jewelry DIY all day!

i wanted to do a coin purse today but i had no zipper available

so i made jewelry instead. 

i purchased these beads and brass chain in Quiapo last Sunday. 

it's quite cheap. P100 per string of semi-precious stones 

and then P60 per string for the Murano beads (buy 3 take 1).

No. 8 yellow jade stone in brass chain

this one below is my favorite Murano bead among the ones i purchased.

it's like a teardrop. i love it.

this one's an old silver chain of mine (not sure if it's sterling). 

after attaching some Murano beads, it looked like this.

Sushi kept on barking at me and asking for attention 

so i made her pose with the necklace :)

this is the sterling silver rose ring i did. 

it's two rings which i connected by using copper wire. 

 but i removed the wire after because i prefer it simpler and disconnected.

it's supposed to be 3 but i broke the silver wire while twisting 

and my fingers hurt already. there'll be another time to complete the set.

but before all these jewelry, i finally finished the two-toned scarf!

there are holes in it and like i said, i made mistakes all over it

i didn't bother to unravel the yarn when i accidentally purled instead of knitted

 the green one is more tightly knit than the white 

so there's a part where the white one is wider :(

but it's not going to be obvious when wrapped around one's neck!

next time, it's going to be perfect!

my first handmade ring

i couldn't sleep yet so i thought i would try my new craft materials and make a ring.

the main ingredient in this one is Friendly Plastic which comes in different colors.

i used the blue and a little gold and white

 (the last 2 didn't show in the final product tsk tsk). 

i had a different idea in mind but it turned out differently. 

medyo okay naman. wearable :D

notice the wires are not a perfect circle :(

Shy Blue ring

i discovered the Friendly Plastic wasn't that easy to handle 

especially because i don't know what surface to put it on while melting it

and another thing, it hardens after a minute or so, and you'll have to melt it again 

to continue shaping it.

and there i was, imagining making little animals as pendants with it!

note to self: BUY A CHEAP BLOW DRYER

Sushi and Setsuko accompanied me all throughout the process. 

while their father is snoring loudly!
