Flowers for girls

Making some 'paper'-jewels for my far-away-nieces in Perú. This is the start and I have exactly two weeks to finish them. I will come back with pics from these ones ;)

Gato-shoot!

Since some years I don't have a cat of my own...but since we live here I made a very good friend. This is Toulouse again, the cat of the neighbours, who visits me almost every day and wants to see everything that I create. So I thought, it's time for a fotoshoot of my little earrings, took my Peruvian cup as background and started making pictures. Toulouse added her idea on my pics...in a while she started to roll and almost take up the cup...oh my! What did she liked on that moment? The cup, the earrings or just beiing in some sunshine with all the attention pointed to her!

About making this pics : I used the free software Poladroid. You can easily download it HERE and transferring all your pics into polaroids! The fun of it also is you have to shake your pics on your desktop and so the colours will change more red or green and so on! FUN!

Gato-jewels

Last autumn I was experimenting with epoxy resin...now the days are getting longer and I don't have to work inside it makes it all much nicer to do and go on experimenting! They are still drying but I couldn' t wait to show them. Soon will finish them! Let me know what you think of them!

Ginkgo-collar

Had these wooden pendant from a shop in Lima...but since now I didn't do much with it. After trying to paint them I carved them. Brought black ink into the lines and covered the ginkgo-leave with some varnish. Just played around with my beads and tried to capture a nice image.

If sun comes back...someday, then I can wear it on a nice summerdress!

Jewels of inspiration

My brand new earrings, hooooray!!! Designed by Adolie Day, a very briljant illustrator from France. I love them since ages and I thought it was the right time to buy them finally! Perfect to start spring! All these lovely items you can buy on La Marelle éditions. Only I hope the quality of the earrings is much better then the buttons are. My button I bought (design from Benjamin Lacombe) some months ago has a very poor backside, no quality at all...that's the sad side of the story.

Sales / Remate

If there is something that makes me mad...then it must be this time of 'sales'...still some days to go. It's a kind of braintwister for every soul...it gives us the feeling we have to, although we can't or we don't want it! This is what made me happy yesterday! 1 euro, shiny, pink and just soooo ready for Spring I am now!

Experiments

Quicky jewels / Joyeria rapidita

Pumpkin-days / Dias de calabaza

It's a beautiful day, the sun is all around and the air is 27 degrees warm...it looks like summer but a lot of little things are telling us that autumn is coming closer and closer. Just bought this little pumpkins and those earrings I made some days ago while dreaming of the tasty fruits that autumn will bring us very soon! Lovely day...nice weekend to all of you!

Hoy es un día maravilloso. El sol brilla fuerte y nos calienta hasta 27 grados. Parece verano todavía pero un montón de señales nos dicen que el otoño esta muy cerca. Recién compré estas calabazas e hice estos aretes hace algunos dias mientras soñaba con las riquisimas frutas que el otoño nos va a traerá! Un dia perfecto...feliz fin de semana a todos!

El trio de Los Andes

Just for the fun I painted these three jewels...may'be I will paint away the letters...don't know, I'm searching my way and it feels just fine!

Missing him... again / Le extraño...de nuevo

Inspired on a drawing I made in November 2008 I tried to paint on this wooden pendant... I bought some of them in Lima and I want to make more experiments with it. Let's see if it will survive the heath of my oven :)...

Inspirada por un dibujo que hice el año pasado en noviembre.
Estoy tratando de dar color a esta cosita con pintura para ceramica, voy a poner al horno, viva el experimento, a ver si sobrevive a mi plan! :)

A home for the jewels / Una casa para las joyas

Saved from her 'rubbish-life', I gave her today a new meaning...
She will embrace all my new jewels I am creating now
♥
Salvado de una vida como 'basura', le he dado hoy dia un nuevo destino...
Ella va a cuidar mis nuevas joyas que estoy haciendo

'La Joyeria del gato' / 'The jewels of the cat' ...

Although weekends are times to visit friends or family, I couldn't resist to use my spare home-time to paint more earrings and beads...Finally bought good 'porcelain' paint and baking the polymer clay twice doesn't seem to bring troubles. I'm happy with these ones, it's a beginning of something new for me, but I feel that it touch me and I can find a big pleasure in it while creating them. Tell me how you like them ...
♥
Aunque el fin de semana es un tiempo para visitar amigos o familiares, yo he usado cualquier minuto para pintar mas arretes y piedritas...He comprado una pintura especial que tengo que hornear también al igual que la arcilla que uso, y no puedo esperar para experimentar y buscar la mejor forma de trabajar con estos materiales. Estoy feliz con con el resultado pero esto es sólo el inicio de una experiencia nueva para mí. Me da una satisfacción muy grande y me encanta crear estas joyas. Cuéntame cómo te gustan ...

Trials

The first trials...time to buy new acrylics and start seriously...

It feels very nice to work again with polymer clay and doing it just in another way so many years later. It tastes very very good and better results I will have soon!

Materials : 2 self-made pendants on a page of the book ' Orbis Terrarium'

Working on...jewellery / Hacer joyeria

As I did in my teenagers-days, making jewellery of polymer clay (Fimo) but this time I dream of something ...more. These are ready to bake and then the painting can begin.

How wonderful is life if you can find the time to do that things you dreamed of since decades!
My time has come!

Hacer joyeria como cuando estaba niña, de polymer clay o Fimo. Pero esta vez quiero crear mi propia colección . Ahora estos estan listos para hornear y luego pintar.

Que linda es la vida si encuentras tiempo para lo que has soñado hacer.
El momento ha llegado!

Materials : Polymer clay (Fimo) & metal pendants.
