Group Photo

Tegin proovi pildistada pihutäis ehteid korraga. Ütleme nii, et 1/3 piltidest tuli kustutada udususe tõttu ja teine 1/3 olid lihtsalt mõttetud. Siin on nii varemvalminud ehteid, päris uusi ja ka tellimusena tehtuid. Musta kee ja kõrvarõngad panen DaWandasse ülesse.



This time I tried to photograph more jewelry together. Well, lets say that 1/3 of photos I erased because they were blurry and another 1/3 were erased because they didn't have any meaning at all. Here are some jewelry you already seen, some are new and some are custom made. I'll put the black necklace and earrings on DaWanda soon.

FimoRoses by Terje

Pärast seda, kui tegime Lucy'ga kõrvarõngaste vahetust ja ma sain endale roosidega kõrvarõngad, tekis mul soov selliste rooside järele. Kuigi oli vähem kui tõenäoline, et ma kunagi fimoga meisterdama hakkan, hellitasin siiski lootust, et kunagi tuleb isu peale :) Soovist rooside järele lobisesin välja siis, kui kunagi aitasin Terjet tema näitusega. Ja kujutate ette, et ma sain nüüd temalt kingituse!!! :) Ma sain temalt karbitäie roose! Nunnud, pisikesed ja roosad roosid! Terje on kullatükk!!!
Võttis aega, ennem kui kogusin julgust nendega midagi ette võtta. Tulemus pidi olema midagi magusat ja romantilist ;) Eile valmis komplekt roosade swarovskite ja erinevate klaashelmestega. Need roosat värvi klaashelmed on värvitud, st et nad on läbipaistvast klaasist ja kaetud roosat värvi kihiga. Olen ennemgi sellist tüüpi helmeid kasutanud, kuid siis oli neil juba selline kulunud välimus olemas. Need roosad siin on aga vist liiga uued ja selliseks kulunuks muutuvad nad kandmise käigus. Huvitav, kuidas neid helmeid juba ette kulutada? Aga need kollased on jubearmsad helmed, need on tegelikult siiruviirulised :D Need ei kulu.


After I made a swap with Lucy and got myself a gorgeous pair of earrings with pink roses, I had a wish to have thiskind of roses to use in my jewellery. Although it was more than unlikely for me to work with Fimo I still kept hoping it will catch on to me :) I talked about my hopes when I helped Terje with her exhibition, it was some time ago. And could you believe it, I now received a gift from her!!! :) A box with tiny roses in it! Cute little pink roses! Isn't she adorable!
It took time for me to gather some courage to work with these roses. The outcome had to be something sweet and romantic ;) Yesterday I managed to complete a set with pink swarovski rhinestones and different glass beads. Those pink beads are dyed, it means that these are made from crystal clear glass and covered with pink dye. I've used this type of beads before but then they already had the worn look. These pink ones here must be too new and they should have the look in time. I wonder if there is a possibility to give them the worn effect before putting them into jewellery? But those yellow beads ar super cute, these are actually swirly :D That color doesn't fade or wear off.

Seedpearls

Mul pole kaugeltki vähe kogunenud igasuguseid ehtevalmistamise värke, kuid millegipärast kipun tahtma just seda, mida saada pole :) Nagu näiteks 2mm suuruseid klaaspärleid. Võta või jäta, kõige väiksemad on alati poodides ja tootjatel 3mm. Aga ma tahan 2mm...
Kuni järsku oli eBay oskjonil 2mm imitatsioonpärlite punt. Tegu pesuehtsate 1950ndate (kui mitte varasemast ajast) Jaapanis toodetud klaaspärlitega! Lükitud kahekordsele imepeenikesele traadile ja lipikutega. Ma pidin need endale saama.

Kusjuures oma üllatuseks avastasin, et kui tänapäeval kasutatakse klaaspärlites piimjat klaasi, mis siis kaetakse pärlmutrise värviga, siis tol ajal valmistatud klaaspärlites on läbipaistev klaas. See muidugi tähendab, et pärlmutrise kihi kulumine torkab rohkem silma.
Niisiis, avastades, et need vanad klaaspärlid sobivad uute Tšehhi bright mink värvi pärlitega, valmistasin paari kõrvarõngaid ja kaelakee, mida annaks nendega sobitada. Väiksed 12ss suurused swarovski AB-läikelised kristallid (oh, kuidas tahaks, et neid oleks ka vaskses viimistluses!), suured lihvitud klaashelmed ja veel helmeid, osadel AB läige.

Edit: Huvitav, kas keegi on märganud, et kõrvarõngastel on miskit valesti? ;)

I can't say I haven't gathered enough jewellery making supplies over the years by now, but as a rule I seem to want those things I can't get :) For example 2mm glass pearls. Take it or leave it, the smallest ones avalable in stores or by manufacturers are 3mm pearls. But I want 2mm...
Until suddenly I found a hank of 2mm imitation pearls on eBay auction. These were genuine vintage glasspearls made in 1950s (if not earlier) in Japan! Strung on two hair thin wires with paper labels and all. I had to have those.

It's rather interesting that todays glass pearls are made of milky glass and then covered with pearly finish, but those vintage ones were made using clear glass. That means that it's more easy to see when the pearly coating wears off.
So, finding that those vintage pearls go well with new Czech glass pearls in bright mink color, I made a pair of earrings and a matching necklace. Little 12ss size rose montees with swarovski crystal AB (I wish I could have them in copper plated settings!), faceted large glass beads and other glass beads, some with AB coating.

Edit: I wonder if anyone has noticed there's something wrong with the earrings? ;)
