Sky Blue Flower Necklace

Ma vahepeal proovin ikka hõbedast ja hõbetatud ehteid ka teha. Et oleks vaheldust või nii. Aga huvitav küll, kohe vaskne meeldib rohkem. Vbl kui ma hõbedat oksüdeeriks ja poleeriks, ehk siis meeldiks rohkem? Mul on juba eelmisest aastast pakendist välja võtmata üks hõbeda oksüdeerimise vedelik. Peaks võtma asja kätte...
See kaelakee siin on hõbetatud traadist. Lillekujuline klaaskivi on nn moonstone klaasist. Tilk aga swarovski crystal AB. Tõepoolest, see crystal AB sobib kõikide värvidega! Jälle on kaelakee keskosa suht väike ja niimoodi pildil vaadates ei tunne nagu äragi. Aga noh, vähemalt on värvid õiged :)
Müüdud.

I try to make silver or silverplated jewellery every now and then. For a change I mean. But it's really weird that I absolutely love the copper colour. Perhaps I'd like silver better if I'd oxydize and polish it? I bought this liquid for silver so I could try, it was last year and I haven't even taken it out from the wrapping. Maybe I should give it a try...
This necklace here is from silver plated wire. Flower shaped glass stone is that moonstone glass again. Pear rhinestone is swarovski crystal AB. Really, crystal AB is such a great match to every colour! Again, the centerpiece is actually quite small and it's kind of strange to recognize it from the photos. Well, at least the colors are quite right.
Sold.

Shopping -> practical vs impractical

Mõnikord on asju, mida tahaks nii väga, mitte et need vajalikud oleksid vaid lihtsalt. Toongi siia näituseks sellised asjad, mida just viimati olen hankinud.
Esimesel pildil on vapikujulised klaasist ehtekivid, mis on pealt lihvitud. Nende eBay'st hankimisel oli kaks suurt takistust. Esiteks, kui neid oksjonile üldse pandi, läks nende hind alati minu jaoks liiga kõrgeks ja teiseks, noh, kui aus olla, siis ma ei tea mis nendega teha... Mul pole selliseid vapikujulisi "pesasid" ning kuigi ma olen otsinud, pole neid kusagilt leidnud. Eks näis, mis neist saab, kuid rõõmus olen sellegipoolest :)
Teisel pildil on tsirkoonid, samuti eBay'st. Oh jah... midagi NII säravat pole ma nii lähedalt varem näinud. Kaks suuremat kivi on seal 11mm diameetriga. Ja tõepoolest, kas ma julgen neid üldse oma ehetes kasutada...
Viimasel pildil on üksa väga armas tegelane - kilpkonn (BricolArt'ist). See on smaragtrohelisest siidjast klaasist ning kullavärviga klaashelmes :) Ma olen sellist nii kaua tahtnud! Mitte et mul seda vaja on, oh ei... Võimalik, et ma ei teegi sellest helmest midagi. Tõepoolest, ma pole ammu nii ebapraktiline olnud :D

Sometimes you may want things so bad... Not because you need it. Here are some of THAT kind of things I've been purchased.
On the first picture there are vintage glass stones with faceted top and gold folio from eBay. There was two big obstacles purchasing those. First, that their cost went always too high at the auctions and second, er, I have no idea what to do with them. Because I don't have a settings for them and although I have looked for them I've found nothing. We'll see what comes of them, I'm happy nevertheless :)
The second photo is with zircones also from eBay. Oh my... I haven't seen anything THAT sparkling before. The two bigger stones are 11mm in diameter. And really, am I able to put these in a pice of jewellery at all...
On the last pic there is a very cute turtle (from BricolArt). It's a bead from emerald silky glass with golden surface finishing :) I've wanted something like this for a long time! Not because I needed it, oh no... It's very likely that I'll never make anything out of it. Really, I haven't beed so impractical for a long time :D

