Some beading

My latest beadworks. They will be for sale, the blue one is already in my Etsy shop kristinamari. Its nice change to make something out of my beads that have waited on the table for so long.

Lamp shades

Its been awhile, but its not quite empty of handwork. Here some lamp shades for my home, the green looks little strange when the light is on, like alien stuff, but not too bad.

Crocheted bag

An easy project, but so cute! Just love this bag! I got myself a really interesting yarn, Katia Mystery. First I had thought of something so different for it, but well this is what came out of it.
Button is also handmade out of fimo clay. It really gives that extra for the bag, just a little one to hold camera and phone for some sight seeing!

Crocheted shoes and bolero

So now I finished two of the three crochet projects. I dont know what got into me yesterday, but I had the urge to finish the other shoe and then when I was hiding the endings, thought hey I have bolero almost ready, just the finishing touches, as hiding the ends and finding a clasp. As I dont have much with me, so I took a clasp from my jewellery making box, well I think it works! Sorry for the bleary photos of the bolero..

Oh the pattern for the shoes, I got from here http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/ee/pattern.php?id=5096&lang=ee although I made some changes, the soil would have been too tight near the toes and well it is little big at the heel.
And the bolero idea I got from isetegija.net forum, from crocheting together :)

Some beading..

So although I have like three crochet projects on my hands, I still found time for some beading. Just that they are so sparkly in this sunny days and it takes a lot less time to make then the projects I am in the middle of. So just some change from them.

New set of bracelet and earrrings

Yesterday I had a creation need:) I took up my beadbox and these flower curved beads just caught my eye, they are a present from my brother who brought them for me from all the way from Taiwan. They are really nice! And then I saw a bag full of beads made of real seeds, that are a present from my dear friend from Ecuador. So I mixed them up and thats what came of them. I love the colours, that IS my favourite set right now, wearing it right now:)

Crocheted lampshade

Just finished!! Now my room is cosy and warm:)

Keychain

I had these really nice Swarovski cristals, I had tried to find similar ones from different shops to make an exceptional set of jewellery, but I havent had the luck to find them. So I made this little piece for a keychain.

Silverball

I found this silver beaded ball from my jewellery making boxes, so I added a simple necklace, happens to be 925 silver. Really simple and still so unique, something for me to wear! :)

Fimo beads

Well I haven´t made any dotted beads, but I have baked some simple coloured ones. I needed accessories for a dotted outfit, so I made the colourful bracelet for this purpose. And then I just loved how the transparent lilac and blue came out, so I made an extra set just using these colours.

messing with clay

Its nice to mess with the polymer clay sometimes, but only sometimes. Well quite a lot of times I just do and do something and then dont cook anything and be frustrated.
Well not this time, this time I cooked and glazed them. And probably need to make some more of the same kind as its a little too little to make something cool of them.
But I like the colours and the dots!

and something for sale

Same set as I did for myself just in green, sterling silver hooks and necklace.

From Komplektid / Sets

And a bangle with a twist, saw this idea when surfing in the world wide web. ;)

From Käevõrud/Bracelets

home again!!

Its always great to be back home, just because then I can get my hands on my beads again! :) Wanted something blue and sparkly for the upcoming rest season from my racing, to have something for the nights.
Simple but love them!!

Blues

Finally made something of the nice whites and blues that I got from Slovenia. This set is made of four different fimo colours: transparent white and transparent blue, white and blue. Really nice, love blue and white contrast. Actually first I started making somekind of symmetry, but then I thought no, better just mix the pattern, and the result is here!

Swarovski cristals

My new creations from Swarovski cristals. Each earring has 12 cristals, and all have sterling silver 925 hooks.

These light purple ones are for me, love them!!

Mixed purple and yellow ones are for sale, visit my shop!

:)

My brand new creation!

Just yesterday finished my grapes project. Got these brilliant Swarovski cristals and found matching seeds from my stocks, when I purchased them I did not really know what will become of them. For a long time have wanted to make a herringbone rope, so here it is with some cristals. Really happy with the result!

Soon I will put it also in to my shop on Etsy. Yes I did a new Etsy shop just for my jewelry, go and visit http://www.etsy.com/shop/kristinamari
