charms

I am now working with silver and bronze charm bracelets, necklaces and anklets these past weeks. It’s really fun to do and very easy. I noticed I can create more pieces with charm bracelets in a day compared to my previous projects. But both projects are fun to do! The first batch of charm bracelets was sold as soon as I am done with it. My mom, my sisters and some of my friends are my first charm bracelets customer. I also made one for my 2 year old niece that matches her mom’s charm bracelet. I don’t have photos of them yet but I know they took photos wearing their identical bracelets. It’s really cute and my niece loves it. Also, when my other niece (11 year-old) saw my new projects she can’t wait to design her own charm bracelets and she came up with a nice charms combination which I am planning to add on my collection. With that, I am thinking of creating “MOM AND ME” bracelets. What do you think?

Like most people I am also fascinated with charm bracelets. My dream really is to have a charm bracelet bearing memories of the past. Just like what Queen Victoria has during her era or something similar to Bella of Twilight Saga’s charm bracelet which charms are from Edward and Jacob. Sadly, I haven’t thought of that when I was younger. But I can’t wait to get started. So anyway, just a little trivia about charms, did you know that during dark days of the Middle Ages, charms and amulets were put to use by knights and kings? They were most often used with incantations to wreak havoc on the occupants of enemy castles and protect warriors in battle. Charms were also worn on belts to represent family origin, political standing and profession. Cool huh?

Well, let me just show you the pieces I made. I am currently selling some of these to my personal network (people that I now personally). I will definitely post most of these on my sites for my online customer maybe next week. Hope you like it J

Here are the favorite items..







These are Korean inspired accessories and they are quite expensive. So I made my own version so people can get it on a friendly price. Now, it’s SOLD OUT!!

busy

Again I failed to update this blog several days now. But I don’t feel guilty anymore. I realized that I really cannot update it every day because there are so many things to do. I haven’t created new projects yet because people want old designs and most of my friends want their items personalized. With that, I spent time doing the same project over and over again. I admit I don’t enjoy it as much. I love it when I created something new but what can I do? What customer wants customer gets? Right?

On Sunday I shopped for new beads but those remained untouched. I’m so excited to create new pieces. Most of my customer requested for formal design so I bought a lot of German crystals. I was thinking of Swarovski but it’s a bit expensive so I end up with German crystals. (I don’t want to give my customer expensive items). It’s not as fancy as Swarovski but there’s not much of a difference. I tried to research for the difference between the two but I failed to get a good answer. Most materials are written in such a way that only crystallographer can understand. I also found great earrings and rings. I will post the items this week or next week.



These are what I brought home from shopping. I know they don't look as much but believe me when I say I can make a hundred pieces out of them.

This past few days have been so busy busy busy for me. I am currently working on the bulk order I mentioned on my previous entry. I hope I’ll be able to finish everything before the week ends so I can work on new projects, which I am really dying to do so. Later, I’ll be meeting a high school friend. She ordered several items too. I am so thrilled to see her because I haven’t seen her for a long time. So there you go that’s it for today!
