Crystal searching.

I got two new shipments of crystals that came in late last week and I had a few things in mind but I also bought some stuff yesterday. I was wondering, when those of you who make jewelry what things to you put into consideration when you're searching for crystals? Do you buy whatever looks cute? Or do you have a certain project in mind when you buy your crystals? Sometimes I do both, or sometimes something will kinda put itself together while I'm there, but a lot of the time I buy things that I think are cute and I get home an I have nothing to pair it with! Grrr.

I had a few Fall idea's in mind (like I've been mentioning over and over again) and now that I have the crystals I totally forgot what I had in mind!! Haha. I hate when that happens. I usually write it down, but sometimes I forget to write down the details. I usually just write down the supplies which sometimes, are no help at all. I kinda just wish I had a bigger selection of things to work with, which I dont since jewelry making isnt exactly cheap.

Also! When you make bracelets, what do you use? I have wire but I dont know if that's the right thing to use? A friend of mine asked me to make her a bracelet and I have no idea what to use to hold it all together.

Hopefully I think of something new today, I need to put some new things out. And I'm having a mini jewelry sale (as in 2 items lol) or I might just wait til my new stuff comes out. Havent really decided just yet...

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.
