Rings

Remember that purple ring I made back in February? As I quite liked it (that and the fact that I had quite a few of the beads left!), I made it in different colours so it can go with plenty of different outfits.

red...

orange (I used the translucent one)

blue...

brown...

...and green.

obviously...the "purple ring" joke couldn't apply here anymore.

That's all for today :-)

Cupcakes

Two cupcakes I've made a little while ago (my first ones too...yeaaaah!). I picture them as necklaces. Just need to find the right chain for them.

That's all for today :-)

Something different

I tried to make a pen. But then thought it needed something to hold it as well when not in use. And then thought a pen holder on its own wouldn't be nice and that I hadn't done a character in a little while.

For a first, I think it's not too bad. Of course, it was a bit before I decided to try bright colours....I already had the comment from my sister lol

That's all for today :-)

Colours...and Interlude

First of all: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY (yes, it is today in France). Although my mum won't read this, I still wish her a wonderful day...or afternoon actually as she is in another country :-)

My sister keeps on saying that my work is not very colorfoul. Dark colours being my favourites (I am sure you will have noticed), I hardly ever use bright colours. What can I say? I love black, browns and dark greys.
So today I tried to use more colours. I already know what I will make with those lentils and beads. Just need to polish them a bit and varnish too.

...now the interlude: a little thought for my gorgeous boyfriend. Him being British and this weekend being the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, I had fun lol He will certainly enjoy the 4 day weekend he is getting out of this!!

That's all for today :-)

Last night...

...I could just not sleep. You know this feeling when you are exhausted but once you hit the bed it's impossible to fall asleep and you need to do something? That's what it was.
I've had this picture in my head about a pendant I wanted to make with a certain design on it. I've been thinking about "how I could turn it into a cane" for weeks and last night was the night!

So I got started around 1am and almost 4 hours later, I was done and so excited about the result: I can say that so far it is the greatest cane I have made. It turned out exactly how I wanted :-)

What do you think?

After reduction

I also made it in 3 different sizes

That's all for today :-)
