Triple bracelet

I recently got an order for a triple bracelet in spring-summer colours. Since the Buyer chose bronze colours for the clasp, the colours turned out more spring-summer-autumn, but they were completely approved :) My pleasure!
And this is the bracelet itself:

A kitty, because kitties are the best in the world and the clasp was hidden in my stash for some time, waiting for its moment :D I used Toho beads in size 11/0 and colours Silver Lined Lemon, SL Frosted Olivine and Inside Color Lt Jonquil/Apricot.

Upcycling bottles

It's time for vases :D
I recently fell for wrapping bottles - I found it hard to throw away some of the already emptied ones I had and thus I began my internet search for a way to make them even better. I found one and I love it :) Now I really wrap A LOT of them and soon I'm going to give them to cat care foundation Koci Pazur, so they can sell them on one of the auctions and earn some money for kitties <3 p="">
Basically, the wrapping method is really simple - all you need is a ball of yarn (not too shaggy), double-sided tape and something to impregnate the material so they can be washed. I'm also thinking about painting some of the bottles from the inside, so pieces of tape won't be visible.

Plus there's a hunting side - each week I'm going to local second-hand shop to poach some new yarns <3 p="">
And that's how they look like wrapped:

And that's how they dry after being impregnated on my balcony:

Best part is - you can make them and listen to e-book/participate in conversation/watch TV, because they're so easy to make :D

Swarovski and cats

EDIT: Cats can be found on ETSY :3

In theory I do have a lot of time lately, but it's all consumed by creating stuff and not writing about it on the internets. Impatient fingers :) It's high time to brag about something!

I developed the kitty pattern myself. With each next it's turning out better and better and now I have new idea for the earrings. Basically, it's rivoli bezeling plus ears and tails. And this is how they turn out:

And here with earrings:

Swarovski rivolis are in sizes 8, 14, 12 i 8 mm, and in colours Silver Night (big kitty's body) and Black Diamond (rest). Wrapped in Toho Round beads in sizes 15 and 11, and colors: Transparent Rainbow Crystal, Silver-lined Frosted Crystal and SLF Black Diamond. All parts made of silver, plus silver necklace about 40 cm in length.


I also made a set for my friend in pinks and whites (raspberry ice cream!), with dot-earrings in place of kitties:

Here with earrings:

And beautiful Swarovski cuts...

Rivoli in sizes 18, 14 and 8 mm, and color Fuchsia. Toho Round beads in 11 and 15, and colors Inside Color Crystal/Snow lined and Gold-lustered Raspberry. Also - silver :)

I'm now planning to do something in blues...

Long time no see...

It's been ages.
Or more.
But that's how it goes when one does billion things at the same time and doesn't really HAVE time for anything :P Nevertheless, I keep up with beading and have a few things to show :3 It's going to be just small pieces today, but just let me take those photos..

To begin with - Swarovski:

Rivoli Topaz Gems 8 and 12 mm, wrapped in Toho Round 11/0 i 15/0 in Silver Lined Med Topaz colour. Silver earpieces. Prototype model ;)


Next - a pair of earrings I made for my colleague from work.

 Matte mountain crystal gems and bronze-coloured metal. A bit freestyle XD

Number two is a bit Valentine's themed - red marble hearts and silver-coloured metal. Earpieces are silver-plated, in case of allergies.
More coming soon!

Stone wrapping

...since, as I mentioned, it works really well for me lately :)

Something glittery for starters:

Pink is a weird colour. It's overly ladylike, overly sugar, but a colour as any other... and as I bumped into those rivoli in Rose colour, I couldn't resist them :P
Toho Round in 15/0 and colours: Opaque Rainbow White, Silver Lined Rosaline and Inside Colour Rainbow Crystal-Salmon lined as well as 11/0 in SL Frosted Rosaline colour. Spikes made of silver. My wedding ring included as size comparison :)

Also in the colour:

Biiiiig pink howlite. I was wrapping it, and wrapping it, and the net was growing and growing...
Beads SL Rosaline, SL Frosted Rosaline and O Rainbow White. Also silver-coloured metal element.

And one pretty stone without name and accidentally received:

Wrapped in Toho 11/0 and 15/0 in Metallic Hematite and O Rainbow White colours. Silver-coloured metal pendant.

Both stones will be donated for Koci Pazur ("Cat's Claw") from Poznań. Unless someone fell in love with them and wants to order them now - the money will be donated for the kitties! If so, please contact me :3

And few more shots:

Some more bracelets

 Time to show off a little more. Today - crocheted rope bracelets.
I'll start with something in spring colour:

 Tricolour bracelet made with Toho Round 11/0 in Transparent Frosted Lime, TF Dark Peridot and TF Teal colours. The clasp (that has been my inspiration) and all other elements in silver colour. I couldn't help myself, it just got so "spring-y" in the middle of winter :3
To be found here.


Teapot:

One of my favourite Toho Round 11/0 in Opaque Frosted Terra Cotta colour and gold Knorr Prandell beads. Elements in gold colour.
Is here.

And a Swarovski bracelet for dessert:

I fell in love in that spiral pattern, I plan more...
Toho Round 11/0 i 15/0, in Transparent Rainbow, Silver Lined Crystal, Inside Colour Crystal/Snow lined and Opaque Jet colours. Rivioli Swarovski in jet colour, 12 mm. Metal elements in silver colour.

And here is my brave Malina, who has helped in photo making:

To begin with...

POLISH

I'm going to begin with a charity :)

I've been volunteering for Polish group Koci Pazur (Cat's Claw) that arranges sterilisations and adoptions of cats in Poznań, Poland. Beside donating some of my crafts, I thought I could also donate some money from selling mobile phone charms. Take a look:

 And:

Aren't they cute? ;)
Kitzies are no more than 2 cm (0,8 inch) in length, along with the charm itself it's 8 cm (3,15 inches).
They can be found in my Etsy shop: CLICK
All profits will go for the cats!

More crafts soon.
