Flowers in the Rain

Lo and behold, it's the end of April!

Raise your hand if you're excited about the beautifully long weekend we have ahead of us... ah, how I love public holidays. :)

Today's post features a bracelet that I made for my mummy. The name comes from the stone beads that are featured in this bracelet (also previously featured here). As they're known as Rain Flower Stones (雨花石), I thought it'd be fitting. 

 An oriental-inspired bracelet featuring a chinese knot link, pink-green-translucent rain flower stones, white opal and rose opal chinese crystal doughnuts.

Item Code & Name: 389 Flowers in the Rain

Price: RM18.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: White Opal / Rose Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Rain Flower Stones, Chinese Knot Link

Measurements: Approximately 17.5cm (including clasp)

Good night, go forth, and enjoy your mini-holiday, dear readers! :)

Frosted Hearts - Customised

Relatively short post coz it's late! :D

My friend Ai Li is no stranger to this blog, and now makes a reappearance in the pair of earrings that she recently customised. She really liked the pretty crystal doughnuts that I recently featured in this pair of earrings, you see, and wanted me to customise something with them.

Here's Frosted Hearts -

 Chinese crystal doughnuts of the opal/frosted variety - soft and sweet shades of white opal, rose opal and lavender opal, with celtic heart beads. The white opal crystals are almost invisible in the picture above (largely due to my lack of photoshop skillz), so the picture below is against a silver background for clearer viewing.

Item Code & Name: 388 Frosted Hearts

Price: RM8.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: White Opal / Rose Opal / Lavender Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Celtic Heart Beads

So if you're looking for a demure and sweet pair of earrings, look no further!

Magenta Mine

In a bit of a melancholy mood tonight, so indulge me a little, dear readers.

And I shall preface this with a little "yes, yes, I know that this is an accessories business and not an outlet for the silly author's feelings"... so I shall keep it short. You ever feel just a little bit lost, a bit unmoored in the vast ocean that is life? Yeah... I get struck with that feeling sometimes, and now is one of those times.

So I decided to wallow a little by listening to one of the most bittersweet and wistful Chinese oldies that I know. I had to share it, coz sharing is caring, ya know? Gosh, cry me a river and let me drown in those tears.

Okay, now that I've gotten those feelings out of the way, we're onto the actual point of this post.

Here's a pair of earrings I made for myself, coz today is apparently a me day:

 Magenta flower-painted ceramic beads, with magenta faux pearls. Made to match one of my Bangkok acquisitions. Named Magenta Mine because they're magenta... and they're mine. I'm oozing creativity, I know.

Item Code & Name: 387 Magenta Mine

Price: RM11.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Magenta Flower Ceramic Beads, Magenta Faux Pearls

Sorry for the rather maudlin post.
I shall go wallow in more sad songs now. :p

晚安~

Starlight Promenade

Hey folks!

Sorry for the prolonged absence - I have been busy with other projects. Here's a pair of earrings that I made for myself, featuring another new acquisition from Bangkok - these gorgeous, shiny flat crystal teardrops. :)

Hope Springs

So... my mummy somehow managed to lose the handbag charm that I made for her (here!) (or someone stole it off her handbag, le gasp!), so I made her a new one.

This one features the same Live Love Laugh charm, and some new stones that I found in Bangkok that I am super in love with. Here's Hope Springs:

 Charms and beads that remind me of my mum the most - Hope, an encouragement to always Live well, Laugh often and Love always. Made with love, and featuring my newest Bangkok find - these lovely semi-precious stones that I think are Rain Flower Stones (雨花石). I can't be very sure, since these weren't labelled in the tiny Chatuchak stall that I found them in... but aren't they pretty? Adore the pinkish green blend, and the stones are cool to the touch. 

Item Code & Name: 384 Hope Springs

Price: RM15.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Rain Flower Stones, Hope Bead, Made With Love Charm, Live Love Laugh Charm

This is dedicated to all the mummies out there. :)

Opalline

Hi folks!

I'm excited about this post as it's the first to feature beads from Bangkok! So after braving the scorching and sweltering and crawl-out-of-your-skin and douse-yourself-in-icecubes heat of Chatuchak, I found the section and lanes that sold beads! Row after row of semi-precious stones and crystals and beads. *___* Being the fine example of self-control that I am, I limited myself to a few choice purchases. 

