FIRE IN THE HOLE! Sau ultimul stinge lumina

New semi-precious jewellery coming soon

Adelina — Wed, 12 May 2010 16:24:16 +0000

I’m a little behind with this blog, still have some new pictures and new products to post. I’ve been occupying myself with the fastidious job of re-taking photos (got my very first necklace display – yey!) and I got so bored of it that I just had to go out and spend some money. So I got a couple of semi-precious stones, mostly turquoise, but also some amethyst and garnet. Can’t wait to see what they’ll turn out to be – that’s right, I don’t have a plan, it kinda just comes to me after I start working on something. Not very organized of me, I know

Here’s a pair of earrings (code E51) I made recently. I just love the combination of turquoise and copper, it screams summer and free spirit.

As usual, I’d love your opinion on my work

Wire Spirals

Apparently I was a bit on a roll the last two days, so I have a couple of new items to add to my Etsy shop. I’m working on the pictures now, but it shouldn’t take much too long. The first item is already posted, the others are on their way. Until then, here’s some teasers. And, yes, I did make a whole lot of noise hammering away at them Sorry neighbours!

Code N49

Code E49

Code N51

Code O15

No, these are not “dragon inspired”, but I will be posting those ones soon.

Flight of Dragons

Adelina — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:35:04 +0000

I recently saw How to Train Your Dragon and I remembered how much I loved anything dragon-related. Oh, who am I kidding? Loved? Past tense? Yeah, right. I know, I know, you’re not suppose to say you “love” dragons after the age of 10, but hey the “fantasy” in Fantasy Bijoux is there for a reason . Anyway, I started working on a new piece today, without a clue of what it would turn out to be (as usual) and in the background was playing the Flight of Dragons cartoon, which I grew up with (and I mean that literally, we’re the same age). And when I looked at what I was doing, it hit me: I’m doing a Dragon series! It started with Dragon Egg and it seems to be growing. There’s some teasers

Flower of Carnage

I loved the Golden Flower Choker so much that I decided I wanted a similar one for myself. Of course, this time I went for more dramatic tones, ones that match my personality better than golden or brown: charcoal grey and jet black, all with the Kill Bill soundtrack in mind.

Another Late Night’s Work

Adelina — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:33:16 +0000

Yesterday I had a pretty productive day, even if it was Sunday. Among other things, I remade the E21 earrings and had an idea about a bracelet to match the set. What do you think?

New Turquoise and Silver Set

Adelina — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 16:30:24 +0000

This is why I couldn’t sleep last night. By the way, at 2 in the morning, craft pliers are kinda dangerous.

Later edit: Yes, the set is sold already!
