I’ve neglected my blog recently, for which I apologize. I was sick and didn’t make anything for a while. Suddenly I realized that St Valentine’s Day is approaching, so I’m trying to make amends for my laziness with new heart pendants that you all love. The first 2012 batch. All available in my Etsy shop in the Steampunk section. Enjoy!
“Test tube pendants” is what Mollie Barrow named them. Only the first one is based on a round cab (and also quite big). Mollie is the person who makes all these beautiful glass cabs. Each one is different, so these pendants are even more unique than my other stuff (which is unique but sometimes on a different level). You can see Mollie’s other work on her facebook page.
My pendants are available on Etsy in the Steampunk section of my shop.

I went to Delft (Netherlands) today. The town is famous for its ceramics (Delft Blue, cobalt blue on white), and before my trip there I did some research and found out they also make ceramic beads. The local bead shop had a lot of them. I tried very hard to ignore those that had windmills, tiny human figures and “I <3 Holland” painted on them, and looked for more abstract designs. I bought an even amount of each, thinking they might be good for earrings.

I don’t remember why I had this idea. I was going for something chunky, bold and more three dimensional than what I usually make. They resemble reptiles a little bit, hence the name. Also, I wanted to make something for myself to match my blue clothes (finally made something totally different and decided to sell the reptilian ones). I played around a bit, matching different grey and blue shades in different stones (agate, kyanite, lapis lazuli, amazonite, quartz and labradorite). There are countless tasteful combinations, I’ll have to explore this idea further when I have time.
Available on Etsy: 1st, 2nd and 3rd
