Under the Sea | Dreaming of the Sea Collection: Part 4

WARNING: This post will contain a lot of gratuitous "singing". (˘ᵕ ˘)

*takes a deep breath*

Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm a girl -

A girl who has everything?

 Look at this trove

Treasure untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here you'd think -

Sure, she's got everything

Oh, but you do not yet own a handmade creation from Dainty Little Trinkets! What do you think about starting now? 

Look around and pick up a little trinket or two from this little treasure trove! (Is it egotistical to refer to your site as a treasure trove? If so, I totally meant that ironically).

Hehehe. How's that as far as sales pitches go? Meh? I knew I wasn't born to be a salesperson. Oh well.

So those who love all things Disney would know that the song above is sung by Ariel from The Little Mermaid. And how could I make an entire collection about the sea without alluding to this timeless Disney classic? Here we have a charm bracelet and matching earrings in tribute to life Under the Sea.

A set for those who love marine life - aquamarine Chinese glass beads and Preciosa fire-polished glass beads amidst dainty antique silver-plated charms of life under the sea - starfish, sea shells, fish and dolphins!

 Was a little disappointed that I didn't have a charm of a crab to add to this bracelet, in tribute to Sebastian, the memorable character from Little Mermaid who sings Under the Sea in a glorious Rastafarian Jamaican accent. (Also, he's not a lobster, like I mistakenly thought all these years. Wikipedia says he's a crab!)

 Now sing with me!

The seaweed is always greener

In somebody else's lake

You dream about going up there

But that is a big mistake

Just look at the world around you

Right here on the ocean floor

Such wonderful things surround you

What more are you lookin' for?

Under the sea

Under the sea

Darling it's better

Down where it's wetter

Take it from me

Up on the shore they work all day

Out in the sun they slave away

While we devotin'

Full time to floatin'

Under the seaaaaaaaa~~~~~~~~~

California Dreamin' | Dreaming of the Sea Collection: Part 3

"This collection is called Dreaming of the Sea, is it not?

Why are you talking about California?"

 I hear you ask.

Or maybe you don't ask, because this is a blog, and you don't talk to blogs and you likely don't pay attention to my blogging and my weird post titles as much as I do. :p

Anyway, it's late, and I'm a little sleepy, so I'll try to keep this post short (well as short as I can, which is still substantially longer than most succinct people).

"Quick" backstory - a couple of years back, I had the joy and privilege of taking a roadtrip around the US West Coast and California is where we spent a large part of our time. One of the popular touristy locations that we visited was of course Venice Beach, the quintessential hangout for the beach bum or beach babe. We had a lovely time under the sun, eating icecream, watching the waves roll to shore, observing the eclectic bunch of people frolicking around the beach. Twas a lovely, warm, carefree and sun-soaked day.

So here is a fun, quirky, bright-coloured bracelet that aims to capture that feeling!

Pale yellow watercolour-print pearls (also seen here) reminiscent of a wam summer's day; ocean wave links and sea-green / aquamarine / aqua blue opal crystals reminiscent of the lovely sea and sky as far as the eye can see. At the centre - a seashell and a dainty sunhat charm reminiscent of a lovely day on the beach - nothing to do but collect seashells and soak in the sun, nary a care in the world.

 I love the cloudy, somewhat-opaque tone of the aqua blue opal chinese crystals. It's their first time making an appearance in my creations! :)

Item Code & Name: 065 California Dreamin'

Price: RM14.00 SALE: RM10 (30% off, while item remains Available)

Status: Available

Materials: Aquamarine, Sea-Green and Aqua Blue Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Pale Yellow Watercolour-Print Faux Pearls, Ocean Wave Links, Seashell Charm, Sun-Hat Charm, Dolphin Charm

Measurements: Approximately 17.5cm (including clasp) + 3cm extender chain

And I shall leave you with the iconic song after which this bracelet was named.

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm if I was in LA 

California dreamin' on such a winter's day

Seafarer | Dreaming of the Sea Collection: Part 2

Ahoy there, mateys!