Here's the first, named opalline, as it features chinese crystal doughnuts in pretty opal shades. 

 I've not been able to find these shades here -- rose opal and lavender opal chinese crystal doughnuts, coupled with my favourite clover links and cutesy rose charms. Absolutely adoreee the cloudy opal shades of these crystals.

Item Code & Name: 383 Opalline

Price: RM8.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Rose Opal / Lavender Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Clover Links, Rose Charms

If you like these lovely frosted shades, order a remake of this or customise something with them. 

All you gotta do is email me at

Now excuse me while I go stare at my beads for a while. :D Adieu!

Garden Blossoms - Customised

 Happy Thursday!

Sometimes, my customers come up with the best ideas. :) When my well of ideas runs dry, they manage to dream up ideas that look much prettier than what I could've envisioned. :D Crowd-sourcing, yo!

Melanie, who is a necklace enthusiast, really liked the gorgeous magenta flower ceramic bead from this necklace. She wanted it combined with faux pearls, and after a few revisions, we incorporated the lovely Believe ring and this is the result!

Faux pearls in an almost-ombre sequence of sweet pink, dusty pink and maroon, and a ceramic bead with magenta blossoms dangling from a Believe ring.

The antique brass links and chain complement the pink/purple/red tones of this necklace.

 

Item Code & Name: 381 Garden Blossoms
Price: RM22.00
Status: [Sold], Available for Remakes
Materials: Sweet Pink, Dusty Pink & Maroon Faux Pearls, Believe Ring, Magenta-Flower Ceramic Bead

​Guten Nacht!

Vintage Summer - Customised

Hellooooo!

I am back from Bangkok and have shopped up a storm and maaaaan do I miss it. :D Bought some beads too, which will soon be featured in this little blog of mine! But first - here's a little bracelet that Kelsey customised. It's based on this Summer Daze necklace.

Kelsey liked the flower and the pale yellow flower-print pearls, but wanted to replace the gold faux pearls with something a little lighter in colour, something a little more vintage. And thus, Vintage Summer was born:

Pale yellow flower print and pale green faux pearls form the chain of the bracelet, connected with vintage-looking ocean wave links, and an off-white flower cabochon danging from a flower filigree link.

Alas, I've run out of this off-white sunflower cabochon, so remakes will have to feature other flowers.

Item Code & Name: 380 Vintage Summer

Price: RM18.00

Status: [Sold], Available for different remake (the flower cabochon has to be substituted)

Materials: Pale Green and Pale Yellow Watercolour-Print Faux Pearls, Ocean Wave Link, Off-White Sunflower Cabochon, Flower-Shaped Filigree

Measurements: Approximately 17.5cm (including clasp) 

 

 That's all for now. :)

Spotlight - Bookmarks

This is a scheduled post, as I am currently traipsing around Bangkok, hopefully shopping till I drop and eating till I can't anymore. :D 

This post will focus on bookmarks that I've made in the past - ones that I particularly love. Bookmarks make great presents for most people - they're versatile, don't require that much tailoring to personal taste, and serve a great purpose (unless the person in question doesn't read books, haha).

Here are some bookmarks (click on the names of each to go to their original posts!)

 I Believe (RM22)

 Olive Grove (RM13)

 Nymphaea (RM23)

Vintage Spring (RM18)

That's all for now - will be back soon!

Porcelain - Customised

Helloooo!

I'm going off on a mini-vacation from tomorrow till Sunday, so gotta rush! This will be a short post. :)

When Jaycee customised the mushroom and macaron handbag charms, she also wanted to put her own spin to this Porcelain bracelet. Here's the customised version:

 Off-white clay beads handpainted with swirls and zigzag patterns, in porcelain blue and jet black ink, and a reminder to be courageous and have hope.

 Gotta love the painstakingly hand-painted swirls and zigzag patterns in these Lun Bawang beads.

Item Code & Name: 378 Porcelain (Customised)

Price: RM30.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials: Blue Swirl, Black Swirl and Blue Zigzag Lun Bawang Beads, Clear Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Courage Bead, Heart Bead, Toggle Clasp

Measurements: Approximately 16.5cm (including clasp)

I've run out of the Black Swirl beads, but if you wish for a remake without those beads, we can work something out.

I'm travelling, so responses may not be as frequent, yeah? :)

That's all for now, be back early next week!
