Great Weekend

This weekend was really good! I had nothing to do for college so I took some time for myself... I did my manicure and pedicure, I straighten my hair and applied all my face creams. Also, I started to do aerobics, zumba and other workouts with my sister; I feel pretty good! Let's see if I don't back down. Anyway, (as always) I couldn't finish my weekend without doing some jewelry, so I did an order of six bracelets. These are for four different clients.

For Me?

Being a crafter has its advantages... I can do my own jewelry! Before I started to make jewelry, I used to go shopping for my accessories every time a had a wedding or other activity. But now, I do my own jewelry for every type of activity and even for daily use. Last night I decided to make me a new bracelet. I wanted it to be different, I incorporated some old ideas with new ones I've seen on the internet.

Special Bookmark

I like to read and I was in need of a bookmark, so I decided to make my own. I took some decorated papers and stickers from the scrapbooking materials I have. I wanted the bookmark to be unique so I was looking for a picture to incorporate it to the design. I found an old wallet picture of my boyfriend and I when we started our relationship; so I thought “that’s the one!”.  I cut some decorated papers, glued the photo and used some love themed stickers. Then I used my mom’s laminating machine. And… this is the final result.

Meaningful Bracelet

Some of the bracelets I've done have their own meaning. Most of the time I help my clients to design their own. But, if it is a bracelet with charms, I tell my clients to pick their own. I have my own meaningful bracelet,  it's a white pearls bracelet with 4 charms.

 

My Two Favorites

Of all the bracelets, necklaces and earring I have made, I have my favorites. It's was hard picking my two favorites, but here I go...

I began doing jewelry for myself; for activities as New Year's Eve, weddings, family reunions, etc. One of my two favorites is a set of bracelet, necklace and earrings I wore for New Year's Eve 2010. I made it with swarovski beads.