Part 2 of the Dreaming of the Sea Collection is a tribute to those whose hearts belong at sea - those who sail the seven seas and navigate rough waters - the sailor; the seafarer.

 Alternating aquamarine and sea-green crystals reminiscent of the lovely ocean, a lone starfish link, and charms that are near and dear to the heart of the seafarer - a sailboat, a steer, an anchor, a dolphin, and the moon and stars by which they determine their paths.

 Looks familiar? I made a similar version of this bracelet for my dear sailor friend Ai Li a while ago, with the navy blue and red-striped beads representing traditional sailor colours. Alas, those beads are no longer in stock, but I find that these aquamarine and sea-green crystals also make a striking combination.

Item Code & Name: 064Seafarer

Price: RM18.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Aquamarine and Sea-Green Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Starfish Link, Sailboat Charm, Steer Charm, Anchor Charm, Moon Charm, Star Charm, Dolphin Charm

Measurements: Approximately 18cm (including clasp) + 3cm extender chain

Now gripped with the sudden urge to watch all sorts of seafaring movies, like Pirates of the Caribbean or the Life of Pi. How magnificent and immense is the ocean and how many untold mysteries it holds...

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me...

Seachelles | Dreaming of the Sea Collection: Part 1

Hello all! Hope you've had a wonderful Sunday.

The first part of this current Dreaming of the Sea Collection is something I'm quite excited about.

Firstly, it marks my first attempt at making a long necklace. I've always been a short-chain-and-pendant sort of girl, but thought it was time to make something a little different. Secondly, this is one of those creations that I love so much I want to keep for myself. Haha, so if no one purchases, I will make it mine MOOHAHAHA! Thirdly, this creation contains pretty shiny shell beads! I was really really tempted to name this creation "She Sells Seashells on the Seashore". Heehee. Wouldn't that be lovely? Doesn't it have a nice ring to it? I decided against it in the end, and have called it Seachelles instead, which is basically a quirky pretentious spelling for sea shells. I don't mean the island Seychelles, which I mainly remember as the island all political prisoners were exiled to in history. Let it be known that I have not forgotten my high school Sejarah. My teachers would be proud.

  Alright then. I'll spare you from further rambling and move on to pictures.

  A classy long necklace and earring set with treasures from the sea - lovely seashell beads from the seashore, shiny white and ivory pearls (in this case they are faux pearls as I'm trying to be environmentally-friendly), and cute little dolphin links.

Item Code & Name: SET010 Seachelles

Price: RM31.00 (necklace + earrings) - items can be sold separately, please look below.

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Please see below.

 Close up - I adore the little dolphin links. At first glance they may look like ikan biliis (I just succeeded in making this whimsical necklace sound silly, didn't I? Ikan bilis, honestly self, are you trying to jeopardise your own business?!), but they're really quite cute. Also love the little flower links. You can think of them as sea flowers. Coral flowers,  if you will.

Here's a headless picture of me in a plain black top to give you an idea of where the necklace falls. It's a lovely accompaniment to spruce up your plain tops and dresses, especially boat-necked ones.

Item Code & Name: 062 Seachelles (Necklace)

Price: RM28.00 (necklace only)

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Round Shell Beads, Teardrop-Shaped Glass Beads, Shiny White and Ivory Faux Pearls, Dolphin Links, Flower Links

Measurements: Approximately 87cm (including clasp) + 4cm extender chain

 Matching earrings - tiny ivory pearls, slightly larger shiny white pearls, and lovely shell beads.

Item Code & Name: 063 Seachelles (Earrings)

Price: RM8.00 (earrings only)

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Ivory and Shiny White Faux Pearls, Round Shell Beads

I think I've done a rather terrible job at photoshopping white backgrounds for these white accessories (it's the hardest thing to do!), so here's the set against some silver paper, to give you a better idea of how it looks.

 

I really do quite love the somewhat translucent and shimmery quality of the shell beads. Very pretty. ♥

If you'd like to give this set a home, do email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com!

Now repeat after me 10 times!

She sells seashells on the seashore

She sells seashells on the seashore

Dreaming of the Sea Collection - Masterpost

Hello weekend - never leave me!

