New earrings

 LET THERE BE COLOR ONCE MORE!!

As I have mentioned in a previous post it's been a rather productive period for me in the area of crafting.Maybe this had to do with the fact that I am a brand new blogger and I'm still thrilled with the idea of publishing new items and finding new topics to write about.I hope and pray I will have the same urge to create new stuff as time goes by.Blogging can be an extra motive for inspiration and creativity after all!

So I have been pretty busy these past couple of weeks and I came up with many interesting ideas that came out of the blue.Well, sometimes not exactly out of the blue but a bit of windowshopping at jewelry stores downtown did help a lot.Of course, a piece of jewelry you admire is not to be copied but it should be just a starting point from which you create something totally different and unique.Otherwise, in my humble opinion, you miss all the fun of creating...

Here's a new pair of earrings I have made that will soon be featured on my Etsy profile along with other items.
It is made of  nickel silver that has been wrought, stainless steel wire and multi-colored pearl beads.
Have a look and tell me what you thing about it!

Hippie look!!


What a better way to celebrate spring than wear all those vibrant colors of the hippies?
Doesn't your mood get higher and higher when you see those clothes in practically each and every shade of color?
Florals,stripes,geometric patterns you name it it is THERE,in the world of hippies.
Curly,slick or wavy hair give this impression of freedom and carefree attitude and lots of jewelry with beads,feathers,peace signs and cords add a touch of natural and sophisticated look at the same time.
And what an inspiration  this particular era  is for jewelry makers,fashion designers and hairstylists!!
So I could not be an exception either.Here's a new cuff bracelet I just made that is influenced by flower children.Hope you like it!








And here are some pictures I saw on Pinterest that really made me wanna travel back in time and be part of this wonderful,shiny,colorful period of time.
If you're going to San Francisco,
be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...
If you come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a love-in there.

Enjoy!!!

The ship has sailed!

Well it seems that this period has been quite productive and creative for me as far as jewelry making is concerned.I don't know maybe it has got to do with the spring coming and all or maybe it's because I'm totally new to blogging and to tell you the truth I'm thrilled about it, so I  try to come up with fresh and new blog posts.
Today for example completely out of the blue as I was chatting with friends on Fb the inspiration struck me.
It didn't take me a lot of time to turn my inspiration into artwork since I had created a similar piece of jewelry earlier this year (In fact that one has been listed on Etsy).
This time I really wanted  to use  different colors (white and blue that is), maybe because lately I seem to have a feeling of nostalgia of the Greek islands.This time of  year the weather is lovely there as it gets warmer and warmer.Being there at Easter is such a unique  travelling experience!Every Greek island has different customs for celebrating and a tourist has so many things to see,feel,hear this particular season.Just the thought of it makes me  wanna catch the first ship to... anywhere!!
Well I can't travel with the one I have just created! Too small...
But have a look at it anyway...













P.S. Earlier this week I saw this amazing slideshow that has been made by the supporters of
Up Greek Tourism.What a brilliant idea this is!!Well done!!

New collection





As a sequel to my previous post I would like to add my own collection of jewelry in my most favorite color,electric blue.Yeap,I'm a girl who likes to keep her promises...The jewelry is  brand new and it has not been listed on my Etsy profile yet.

The first one is a one of a kind collar pendant made of nickel silver, electric blue (what else?) beads and light blue leather suede cord.It is part of a new line I'm going to launch that will be more minimal and will have a kind of ancient greek style influence.

The second one is a unique pair of earrings that  are in the shape of a heart,they are made of  nickel silver and electric blue beads.

The third one is a one of  a kind ring made of nickel silver, a glass leaf in electric blue and three pearl beads in light blue,grey and white.
Just have a look and tell me what you think!
