Two Brooches

Need kaks valmisid enne kuldpruuni prossi. Kõikidel prossidel on ehtekivide kolmikuid :)
Mõlemal prossil on kasutatud vanu ehtekive. Põnevates värvides. Esimesel on sabrina klaasi ja kahevärvilist läbipaistvat klaasi, teisel on iris/rainbow klaas ja vanu, natuke kulunud swarovski comet argent ehtekive.

I made these two brooches before the one in goldenbrown. All of them have triple rhinestones :) Both of these brooches have vintage stones. In interesting colors. First one has sabrina glass and bicolored glass, second one has iris/rainbow glass and vintage a bit worn swarovski Comet argent rhinestones.

Shopping for Jewelry Competition

Ma tahan teha ühe töö ehtekonkursile ning ostsin selle tarvis mõningaid swarovski ehtekive. Nüüd tagantjärele vaadates paistab, et mul on nõrkus poolläbipaistvate värvide suhtes :)

Tegelikult nägin suurt vaeva, et leida kivi värvusega white opal star shine, mida olin kasutanud ükskord ühes prossis. Tuleb välja, et seda värvi pole sugugi lihtne saada. Meenus, et tol korral sain prossi tarvis selle kivi LaGeode poest, kust lõpuks õnnestuski see hankida (järgi oligi seal ainult üks). Lisaks suurele 12mm kivile oli seal ka 8mm ja 10x5mm kive selles värvis. Nüüd on need seal otsas ;)

Tahtsin ka teada anda, et LaGeode pood pannakse kinni ning sellega seoses on seal tohutud allahindlused. Minge kindlasti vaatama!

1. Keskel nelinurkne 12mm White opal star shine (art 4470)
2. Vasakul üleval on tilgakujuline 14x10mm Light grey opal (art 4320), selle kõrval 4mm bicone helmed Sand Opal (art 5301), tilgakujuline kristallpärl 11x8mm Cream (art 5821)

3. Tilgakujulised 14x10mm Pacific opal ja Palace green opal (art 4320), 3mm kristallpärlid Cream rose pearl (art 5810), navette 15x7mm Crystal (art 4231), 4mm bicone helmed White opal star shine (art 5301)
4. Tilgakujuline 14x10mm Caribbean blue opal (art 4320), 8mm ümmargused White opal star shine (art 1028) ja 8mm kristallpärlid Creamrose light pearl (art 5810)

I want to submit a jewelry piece to a jewelry competition and did some shopping for that. Now looking at the stones it seems that I have a thing about the opal colors :)

Actually I had difficulties when trying to track down a special color White opal star shine. I have used it once before in a brooch. Finally succeeded in remembering where I got the first stone, I found the last one in LaGeode shop. Addition to that 12mm stone there was also that color in shapes of round 8mm and navette 10x5mm. I bought them all :)

I also wanted to tell you that after 4 years of business LaGeode is closing and therefore you can find big sales there. Go and check it out!

Goldenbrown

Kuldpruun pross vanast ajast klaasi, Tšehhi ja swarovski kristallidega. Need kullavärvi kivid on swarovksi aurum ehtekivid. Keskele panin klaaspärli. Muide, sain selle antiikse nõelapadja täna postkontorist kätte. Siia rändas see USAst. See on jubenunnu :) Seal peal on voogavate joontena nartsissi õied ja lehed, all pisikesed neli jalga. Samet on ookrivärvi, "tõsine" paks kangas.

Goldenbrown brooch with vintage glass, Czech crystal and swarovski crystal. Those gold ones are swarovski "aurum" color. I put a glass pearl in the middle. Btw I got this antique pin cushoin today from the post office. It came all the way from USA. It's supercute! It has beautiful daffodils and four cute little legs. The fabric is thick velvet in ochre colour.

Group Photo

Tegin proovi pildistada pihutäis ehteid korraga. Ütleme nii, et 1/3 piltidest tuli kustutada udususe tõttu ja teine 1/3 olid lihtsalt mõttetud. Siin on nii varemvalminud ehteid, päris uusi ja ka tellimusena tehtuid. Musta kee ja kõrvarõngad panen DaWandasse ülesse.



This time I tried to photograph more jewelry together. Well, lets say that 1/3 of photos I erased because they were blurry and another 1/3 were erased because they didn't have any meaning at all. Here are some jewelry you already seen, some are new and some are custom made. I'll put the black necklace and earrings on DaWanda soon.

FimoRoses by Terje

Pärast seda, kui tegime Lucy'ga kõrvarõngaste vahetust ja ma sain endale roosidega kõrvarõngad, tekis mul soov selliste rooside järele. Kuigi oli vähem kui tõenäoline, et ma kunagi fimoga meisterdama hakkan, hellitasin siiski lootust, et kunagi tuleb isu peale :) Soovist rooside järele lobisesin välja siis, kui kunagi aitasin Terjet tema näitusega. Ja kujutate ette, et ma sain nüüd temalt kingituse!!! :) Ma sain temalt karbitäie roose! Nunnud, pisikesed ja roosad roosid! Terje on kullatükk!!!
Võttis aega, ennem kui kogusin julgust nendega midagi ette võtta. Tulemus pidi olema midagi magusat ja romantilist ;) Eile valmis komplekt roosade swarovskite ja erinevate klaashelmestega. Need roosat värvi klaashelmed on värvitud, st et nad on läbipaistvast klaasist ja kaetud roosat värvi kihiga. Olen ennemgi sellist tüüpi helmeid kasutanud, kuid siis oli neil juba selline kulunud välimus olemas. Need roosad siin on aga vist liiga uued ja selliseks kulunuks muutuvad nad kandmise käigus. Huvitav, kuidas neid helmeid juba ette kulutada? Aga need kollased on jubearmsad helmed, need on tegelikult siiruviirulised :D Need ei kulu.


After I made a swap with Lucy and got myself a gorgeous pair of earrings with pink roses, I had a wish to have thiskind of roses to use in my jewellery. Although it was more than unlikely for me to work with Fimo I still kept hoping it will catch on to me :) I talked about my hopes when I helped Terje with her exhibition, it was some time ago. And could you believe it, I now received a gift from her!!! :) A box with tiny roses in it! Cute little pink roses! Isn't she adorable!
It took time for me to gather some courage to work with these roses. The outcome had to be something sweet and romantic ;) Yesterday I managed to complete a set with pink swarovski rhinestones and different glass beads. Those pink beads are dyed, it means that these are made from crystal clear glass and covered with pink dye. I've used this type of beads before but then they already had the worn look. These pink ones here must be too new and they should have the look in time. I wonder if there is a possibility to give them the worn effect before putting them into jewellery? But those yellow beads ar super cute, these are actually swirly :D That color doesn't fade or wear off.