 Sometimes when work gets a little too hectic, or when life gets a little too much, we all long for a little weekend getaway, to escape the routine and hustle-bustle of city life, and head towards the sea.

I love sea-side holidays, and often am struck with the desire to visit the sea and contemplate life and all its beauty. This coming collection is a tribute to that. 

There is something infinite and all-encompassing about the ocean. When you stand alone on the seashore, looking out into the vast blue expanse of the ocean, you are reminded of how small you are, how insignificant your daily worries and challenges can be in the face of the ocean's magnificence, in the face of the beauty of this world. 

Hopefully this collection can reflect a little bit of that. If you too, like me, love the sea and all it stands for, I hope you will enjoy the coming pieces. First post starts tomorrow (Sunday). :)

Part 1: Seachelles

Part 2: Seafarer

Part 3: California Dreamin'

Part 4: Under the Sea

Part 5: District 4

(If you are wondering if Part 5 is a Hunger Games reference, you've guessed correct! More to be revealed later.)

Enjoy your Saturday and I'll see you tomorrow!

Marauders

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

If the words above mean nothing to you, you are probably not going to find this post relevant or amusing. However, if you, like me, are a super-geeky fan of all things Harry Potter, please do read on. :)

This time I made a charm bracelet! A charm bracelet in tribute to my favourite Gryffindors. No, it's not the Harry-Hermione-Ron trio, though I do love them as well. It is the brave and valiant from a generation back, who lived in dark times and fought the dark lord, and were capable of great acts of sacrifice, loyalty and bravery. 

They were, of course, the Marauders.

I have not included Peter Pettigrew aka Wormtail, because:

1. BETRAYAL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

2. Who would want a bracelet with a rat on it

3. BETRAYAL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

Now that I've made myself clear, here you have it - a bracelet in tribute to the Marauders sans Wormtail, and with the inclusion of Lily Evans/Potter, Harry's beautiful, warm and courageous mother.

 Faux pearls in red and gold - the proud colours of Gryffindor, a "courage" bead - the house's key quality, and charms to represent each significant adult in Harry's life:

1. Wolf - Dear Moony, Remus Lupin, an amazing teacher and one of my favourite characters.

2. Dog - Padfoot, my other favourite, the dashing Sirius Black, whose loyalty knows no bounds

3. Stag - Prongs, James Potter, also brave beyond measure

4. Fleur de Lis (french for Lily) - Lily Evans, whose love and courage protected Harry from Voldemort's harm.

 A different view. I particularly love the wolf and stag charms.

I've just remembered that these were the 4 that appeared before Harry in the Forbidden Forest, right as he was going to walk to his death, in Book 7. They had all died by then, all sacrificed for the cause, for upholding good over evil. It was only with their strength and their encouragement that Harry could face that painful walk - not alone. *cries a thousand tears*

Item Code & Name: 074 Marauders

Price: RM23.00 

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Gold and Red Faux Pearls, Courage Bead, Wolf Charm, Dog Charm, Stag Charm, Fleur de Lis Charm, Toggle Clasp

Measurements: Approximately 18cm (including clasp)

I shall end this post with a short and succint -

Mischief Managed. 

Desert Rose

One of the key things in accessory-making is making the designs that you love and feel passionate about. I won't be making chunky pandora-style jewelry anytime soon, because that's not my thing. ◡‿◡

However, the thing about always making trinkets you love is that you love them so much that you don't want to sell them! ♥‿♥ Haha. This post contains a set that I personally love and would love to keep for myself, but probably shouldn't, because I only have one neck and 2 wrists and 2 ears. So here I am, sharing it with you, in the hopes that you will love it to and want to buy it too. I can't be keeping everything for myself after all. ◕‿◕

On one of my recent bead-shopping-binges (the same one where I got the lampwork beads for these earrings), I came across these faux pearls in such a lovely dusty pink colour that I absolutely had to get them. There was no question about it. These tiny little things are soft blush/dusty-pink, and go well with a variety of pastel colours as well as earthy tones. The description on the pearls read "light sahara", which is why I'm naming this bracelet-necklace-earring set Desert Rose:

A medley of silver, light lavender and dusty pink faux pearls. 

