

Busy painting...

This week has been filled with paints, paint brushes, tape and ladders! I decided to paint one of my living rooms (yup, I've two) and the dining room since Ethan's still home on long break. We spent 4 days priming and painting so no new items to post this week. Will try to post something next week.

Meanwhile, remember that Mothers' Day is coming so if you need to place special orders, do send them my way soon. Have a great weekend!
