Apples = jewels

Today I decided it was time to ignite some fire into my hobby of making jewelery. And thusly three new necklaces were born, of which I'm fairly content with :p

Having bought two new storage units (one looks like a smaller briefcase, where the compartments can be taken out separately, and the other like a regular tool-keeping unit you'd see in a workshop) makes it a whole lot easier to work. Before it took ages to get stuff in front of me, sort out what I wanted to use, put back the left overs, and there'd still be a ton of things to clean off the work surface. Most of the time the desk looked more intimidating to approach than inspiring xD

Now I can easily find what I need without spending precious time on cleaning up while creating ^_^

On with the show, starting with the three pieces made today:

^ Quite pleased with it, especially how it grew naturally/quickly from just wanting to use the green drop to a finished necklace :)

^ This one went rather fast to make, as well, though it would've been fun to have tiny bells at the bottom but I'm good with how it looks anyway.

^ Most of the stuff I do come out very cluttered so I've been working on trying to keep some pieces simple/clean. Mom thought it looks modern which would be a good thing, seeing as I'd like to be broad in my creativity ^_^

And now for some slightly older ensembles:

^ Didn't have the pieces I wanted/needed for this necklace but finished it anyway. Hopefully my latest batch of beads will come in next week so I can polish it up :-/

^ Started off as a three-row necklace and during it's progression towards a finished piece (with merely two rows) I begrudgingly discovered that I need a lot of more practice with three-rows after having all of my collected attempts fail on some level >.>;

^ Not quite finished. Unsure of how to finish it off (lawl). Overall I'm very pleased with how it came out :)

^ Another three-rowed necklace that survived above my expectations into a two-row necklace :o I bought a bag of fishies in mixed colors and the idea hit me to position the fish in a middle row, to make it really look like it was in water. The end result is a much more stylized version of my original idea. Can't say it doesn't please me, though :p

That's it for this round, kids! Look forward to sharing more in a near future (seeing as I'll more than likely have lots of free time to create now >.>)! :3
