Bridal gloves

I just love fingerless gloves!
These are made from fine cotton and would make a wonderful complement to a bride's gown. You can tie the ribbon with the flower where you prefer, near the wrist or above the elbow to keep them from falling down so easily.

Raspberry fingerless gloves

Some time ago I found an old shawl made from this unusual stitch and I just couldn't help but try to understand how it was done. It did take some 20mins before I got it right, but then I just had to make something with it. I've always loved this sort of gloves, so, instead of just one pair I made two! So, one pair's looking for a new home, contact me if you want to adopt it! :)

Kanzashi the easy way

Keep in mind this is not the traditional way, but I think it's a lot more simple and a good way to start. I can't get the image to open in full size, so, if you're interested, download here.

Another necklace with medallion

Made by request and similar to a previous one. I'm really enjoying wrapping the glass medallions with the metal rings.

More chainmaille bracelets

More chainmaille bracelets for men, E6-1 and E4-1.

Pirate ear-cuff

My ears aren't pierced, so, sometimes I saw earrings with which I fell in love with but couldn't wear. Of course, there are clip earrings but they often hurt or fall off easily and I never liked them much, until I discovered ear cuffs! As payback for all the earringless years, I decided to make a rather flashy one and the funny thing is, it really doesn't hurt or fall off in spite of its weight.

Hair barrettes

Inspired by the traditional Japanese art of fabric flower making, these barrettes are medium sized and ideal for the nearing Spring days.

"Eire" set

I think the photos don't do this piece justice (especially in this small size, please click on the image for full view), the wire's so much shinier in person.

Materials used: jewellery grade copper (it won't tarnish), anodized green aluminium, swarovski crystals (colour peridot) and glass doughnuts.
This was inspired by Ireland, its green fields and copper swirls reminiscent of its Celtic tradition.

Byzantine weave necklace

My order of Swarovski crystals finally arrived and they're really so beautiful! Now, of course, I have a thousand ideas of what to do with them, time's never enough but we'll get there slowly! :)
It was the first time I tried using half-persian to encase the medallion and it was an head ache at first but finally I got it right and loved the result, I think it's a very discrete and elegant piece.

Chainmaille bracelet

Another chainmaille E4-1 bracelet. It's made from 1mm wire and counts about 300 rings. I hope the new owner likes it. :)

Old bejeweled box from Atlantis

Don't be fooled, this is neither old nor metallic! The metal parts (except for the lock and hinges) are all just painted cardboard!

Believe it or not, this took me almost two full working days to finish and that's not even counting the drying times. But I had lots of fun doing it and hope to do some more in this style.

Wall art

Toilet paper rolls, acrylics and glue! I loved the idea and the outcome, so I have lots of ideas for more projects, I just have to collect many more rolls!

Butterfly fairy

A classical fairy, fully painted in watercolour, plays with her butterfly friends.

Bros

Inspired by the TV show Supernatural, a birthday card digitally drawn and coloured.
I really was aiming at the "oh, so cute" look, don't know if I got it, hope so. :)

"Fruit candy" earrings

They remind me of fruit candies, what do you think?
Made from diverse materials: seed beads, glass and acrylic beads, crystals, quartz chips, etc.
In order: raspberry, blueberry, red plum and lime.

Purple's fashionable

Still experimenting with the metal rings. 1mm aluminium wire and acrylic beads, they're super light.

Chibi Vincent Valentine

You already know I love Final Fantasy and Vincent in particular, no need to repeat myself. :)
It seems like nowadays I only get any drawing finished, no matter how simple it is, if it's a gift for someone. This is a birthday card for a friend who shares my passion for the Final Fantasy world.
Drawn on paper, scanned and coloures in Photoshop.
2009 new year resolution: get back to drawing and painting again!

Neck warmer

A simple crocheted neck warmer. I fell in love with that yarn as soon as I saw it at the store! :) This was a birthday gift for a good friend. Looks maybe a bit too large for her neck, but I that's because she was in her night gown here! :))

Hand warmer

What do you do when you're stuck at home because of a bad ear infection? I decided to make these hand warmers in red (to go with the neck warmer) but there was no way I could make the yarn enough, that's how they ended up with this colour combination not much to my liking.

Elven necklace

Inspired by The Lord of Rings (don't ask exactly in what, but the idea came to mind when I was browsing through some drawings inspired by the books and movies), a very light necklace that flows like fabric. Made from a multitude (I've stopped counting) of 1mm aluminium rings, with 5mm internal diameter each, in european chain maille 4-in-1. Aluminium's not only extremely light but also imitates silver quite well, if it begins to tarnish you only have to put the necklace in a jar with a handful of rice and shake it until it's bright again.
