Capri..I'm back.

The past two days had been very productive to me. After weeks of no new creation, I was finally inspired... again!

I tried to create a piece weeks ago but to no avail. Believe me, I tried but perhaps I wasn't really inspired enough to actually even touch the beads. I've looked at it, over and over and still nothing came up. So I decided to let go and stop.

Then, while watching the television, I was struck by a lightning of an inspiration and immediately went and grabbed my supplies and started this.

I love this Capri necklace to the point of even thinking of keeping it for myself.

Where the Continents Meet

Less than 30 minutes before midnight, I received a lovely surprise of being included in this interesting treasury by dralion44. 

So proud of my Istanbul bracelet for making it in this lovely curated finds.

Washington

 

New shot of my Washington necklace. Taken at my inspiration room which one of these days, I'll show in this blog. This is one of my favorite formal pieces in my shop.

new camera, new photos

Took new photos of current collection in my site. Now that I have this new camera, I just can't help but be carried away. I'm still learning though as it's not easy at all.  I hope this will breathe new life to my accessories.

So excited!

therapeutic treasury

Though I'm a bit under the weather, I still made time to curate my spring treasury. 

I guess, this is my home remedy for this flu. 

Enjoy...

Hamilton Island

This bracelet generated quite a number of pageviews to my etsy account because it was featured in a special Etsy Finds "Southern Exposure" article.
I wonder when my next lucky day will be. Sometimes, I just feel impatient. 
I just need that one big break...

A quartz bracelet

Presenting....


ZURICH


The lovely quartz became a lovelier statement bracelet.


Perfect for a hot date, or partying with your pals.


Now available in my shop.

Quartz!

Tomorrow, this beautiful faceted bicone shaped black and white quartz will be on my shop. I'm doing the finishing touches now and I can't wait to upload it. 


The bracelet took some time to make because the beads that complement this focal point were kinda miniscule. I reckon, my hands and eyes are so stressed out right now from trying to fit  the beading wire into the hole, hahaha! 


Anyway, hope someone out there like my new inspiration...

Lariat

Something's cookin'....

My latest turquoise lariat.

Check it out in my shop.

Sold!

It's always difficult to part ways with my baby. And I consider every single item on my shop one. It's even more difficult when you know that you only have one in stock because everything is made  based on inspiration and exclusivity.

I guess, that's the life of an artist. I am sure though that Dalat will be cherished by the new owner.

Dalat (in Vietnam), the romantic getaway.

Angkor Wat

Seems like my Angkor Wat earrings is in the spotlight these days.

Another lovely treasury curated by Lovely Wire.

Solo Exhibit

I have to admit, that being featured solo at Eden Closet's  treasury made me feel more special. It's like having a one woman show  or the coming of age of a budding artist :)

Angkor Wat is truly a magical place. Been there in 2003.I fondly remember that it was not just the destination itself that made this trip extra special for me, it was the entire journey from Ho Chi Minh City all the way to Phnom Penh and eventually to my ultimate destination, Angkor Wat.

Treasury on a beautiful Sunday morning

My Penang bracelet is featured again in another treasury.

Thanks Katie King for including me.

Beautiful Sunday indeed. 

Will be going home for the Chinese New Year holiday. Can't wait to be home and be inspired. 

Wanaka

My new dream destination. 

Where I come from, only a few wants to be here. 
It's either far or expensive or perhaps, not just in the radar at the moment as the go-to destination unless it's part of the Lord of the Rings trek.

But for me, it seems like heaven.

That's why I was pleasantly surprised when an ex-colleague went here  with the entire family during  the recent Christmas / New Year holiday. My dream came true....with them :)

Why do I love Wanaka?
I can't even count the ways...

All I can say is... it's simply breathtaking.

And this bracelet was inspired by that.  Check this out at my etsy site.

Caracas

My Caracas necklace found a home somewhere in the US.

As a jewelry 'artist', I love all my creations but there are some that I love even more and have difficulty parting with. This is one of them. 

Must be the rich colors plus the teardrop shape of the tourmaline that appeals to my inner senses.

I guess, what's important, someone out there will be wearing this beauty.

First treasury in 2011!

Thanks CraftMeSilly for including my Penang bracelet in your lovely treasury. 

I miss Malaysia too, especially the food.