Flower filigrees and cabochons represent that elusive rose that blooms in the desert, a dainty and lovely sight belying much inner strength and resilience - more than meets the eye.

Item Code & Name: SET013 Desert Rose

Price: RM31.00 (bracelet + earrings + necklace) - items can be sold separately, please look below.

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials: Please see below.

 The bracelet, you can say, is the centrepiece of the set, with a dainty violet rose cabochon as the focal point. I'd also like to point your attention to the lovely antique-looking heart-shaped toggle clasp at the end of the bracelet. So pretty! ♥‿♥

Item Code & Name: 071 Desert Rose (Bracelet)

Price: RM14.00 (bracelet only)

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials: Dusty Pink, Light Lavender and Silver Faux Pearls, Rose Cabochon, Flower Filigree Link, Antique Heart Toggle Clasp
Measurements: Approximately 17cm (including clasp)

 Thought the earrings should be something simple and classy, to complement the fancier styling of the bracelet and necklace. I'm quite tempted to make an array of simple pearl earrings like these in allllll the colours, so I can match them with all my outfits. Haha. Someday, someday.

Item Code & Name: 072 Desert Rose (Earrings)

Price: RM7.00 (earrings only)

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Dusty Pink, Light Lavender and Silver Faux Pearls

 The same combination of pearls, this time accompanied by smaller light purple pearls and flower links, and an intricate swirly flower filigree at the centre.

This necklace is a choker-style necklace, and so to be worn close to the neck, falling right at the clavicle.

Item Code & Name: 073 Desert Rose (Necklace)

Price: RM15.00 (necklace only)

Status: [Sold 2], Available for remakes

Materials: Dusty Pink, Light Lavender and Silver Faux Pearls, Flower Links, Flower Filigree

Measurements: Approximately 38cm (including clasp) + 4.5cm extender chain

I promise I don't bite! :)

To end, here's Sting's homage to the Desert Rose (metaphor for the exotic women in his life, perhaps. Heh) -

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Lampwork

Every now and then you experience a little lapse in creativity and absolutely cannot think of a whimsical / cute name for your creations.

This is one of those times.

I got some pretty lampwork beads from a recent bead-shopping-binge, and was itching to make something for myself. I haven't made anything with lampwork beads before, so this was fun. :)

Here you have it, the oh-so-innovative-and-originally-named "Lampwork".

Cobalt, silver and pink lampwork glass beads, accompanied by twin dangling chains of cobalt chinese crystal doughnuts and blue/cobalt AB czech fire-polished glass beads.

These earrings are almost like a showcase of beads from around the world!
1. Lampwork beads are said to have originated from Murano, Italy (they remind me of the lovely glass-blowing techniques that I had the privilege and pleasure of witnessing on my trip to Venice a couple years back). It's awe-inspiring how the artisans there have created such beautiful, colourful and intricately-patterned glasswork.
2, Chinese crystal doughnuts are, as their namesake suggests, from China.
3. The gorgeous and multi-faceted Czech "Preciosa" fire-polished glass beads hail from the Czech Republic.

Come to think of it, I should have named my earrings "Intercontinental Flair". Or something.

Item Code & Name: 061 Lampwork

Price: RM15.00

Materials: Cobalt Blue Lampwork Beads, Cobalt Blue Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Blue / Cobalt AB Czech "Preciosa" Fire-Polished Glass Beads

The weekend is coming to an end. *cries*

Have a good week ahead, my friends.

For Win

Hola!

I love Saturdays.

Today, this day of August the Seventeeth, is also a very special day for my good friend Win. It's her birthday! I won't reveal her age here. Haha. Age is a sensitive thing after you pass a certain age. (Nooooo it's my birthday soon too. Anyway, this post is not about me. Not everything is about me. ;p)

What do you make for a friend who is quite the opposite from you when it comes to accessories, in that you like dainty, flowery, girly things, and she does not even wear accessories? Haha. I was wracking my brain for something to make for her that is neutral in colour (Colours, what are those?! Give Win monochrome anyday!) and non-dangly and not quite an accessory that she would have to wear on her person. 

