Pissed off and Productive

You know, when you have those days, when
you are sooo pissed off you just want to
smash EVERYTHING, including the amazing China you
have been saving for when 
"the king/president/Hugh Jackman visits", because
it will just make you feel good even for a few minutes?????
Well, I have been having **those** kind
of days..
And I know that if I do smash everything
that can be smashed, I will be sorry
later. Not because I will
have destroyed all my glasses/jars/vases
but because I will have to do the
clean up myself. yep. 

Anyway, this post is not about me telling
you the reasons I have been so
pissed off, but no, they have nothing
to do with that post.

I just decided that I will not do any smashing
and I will take all this energy and do 
something creative with it.
So, I did.

I made twisted wire. I mean, I made it.
Took pieces of left over wire (because I m 
running really low on supplies too.*head desk)
and just started twisting it. 
It took me a while.

I actually made more. I also made twisted
wire out of brass and more copper.
no more silver though.

But, not only did I make twisted wire
I also used it in some designs.


Can I say I am reaaaaally pleased with these???

And I also made these, well not out of twisted wire,
but I was in a productive-pissed off frenzy!


yummy :)

oh...and I also remade this :


which you can find here




What do YOU do when you are pissed off??

258 photos

 I had to edit...yep...it took me a while..
But I did it! yay me!
I was getting a bit tired of the plain
white background at my shop
so I thought about re shooting my items
using something softer, warmer...

In the meanwhile, I finished some
more Pearl oyster stud earrings!
























So, what do you think?

Do you like the new background?

Using Less Sterling Silver...

I had a long discussion with myself 
the other day, concerning metals
It is obvious that silver is becoming a 
really expensive metal.. 
And each time I buy silver I m 
becoming more and more reluctant
 about using it. 
So, I m looking at it on my work 
bench and bang! thoughts like these pop :

I will create a big statement piece!...
No no no..it will be really expensive... 
No no, I d rather make sth small, 
sth for everyday, sth that will not be expensive
ok..how about making a pair of earrings? 
No, no I better make a pendant first

And these thoughts take a lot of my 
design-making jewelry time.
Plus, they make me feel less creative..
and I don't like that.

So, I have decided to use more Brass 
and Copper in my designs.
I will still use Sterling of course, 
but in smaller pieces
except for Custom Orders J

and some fabric :)

Today, I have decided to show you

with enameling..I ve made some post
earrings a few weeks back which you can see here and
here ..
And I ve made a few more :)
