For Audrey.

My bestie has a weird sense of style. By weird I mean, something I wouldnt wear/put together/think of. So we were talking one day and she mentioned how cool it would be to make a necklace out of like fishing wire so you dont see the chain and it would look like the pendent would be "floating" on you. I thought that was kinda weird and might be uncomfortable (but it might just be me, I dont like wearing jewelry for long periods of time, especially necklaces, I have a habit of moving them around a lot). So I came up with a solution to that.



Aquamarine Starfish Swarovski crystal + star chain + star toggle.


I did the fishing wire/beading wire necklace part (I know its not really made to hold a necklace so hopefully she doesnt tug on this!!) then I put a star chain on the area that's suppose to behind your neck for more comfort and of course with my OCD, I just had to finish it with a star toggle.



Taking pictures of this was hard since its on a clear wire and it doesnt show up well. But here's what the whole thing looks like, again, I know the wire is hard to see. I was hoping the dark colors of the book cover would help... but, nope.



And just because I like taking pictures of things. I cant get over how pretty this crystal is!


If you're interested in one of those, please do let me know. You're free to change the color and shape of the crystal as well =).

Mom's birthday gift.

I wanted to do this for Mother's Day, but for some odd reason... I didnt. So I decided to do this for her birthday. I wanted to make her a necklace. I didnt really know what I wanted to make her around Mother's Day so I'm glad I held off on it until her birthday, I came up with this idea a few weeks before.


Leo charm + Peridot Butterfly Swarovski crystal.




This is the first necklace I ever made and it was a pretty fun process, it was really relaxing. The most difficulty I had with this was finding a bail big enough for the butterfly crystal. I broke about two smaller bails trying to figure it out lol. Good thing Martin found me this cute little set that had a bunch of different sizes!



Leo & star charm + Blue Flower Swarovski crystal.


This was also for my mom. This is the very first thing I ever made with Swarovski's. But I ended up giving it to her early cause I was just so excited about it lol. Its a cell phone charm!

I also made myself a similar necklace to the one I made her but I havent taken pictures of it yet. I have another necklace I plan on making (once my supplies get here) and another necklace in progress that my bestie had an idea for. If I end up satisfied with either one, I might just include them in a giveaway on my beauty blog.
