Day 21

Cuff style bracelets are Funki Diva's recent addition. They are basically bracelets with beads sewn on fabric. Inside they have cardboard to give them a little shape and the beads are sewn on. These are a lovely addition to our stock. The following bracelets are still a little unfinished as I still have to add on the ribbon as a link for closing.

Until next time,

20th June

Today my style is changing a little.. I'm not focusing on jewellery but I'm making something which is still in that same context. I created some cute Chinese origami gift boxes which complement every jewellery piece.

Day 19

OK.. So I have a tiny fascination with rings.. Today I made some Fimo flower rings.. They're soooo pretty!! I had such a blast making them.

18th Day of Inspiration!!

Rings! These are hand sewn crown rings made with seed beads or any crystals. They aren't expensive at all and they're are especially gorgeous for summer time.

17th June

Wire wrapped pendants are so fun to make.. By making the same design you can also add them onto earrings or use them as cute charms.

Day 16 - Pearls, Pearls

Well my title gave it away.. Today I worked with pearls. One of the simplest yet sweetest beads and they're perfect for people of any age! These are 2 pairs of earrings I made, enjoy them guys!!

Signing off,

15th!! Half way through :D

We're finally half way through the inspirational month.. So, I decided to give you a little taste of my bead stash... This is just the tiniest amount of beads and believe me I have tons..

And out of all of those I chose to make a bracelet, gold links with yellow and green beads. It's just perfect!!

Thanks again,

14th Day of Inspiration

On this day, I decided to make some sweet necklaces. They're triple stranded yet combined into one. Easy to wear and they give a fresh yet glamorous look to an outfit.

Signing off,

13th June

Hmm.. What did I do today? :D

I made a necklace which yes I definitely plan on keeping all for myself.. It's a necklace that can be worn in two ways. You can either wear it as one long necklace, half chain and half beads. Or as 2 necklaces in one, one chain and the other beads.

I also made a cute little wire wrapped ring. The flower is made out of wood. It's basically a wood button bought from Thailand.

Signing off,

Day 12

On this day I didn't have any particular inspiration hit me and I had no time to create something even if it did.

Most of my day was spent making jewellery repairs for some of my customers. Amongst which was a beautiful bracelet she had bought from Thailand.

Well long story short - she tore it. So it was up to me to put it back together. But it wasn't that simple...

I had to literally rip it apart and undo the whole thing and then start from scratch. It took me 4 whole hours to re make it. He's how it turned out:

Just started..

The Beads were sooo tiny!

0ne and a half hours in.

Finally it's ready!!

11th June.. And we're onto double digits!

Today was an easy decision - MOBILE CHARMS!

My mobile charms are currently being sold at Lazer Zone, St. George's Square, Victoria, Gozo, therefore I have to make many more. :)

One of the many charms I made today is this fantastic one shown below. It's a cute little thing made up of 3 of my favourite materials to work with: Glass bead, Smoky quartz (semi-precious gemstone) and a charm.

Earrings & More Earrings! - 10th June

Well my mood is a cheery one! So what better to make than earrings. Below are some of the many I made today. I covered basically every style. There's shell, glass, seed beads, wood and many more. Varying from punk/rock, hard core, to sweet and petite.

Summer wishes

Pure envy

Tribal eradication

Ebb & flow

Thanks Again,

Day 9

The theme on this day was connected to Summer, so, sand, sea and sun.. Hmm.. what goes hand in hand to all of this - Sea Glass!!

I found some beautiful pieces of glass while beach combing around Gozo & Malta. So I decided to make some beautiful pendants out of them.

Wire-wrapped sea glass! What is sea glass you may ask? Well it's little pieces of glass that have been tumbled in the sea by current and bounced off pebbles for a period of time. Finally it washes up on the beach. (where I collect it :P) The glass is then matt but has a gorgeous finish to it.

Onto my pendants:

8th Day of Inspiration!

I apologise again for not updating my blogs lately! :(

My life is really hectic at the moment.. On the 8th of June I made a necklace all my friends fell head over heels about. It's a long necklace and the pendant is a cute heart shaped locket. Yes, you can put 2 pictures in it!

Day 7

Sunday! My day for rest and relaxation. There is no better way than just sitting at my work bench and unwinding while beading. For today I made some pretty, colourful memory wire bracelets.

For those who don't know what memory wire is, it's a wire that doesn't lose its shape. It looks like a spring and you just uncurl it to wrap around your wrist. It's very fun and is definitely a cute accessory.

Pinks & Greens give a fresh look to any style.

Autumn colours are perfect for summer.

Bright bracelets are always eye catching.
