New Fruity Bracelets

Thanks for the feedback on the last post, I had decided that I should just stick to what I already have instead of wasting time and energy fussing over old photos. Must concentrate on adding more item!

Here are the new batch of jewelry and stationary I made throughout last week, keeping up with one creation each day.

Title : Fruity Popsicle
Status : Available
Price : USD23.00

I had so much fun with this one! It reminds me of ice cream, the colors on the umbrella of the street side ice cream vendor. Paddle pop ice cream!! I haven't had those in a while.

Title : Kiwi Flower (bracelet)
Status : Available
Price : USD23.00

Like the one above, I tried to add more to the basic pearl cluster bracelets. This one with cute kiwi beads and green flowers. I made a shorter one for myself. (my wrist is super small!) So this would be the first item that is not OOAK. Lime green is such a difficult color to capture on film. :(

Title : Indian Dancer
Status : Available
Price : USD12.00

Title : Red Gypsy
Status : Available
Price : USD12.00

Both the earrings above looks so... indian! The Red Gypsy is actually made with upcycled toggle loops. Two sets of the toggles I bought have faulty sticks (broken/faulty loop) and since I have a pair, I decided I should not waste it. It's the same toggle I use for my bracelets.

And finally, bookmark restock! Since I sold most of my supplies not too long ago. The first one is inspired by Nite Owl from Watchmen :D

Title : Nite Owl
Status : Available
Price : USD12.00

Title : I Dream of a Garden
Status : Available
Price : USD12.00

Title : Kiwi Flower (bookmark)
Status : Available
Price : USD12.00

The Kiwi Flower bookmark was like a 'preliminary round' for the Kiwi Flower bracelet, an experiment with colors to see how they will look with the final product. If you're interested in buying them both as a set, contact me and we could discuss a discount! :D

kyou!! hello! i just stumbled across your etsy and blog the other day and i'm in love with your jewellery. it's so happy and colourful! i adore the colour combinations you use.

i want to buy something off you, but the trouble is i have really tiny wrists and prefer wearing chunky necklaces instead. would you ever consider making one of these as a statement necklace?

Raven! Hey!!

I've seen photos of you, you do have a tiny wrist! But then, so do I! My wrist is only about 5 inches all around. I could adjust the bracelet for you if you like :)

I haven't really thought of making necklaces, but I could try sometime this week. What color schemes you would prefer?

heyy! :D haha I think my wrist is like...4.8 inches or something. we've both got tiny ones!

hmm, colours. it's totally up to you of course, but my suggestions would be:

- olivey (this one is stunning )
- dark blues/greens/hint-of-black (this)
- gold/brass/rustic-y with a hint of blue/green (like these tones)
- peacock/sea inspired array of rich blues & greens
- dark greys/purples

i suppose, in general, i'd prefer darker, rich tones. i trust your judgment entirely, though. :) i reckon you'd do rather well if you sold necklaces as well.