Voila - a handbag charm! 

 A basic black and silver handbag charm, with links and charms that mean something:

The chinese knot link to symbolise the bonds of friendship and family, the infinity link to symbolise love everlasting, and the inspire charm to symbolise the life she has lived - so inspiring to so many. :)

Status: Not Available

Materials: Jet Black Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Chinese Knot Link, Infinity Link, Inspire Charm, Lobster Swivel Clasp

On a non-personal note, I'm not sure if anyone is interested in accessories of this nature? If so, do email me and I'll see what I can do and customise from there. :)

~*~❤~*~

 

Deer Friend,

For the year ahead, I wish for you:

Unwavering support and encouragement from your family and friends, in whatever you do;

Love - love abounding, for all the days of your life;

And of course, that you continue to inspire others, as you have been doing, and will undoubtedly continue to do.

Much love,

little old me. :)

Sunflower Splash | Dainty Little Flowers Collection: Part 6

Sunflowers are quite fascinating - always bright and cheery and keen to soak in the sun.

If I were a flower, I reckon I'd be the exact opposite of a sunflower. Haha.

Be that as it may, here I come, bearing a bracelet that is bright, and cheerful, and fun, and joyous - Sunflower Splash! ❁

 Faux pearls in shiny gold and pale yellow watercolour-print matched with light yellow chinese crystal doughnuts, clover links and a sunny yellow flower cabochon on an intricately-patterned charm.

 This bracelet introduces a new faux pearl that I am quite enamoured with - it is pale yellow in colour, and has a swirly/flowery print in sunny yellow and light magenta - much like each individual pearl was painted on with watercolour, giving it quite a vintage and artsy feel.

Item Code & Name: 055 Sunflower Splash

Price: RM15.00

Status: [Sold], Available for Remakes

Materials: Gold and Pale Yellow Watercolour-Print Faux Pearls, Light Yellow Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Clover Links, Flower Link, Flower Cabochon, Intricately-Patterned Round Charm, Rose Charm

Does your day require a little cheering up? Do you need a reminder sometimes to look on the bright side of things and to look up and be reminded that the sun will go on shining, no matter the circumstance? To purchase this, all you have to do is email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com :) ♥

And there you have it, the last part of the Dainty Little Flowers Collection.

Peach Petals | Dainty Little Flowers Collection: Part 5

Today's been a looooong day. 

But I'm home now, so all is fine and peachy. And with that, I shall awkwardly segue into today's post - Part 5 of the Dainty Little Flowers Collection:  Peach Petals ❁

After the vibrant blue and purple, sweet pink and fresh green of the previous installments, I thought it would be nice to make a bracelet and earring set in sweeter, softer tones. 

Shades of soft peach, ivory, light rosaline and cloudy opal give the bracelet and earring set a mellow and vintage feel.

Item Code & Name: SET009 Peach Petals

Price: RM23.00 (bracelet + earrings) - items can be sold separately, please look below.

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes  (further remakes of the bracelet will have a different flower cabochon (same soft-peach colour))

Materials: Please see below.

A chain of ivory pearls, light rosaline crystals and cloudy opal crystals (my personal favourite) and the occasional silver-plated flower disc bead. The centrepiece: a soft peach flower cabochon on an intricate silver filigree.

 Notice the similarities in design to one of the previous installments - Pink Peonies? The designs are supposed to complement each other. So these two sets are suitable for sisters. best friends, or your selected partner in crime. Alternatively, you could buy both for yourself, and wear them on different days, depending on whether you're feeling sweet and demure or feeling calm and mellow. :)

I'm only an email away!

The next and last installment of the collection will be posted this Thursday - Sunflower Splash! ❁

Minty Meadows | Dainty Little Flowers Collection: Part 4

Off-topic moment: Poor Dato' Lee Chong Wei, having a muscle cramp at that important moment. Oh well, he fought valiantly, as he always does. Malaysia loves you! <3

Now for something a little different - a necklace! 

