Faux Ancient Beads Technique

Image
Hi guys!!! :) I have sooo much stuff to show you and so little time, so just a quick post today before I go back to cooking and dusting and cleaning and all that fun that needs to be taken care of once in a while...Ah, my house is such a mess! An organised mess though. I know exactly where to find my supplies, my wires, it's very easy... ... they're everywhere! After every cleaning and re-organising my place, I feel lost! Everything disappears! Maybe I should start making a list, like an inventory of every item to remember where I put my stuff after cleaning. But as always, jewelry first ~ yay!! If I don't prioritize I won't get anything done at all. The guys above are vintage glass beads soldered on oxidised copper wire. Berry clusters, yum! Second pair, African terracotta beads and Carnelian. Love the swirls on the African beads, but still, they looked kinda simple for me, so I painted them with acrylics!

Polymer Roses :)

  I made a few more polymer flowers to list in my Etsy store. Here's a quick preview: Each and every one of them is unique, hand sculpted, I don't use molds. After they're cured, I apply the paint, layer by layer...remove, repeat...it takes hours... ...but the perfect colors and shades are reached and in the end, it's all worthed. I love them. My favourite pair...they look like salvaged porcelain flowers, with ripped off edges...I think I'm going to keep these for myself. I'm thinking $15 each pair...I don't know if anyone is willing to pay that...I can't sell them cheap, they take so much time and work. I'll wait for a week, and if they don't sell I'll turn them into earrings. Earrings always sell. These two pairs sold so fast! See you soon! Love, Laura xo

“Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of Nature and it's beauty.”   ― Albert Einstein A few memories from my trip to N. Carolina :) ...rich green landscapes... ...untamed mountains... ...crystal veins within rocks... ...majestic forests... ...crimson clover fields... ...sweet wild onions, love them... ...gorgeous patterns in underground caverns... ...wild flowers... These would make gorgeous earrings. Wild Irises everywhere, my favorite flowers. Great inspiration for beads, love these shapes and colors.  "The Earth laughs in flowers." ~ Ralph W. Emerson  ...gorgeous wild flowers everywhere. Part of our hiking trail on the mountain. The Earth is a garden. Love, Laura :)
