New pretties and an upcoming post!











Well, I've been kind of busy with the orders and new designs lately, so I've been away from my blog for a while, sorry about this! I wonder if there is anyone out there who comes and check if I have a new post? Do you??? If so, drop a 'me' in the comments, so I'll know! I'll know and I'll be a better poster then! ;)

So... I've listed new and fresh and exciting designs in my shop this week! I hope you like them. I'm especially in love with the wallpaper necklace, and very excited about the copper earrings. Oh, those colors on the copper pieces amazes me so much!

Oooo, I also got a treasury last night, which has became kinda hard lately, but yayyy anyway! It took me about an hour to make it, many of them are from my favorite sellers or items, but still there were so many good stuff, it was hard to decide! Check it out here!

love,
Derya

Pssst... I'll post 'experience with your art part-4' tomorrow with an Etsy field trip format. I'll have some creative guests here, so come back to check!

Experiment with your Art




I'm always constantly looking for new interesting/unexpected metarials to use in my designs to make them even more unique. So far fabric, paper, paint, industrial felt, silk rods etc. were in the details of my jewelry work. My last favorite one is 'fused plastic'. I did some other form of art pieces with this technique, but didn't really use it in my jewelry designs. I usually play with the plastic shopping bags, because they are the most available ones in my home, and they are free and they are so ugly begging me to change them! ;)

Somehow, I just really like how plastic becomes something else, totally different, all deformed and ruffly... As you heat it, it also hardens when it cools, so it is durable too, and waterproof! My new necklace and brooch came out after that fun experiment; eco friendly, up-cycled, green, sophisticated, and elegant pieces made out of trash... :P

If you have art pieces that are made out of up-cycled or any different unexpected metarials, please put a link to the comments, I'd love to see them!
