Look, I've actually done something productive these holidays! How strange! Mind you this was only an hour-long feat compared to the millions of hours spent playing Skyrim and The Sims, but I still feel as though I have done something worthwhile. I don't have many jewellery making skillz just yet, but I think I am getting better. I've never been really good at anything arty farty so I am quite pleased with these creations! Yay. There are other things that I want to learn how to do, including sewing and drawing, but jewellery making/beading is quite fun and I want to make more and more!
Thanks for saying nice things about my last post, I feel a bit silly about posting those pictures online as it was something I tried to hide for a long time (yeah I'm a poet). I asked my boyfriend if I should remove the photos and he said, "nooooooo don't be silly." So they will remain. I will just have to post a lot more than usual so that the photos get pushed to the next page, haha.
One last thing - today I won my first giveaway! Hurray! Thank you to Denise of
Gray Lavender. I am soon to be the proud owner of some totally sexxxxy shapewear. Oh yeahhhh!
Congratulations on the giveaway :) And your jewellery is really aweseome - the necklace especially reminds me of a similar one I have and love the style to bits. Where did you get the bits and pieces for making them? I'd like to have a go myself, but don't know where to start! x
ReplyDelete@Milly Thank you! I got the charms and beads of the necklace from eBay, and took the little birdies off a necklace that was falling apart. I also bought a jewellery making kit from a craft store to get me started, you should definitely give it a go!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the giveaway!

Oh, and I spent my entire holiday playing Skyrim and the Sims too, its nice to know someone else did!

@Anja - I just found out that you can buy houses in Windhelm! OHHHHHH SO EXCITING.
ReplyDelete@Chantelle, thefabulousgypsy and Alannah - I can never get sick of playing the Sims! So much time, so little Sims to electrocute. because they have no handiness skills.
@Lauren - I have been thinking about the Etsy thing! Will have to look into it. Dunno if good enough yet though!
@Sarah - I always forget to check peoples' posts for replies! Fairly silly as I've started to reply to people in my comment section as well, haha.

ReplyDeleteOoo, these bits look gorgeous, you could set up a shop! :-D. I'm horrendous at anything arty apart from sewing! I can not draw to save my life, stickmen are even a struggle for me. xx
ReplyDeleteHaha I have no artistic skillz either, don't worry! I can't draw stickmen either!
DeleteWooow you made that jewelry yourself?! That is completely amazing, I wish I could do something like that. And congrats on winning the giveaway! x
ReplyDeleteYEAH SEXXXXY SHAPEWEAR! :-D Good for you that you didn't remove those pictures, you shouldn't feel ashamed or selfconscious about them. It's only skin, in the end of the day. Gorgeous jewellery, I love the bracelet and the birdie-earrings especially, would totally buy them!

I love the braclets! So creative girl! x
ReplyDeleteWow they look great! I've never even tried to make jewellery because it looks way too hard for me - I love those bird earrings xx
ReplyDeleteIf I can make them then ANYONE can. I have the artistic skills of a carrot. I wore the bird earrings today and they didn't break. YAY.
DeleteI heart the pretty sparrow earrings and bracelet! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't even worry about having posted those pictures. That took guts and I think we all applaud you for doing so. You made it easier to relate to for most girls.
Congrats on your win!
Such neat and lovely work. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteHaha it's not very neat up close, but thank you anyway! :D
DeleteI love those earrings! Making jewelry is so much fun. Partially because I can watch TV while doing it. Or maybe that's just me. but yeah!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I've been making some beads with polymer clay.. how crafty. Haha. x