Rhinestone Bracelets

Ma kasutasin seda sama nippi ehtekivide ühendamisel nagu selles kirjute kividega kaelakees. Kõige esimene, millega alustasin oli see roosa moonstone ja amethyst swarovskitega käekett. Selle tegin ovaalsete rõngastega. Kahjuks ovaalsed ei lase igakord käeketil ilusti "langeda" ja nii tegin ülejäänud kaks ümmarguste rõngastega.
Rohelises komplektikeses on vanad swarovski green opal ning suurem peridot ehtekivid ja prossis rohelisekirjud navette klaaskivid. Kui mäletate, siis mul oli selliseid suuruses 15x7mm, tegin ühe kaelakee sellega. Siin prossis aga on suurusega 10x5mm :) Kusjuures ma eile surfasin ja leidsin väga inspireeriva koha: Morning Glory Jewelry. Muide, ühtedel Diori kõrvarõngastel on samasuguseid rohelisi ehtekive!!!
Helesinine komplekt on hetkel mu lemmik. Sinna panin ma Saksamaal USA tsoonis toodetud siniseid klaaskive ning kolm meelespea mustriga klaaskivikest. Viimased on super armsad, sain need ükskord kingituseks. Ma olin nii õnnelik :) Neid helesiniseid klaashelmeid ma ei teagi, et need mul olemas olid... Igaljuhul sobisid tooni poolest hästi kokku ehtekivide ja tilkadega. Viimane käekett on üleval ka mu DaWanda poes.
Roheline käekett ja kõrvarõngad ning roosa komplekt on müüdud.

I used the same trick attaching rhinestones with jump rings as in the necklace with rainbow glass stones. The first bracelet that I did like this was the one with pink moonstone rhinestones and amethyst swarovski crystals. I did it with oval shaped jump rings. Unfortunately oval jump rings sometimes obstruct the bracelet in movement and so I did the other two with round jump rings.
In that green set I used vintage swarovski crystals in green opal and peridot, in the brooch there are vintage green navettes. You may remember that I have that kind of navettes in bigger size (15x7mm), I used one to make a necklace. In this brooch there are navettes in size 10x5mm :) I did some looking through the internet yesterday and found a very inspirational site: Morning Glory Jewelry. And I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw samekind of rhinestones in a pair of earring by Dior!!!
The light blue set is my favourite at the moment. I used blue rhinestones that were produced in US zone in Germany and three flowershaped rhinestones. These flower rhinestones are super cute, I got them as a gift. You can imagine the happiness :) I don't remember that I had those round blue bead... but they go perfectly with the glass stones and dropshaped beads.The third set is also in my DaWanda shop.
Green bracelet and earrings and the pink set is sold.

A Drawing

Täna ma lihtsalt joonistasin. Mõtted rändasid terve igaviku... Pilt on joonistatud A5-le.

Today I just drew. My thoughts made a long journey... The paper is A5 format.

Pink Brooch

Olen viimasel ajal väga laisk blogija olnud. Ma olen püüdnud seda kuidagi varjata, tehes mõnedest ehetest postitusi, kuid nii palju asju on vahepeal näitamata. Siin on pross, mille tegin kohe pärast seda kollast.
Need pirnikujulised kivid on moonstone klaasist, keskmine ring ehtekive on swarovski light amethyst AB ning keskel on klaaspärl. Minu jaoks üllatuslikult on kõige raskem prosside juures nende kivide pesade (andestust, ma ei tea õiget terminit) sobitamine kividega. Ehtekive nagu on, aga kui tahan ehteid teha siis avastan, et mul pole nii palju või õige suuruse/kujuga pesasid nende jaoks, et oma mõtteid teoks teha. Vbl peaks proovima väiksema ehtekivide kogusega prosse...

I've been really lazy lately when it comes to blogging. I try hard to make some posts here, but so many jewellery pieces are still waiting for their time. I made this brooch right after the yellow one.
Those pearshaped rhinestones are from moonstone glass, in the circle there are light amethyst AB swarovskis and in the middle glass pearl cabochon. I'm surprised that the most difficult part was matching the rhinestones with settings. I have different stones and cabochons but when I have an idea I find that there are not enough or not right size/shape settings. Perhaps I should try to make a brooch with smaller quantity of rhinestones...
