Busy, busy...

I've been busy these past few days making new stuff and completing some custom orders. I really love the thrill of experimenting and thinking of new designs! Recently, I've been playing with  the Lisa Pavelka Gloss I bought months ago. I used it with clay a couple of times already.  And then I thought of using it without clay and try mixing it up with the charms, rhinestones and watch gears that I haven't played with for so long and are left untouched in their plastic boxes.  I had so much fun and I really looooved how they turned out!!! Here are the lockets plus a pair of earrings I made..



I also made another animal locket. I already tried making an elephant twice. But the ears and trunk weren't that strong and fell off. Oh poor Elephant! haha So, a dear friend named, Oshee taught me how to make it stronger by adding wires inside! Now, I'm happy as a bee because finally I made a very strong "ear-d" and strong "trunk-d" Elephant! yey!! 


 I also made new russian doll lockets.


This is my WIP now...already baked and ready to be turned into something Swellegant. haha:) 


I'm hoping for good weather again tomorrow so that I can start taking good pictues of the new stuff. They will all be listed soon in my Etsy shop! Good night everyone!

A Turtle, Bee and Stained Glass Cuff...


Finally, I made two new animal lockets! A turtle and a bee! 


Thank you again to hubby for taking the pics. :) I will be listing them soon in my Etsy shop! 

 I also finished a custom order...another stained glass cuff!! Making it was quite a challenge! It went in the oven 3 times. Applying the fimo deco gel (and letting it dry using the heat gun) took me an hour. After applying the metal coating, I need to wait for 72 hours for it to completely dry. So after 3-4 days, finally ...I finished it! haha Here it is..




I hope my client will love it!:) 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

LightBox, Orders and Liam's cartons...


Hello everyone! The past week was so busy...finishing orders and first week of school for Liam. Here are pics of the custom orders I made..



This is the prize for the giveaway I had in my FB page! 


And here are the new stuff I made! The steampunk locket is already sold but the pair of earrings is still up for grabs! I listed it already in my Etsy shop. 





I am so thankful for having a very caring and thoughtful husband who supports me and my craft! Look what he made me....a DIY Light Box!!! yey! 



And lastly, I just want to share with you what Liam loves to do with the cartons that we get from appliances bought or from our pizza orders. This is his Digger with solar panels (the black thing on top)!! haha He loves conceptualizing these things and asking us to help him put them altogether. No need to buy toys, these cartons and plastic containers make him happy. haha! The other day, I thought I already threw the carton of the pizza that we had...but no! Liam kept it all along and showed it to me..asking me to attach it to his digger (its the one in front)!! (parang basurero na tong anak ko! hahaha) 


I hope everyone's having a good start for this week! Have a very productive and crafty one!

New Tile, New Materials..

I've been wanting to change my  small tile with a much wider one because it was really hard working on it. Ang sikip! haha! For me,  I find it a lot easier to work with clay when I use a tile as my  table compared to using a table with a glass or plastic top. Clean up and cutting is easier. So yesterday...together with hubby and Liam..we went around to look for the perfect sized tile. So glad I found one!  

yey! bigger space!
A very nice day today! Sun is shining brightly, so I made something using LP gloss. I made a steampunk locket and dangles for a steampunk earring. 


I just bought these new materials. I just can't wait to use them. What do you think will my next project be? :) 


Going to Melbourne this wednesday! Excited to go around with my family! A few days to relax before school starts again. Here's wishing you a wonderful week!!

Little Projects..

I disassembled the necklace that I wore to a wedding  last month. 

One of the flowers, I changed into a brooch. As for the other one, still not sure what to do with it. The small ones, I used for a bracelet. Here they are: 




Funny but I find making a pair of earrings very hard! I tried to make four pairs but sadly I ended up just making two simple ones. Here they are: 




I will be listing them soon in  my Etsy shop!:)

Have a good Wednesday everyone!
