I feel very blessed! :)

Lately I've been very blessed to be featured in several wonderful blogs, a contest on neatostuff.com, and many treasuries by lovely people of Etsy!

I'm not a kind of seller who knows all the tricks in and out about the advertising an online business, which I'm not very proud to say! So, while I'm being like that, I feel like all other people that likes my designs are giving me a hand to show my creations to the world which I'm soooo grateful! I will mention those people, blogs, websites and treasuries in a more detailed future post I promise! :)

OK, lately my creative urge came back (yayy), so I've been up to making some new exciting pieces! I've already listed them in my shop (I couldn't wait, I was inpatient!) , so I thought I'd post them here also to show my followers! I'm attaching the photos above, if you click on them, they'll take you to the listings in my shop. So you can read more about the details, materials etc.

I hope you are all having a wonderful week! :)

Hair pins are new in the shop!

I'm very excited about these! They are adorable, and unique, all with vintage metarials except the freshwater pearls at the middle! I just listed them in my shop for $12 a pair. There are more colors to come soon!

They'll make great little gift items for the upcoming holidays, and affordable too!

Now go and shop! :P

Love,

Polyvore....my new addiction.........

Do you know about Polyvore? I just found out about it through a friend about a week ago, and since then I've been playing like a kid day and night! It is shortly about creating sets/collages that'd include mostly fashion items or any kind of decorative elements. As you start your collage, you can search whatever it is your are looking for on the little window at the right side of the page, and add it to your set! Basicly, it is like making the collage on the computer instead of on the table at your home. It is hard to explain here, so go to the website and just take a look, free to join! ;) Above, the photo is one of my sets I've created...

Fresh Designs

Ohh, it is been kinda long I didn't post anything, I feel guilty somehow! ;)

Last week has been busy having guests during the week and also in the weekend, oh those days were a lot of fun! We mostly spent our time at Laguna Beach, checking out the shops, trying new restaurants, having a barbecue party (sish kebabs, yummy!) and one night at a cool night club...

I've also been gathering materials for my new design idea that I've posted here about before (with the secret vintage elements), and I've actually started making those today, and I think they are rad! I'm soo excited! :)

By all those happening, I've managed to make some new jewelry pieces as well and have listed some of them in my Etsy shop already, but more to come next coming days!

Faux Patina on Copper

I've been experiencing with liver of sulfur last night, for the first time ever! Some copper findings I had, turned completely black and had a kind of matte texture. So, I tried some paint on them to achieve green/blue patina look, like it has been on earth forever look! I love the results, so I made two pairs of earrings with them. Yes, they are newly freshly listed in my shop!

Love,

I got an e-mail from Bust , it was a call for a design contest for 'Dr. Martens' boots. I checked out the site and it looked so much fun, so I went ahead and played with their tools to create one! I used the basic tools they have on the site, but you can also print the design template and paint, collage etc. on it. If you have photoshop or other computer programs alike, they also allow you to work with them. I know there are a lot of artist on Etsy who'd create a hell of a design for this contest, so just wanted to let you guys know about it... Enjoy..! ;)

Other than fooling around on the net, I'm onto something very exciting! Last weekend, I ran into an antique shop in downtown Fullerton. I found some vintage materials that I fell in love right away! There was a box full of them, first I decided to buy about 10, then all different ideas about what to make with them rushed through my brain and decided to buy the whole box! The owner lady was very nice to give me a bulk deal, so it was the cherry on the top! I'm not gonna tell you now, what they are, because I'm not ready to burst the bubble yet... I'm still on the designing, and gathering the other materials/tools process, but they'll be up in my shop and here very soon...

P.S. The photos above; don't you love the look of floral silhouettes when light hit them from the back? They look like ink drawings...
