Halloween Slasher

  

Limited Time Only!

As you may know I started an Etsy store a few weeks ago. As a special for this week I lowered all the prices on my stock on Etsy to try to boost sales. No such luck so far. So I may just extend it a few days and do the same on the blog.

Until November 4th all the blog prices will be lowered as well. If you make a purchase on November 5th they will have gone back up to their regular price.

Just in case you forgot which fabulous pair of earrings you had your eye on, here's what's in stock.

Beady Eyes

 

Just in time for Halloween!

 

Yesterday I took a break from my recycled materials, Neil and I went to a coffee shop and on our way home stopped at a charity shop. I saw a pair of Manolo Blahniks in the flesh (I don’t see what all the fuss is about). Anyway, they were selling a bracelet with nice beads for not very much. So I snatched it up, I knew it would make cool earrings.  

 

Just last week we bought beads of all colors at another charity shop. They included the small green beads, small white beads and black ones too. I thought they all went together really well.

 

Back when I first started this journey I bought a bunch of beads from another charity shop. They had jars of beads, well actually jars of old (and not so old) necklaces and bracelets that were nice. So these two pair of earrings are made from two of those (a necklace and a bracelet). Unfortunately, when you use repurposed beads your stock is limited. From those items I can only make one or two pairs of earrings a piece. That just means your jewelry (should you be the lucky one to purchase it) will definitely be one of a kind!

Curling Ribbons

SOLD OUT!

This is another design I’ve been dreaming about. I wanted something that looked like curling ribbon on a beautifully wrapped present. I must say I am happy with the result of this project. I tried with different widths of materials and different colors. Besides these four colors I have dark green, black and white available. I can also make pairs in combinations of these colors. Please specify the color(s) and width (small or large) and tightness (Orange is the tightest, blue is the loosest) upon ordering.



 

I think I may start using only recycled materials, I like using things that would otherwise just end up in a landfill. The technique I use to refashion the material gives it a nice texture. The only problem with this source of materials is I am limited in the colors available. I am trying to figure out a way to color the material since I have a lot of white and clear but not many other colors. What I've tried so far looks okay but the color fades when touched, which won't work for jewelry.

 

 

I wore the Blue ones out last week and my cousin loved them. They are very light despite the size of the curls.

Pink & Purple
 

So I took a big step the other day, I opened an Etsy store. So far I only have one style of earrings listed in the store but I will add more. I wanted to see if it's worth it first. So you can make your purchases from the Etsy store or from this blog. But I have to warn you the Etsy prices are higher to cover the costs of the store so if I were you I'd buy directly from the blog.

Eco chic Circles

We’ve been busy

 

Over the past two weeks Neil and I have been really busy. We’ve gone to a few places and done quite a lot not even including doctors’ appointments and things like that. So I haven’t had much of a chance to make things. But the past few days have been rainy so I spent these days designing new earrings.

These are eco-chic again. I’ve been dreaming about these earrings, I hope everyone likes them as much as I do. It took some time to figure out how to get the plastic to take the shape I wanted, but once I got the design right I was set.

I tried with different colors of plastic. I tried using different color beads to top the circles and even inside the circles.  That inspired me to try another design which I will save for another week.
