Four glass vial-style bottles of beads and hardware (with charms) for making necklaces and/or bracelets.
CC Week 36: From on High
I made a necklace, or should I say, I almost finished making a necklace. It has been sitting in a rarely used room for quite some time, literally gathering dust.
center pendant was from an earring that belonged to my grandmother (mom's side). i used the other earring in a necklace for my sister. ;o)
These days I am dealing with the pre-christmas crisis that hits me every year, for things to work out I have to start in October.
Last year, I had just moved to a new city and had started my first year in school, so basically decided to just do a few custom orders and focus more on getting adjusted to my new life.
This year on the other hand, I started to feel a bit more confident about my work (the artistic side of it that is) and building my own language, trying new techniques,etc.
Takes a lot of time to make each of these pieces and I am happy that I am forced to develop more personal work. Long gone are the days I made something thinking it had to sell, it had to be silver, it had to be perfect , now they are perfect in my own terms and which I hope to have the chance to keep developing in the future.
But then this week it just hit me! There are bills to pay, christmas is coming, I have 5 physical shops to fill, my poor online shop is quite empty at the moment and I have a half way made website, I have to make jewelry for 2 expositions and my school work… all this after the 7h I am in class.
I have to go back to production!
Which leaves a gap of 4 to 5 hours of work every afternoon before I drop and weekends.
I am writing all this kind of to make it clear in my head, when life brings CHAOS and it seems impossible, I tend to freak out, sleeping? no way, tend to slow down as well, but then out of the blue, I turn the “turbo” on and work like there is no tomorrow, it is only for one month an a half.
I think it’s interesting how these little storms happen,and how somehow it feels like there is too much going on, that overwhelming feeling that you work 10 hours and at the end of the day feels you didn’t do very much, it has happened before and it is just so worth it at the end...
Wish me luck and if you ever want to find me, remember I will be living here.

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. Appreciation is the language of the heart, a gentle whisper that says, ‘You matter.’" ☀️💛
Wearing "The Shellshock Collection" by @dominella Owner of SL Brand @shopdomelle- this collection is the epitome of oceanic luxury with an edge—where pearls meet gilded seashells in a dance of elegance. 🐚💛
Anyone who knows me knows my love for pearls runs deep. They embody grace, wisdom, and the timeless beauty of nature—a treasure born from the sea. So, of course, I couldn’t resist adding this collection to my own.

One of our good friends gifted us a jewelry making experience tonight. The experience itself was quick but it was really fun getting to break apart our own shards of glass and create designs that will eventually become pendants. I'm looking forward to seeing how they turned out. :)
the little found objects were precious to begin with - from the beach, the river, our ground...
just a bit of silver, gold and copper leaf added, they will blink in future jewelry pieces :)