Haven't made that many necklaces - the last 2 collections were all bracelets, so I thought it was time to spice things up a little. Speaking of spice, I had the spiciest Korean cup noodles for lunch today. Almost died. My tongue was on fire. Okay. Enough with the randomness and onto the actual post!

Here we have Minty Meadows ❁, named, of course, after the fresh mint and green shades of the cabochons and crystals on the necklace.

 Dainty little mint-green rose cabochons on the chain of the necklace, connecting to a teal green flower cabochon pendant with twin dangling emerald crystal teardrops. (Also, I really like the arrangement of the necklace in this photo. It's very artsy fartsy. Heehee)

 A close-up. Or closer-up. The teal green flower cabochon is mounted on an intricate celtic flower link (as used here) while the mint green roses are mounted on ocean wave links (as used here).

Love the emerald crystal teardrops - they add a certain glamorous touch to the necklace.

Item Code & Name: 052 Minty Meadows

Price: RM23.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Rose and Flower Cabochon, Celtic Flower Link, Ocean Wave Links, Emerald Chinese Crystal Teardrops

Update 1st Oct 2013
This necklace now comes with matching earrings.

Pink Peonies | Dainty Little Flowers Collection: Part 3

Hi hello!

Half of the long weekend has gone. Not sure if I should start mourning yet.

Instead of holding a pity party for me, myself and I, here's the next installment of the Dainty Little Flowers collection. 

The thing about alliteration is that you have to choose the best word starting with a letter that fits your purposes, so this next set - Pink Peonies ❁ - may not actually contain any peonies. It was just a name of a flower that started with P and sounded pretty. That's my creative motto for you - it sounded pretty / it looked pretty. This post is making me sound like an airhead. I have hidden depths of intelligence, I swear. ｡◕‿◕｡

 A bracelet and earring set in sweet, soft hues of pink and rosaline, accompanied by dainty little flower cabochons and links.

Item Code & Name: SET008 Pink Peonies

Price: RM22.00 (bracelet + earrings) - items can be sold separately, please look below.

Status: Available for remakes (bracelet is available for a different remake - see below)

Materials: Please see below.

A chain of clear and rosaline crystals interchanging with silky rosaline pearls and the occasional antique silver-plated daisy link. At the heart of the bracelet: a sweet pink flower cabochon on an intricate silver filigree.

Item Code & Name: 050 Pink Peonies (Bracelet)

Price: RM16.00 (bracelet only)

Status: [Sold], Available for different remake (I've run out of this particular flower cabochon - it can be replaced with a pink dahlia (seen here!))

Materials:  Rosaline Faux Pearls, Clear and Rosaline Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Antique Silver-Plated Daisy Links, Flower Cabochon, Square Silver Filigree, Made with Love Charm
Measurements: Approximately 18.5cm (including clasp) + 3cm extender chain

 Lovely little rose cabochons on flower filigrees, with twin dangling chains capped off at the end with a rosaline pearl and rosaline crystal. I'm quite fond of these earrings. They're just so sweet and demure (what I'm not, haha).

Item Code & Name: 051 Pink Peonies (Earrings)

Price: RM9.00 (earrings only) 

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials:  Rosaline Faux Pearls, Rosaline Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Rose Cabochons, Flower Filigree Links

I only have a limited amount of the flower and rose cabochons, so the availability of all items in the Dainty Little Flowers collection is limited! So hurry, hurry, email me to make an order. :)

If you prefer a particular colour theme on a different bracelet design, customisation is possible too. :D

Hmm what other flowers start with P?

Petunias - this just reminds me of Harry Potter's bony and rigid aunt.

Pansies - hello, Pansy Parkinson the sneaky Slytherin girl.

Periwinkles - ah, this is a pretty name for a pretty flower. If I'm not mistaken, blue in colour.

Primrose - very pretty too. This reminds me of Katniss's sister.

Poppies - *strong craving for orange poppy seed cake* Fun fact - large quantities of poppy seeds can be made into opium.

Why am I talking about drugs on my handmade accessories blog? o__O Better sign off before I move on to even weirder topics.

Toodles!

Coming soon - Minty Meadows ❁
