packaging

I mentioned in the September post that I was working on a makeover for my local blog/ website.
Here's the packaging page, posting it here since this applies to my etsy store as well.

And here's a the photoshoot session for the gift boxes.

 

soft shades // work for today

Tackling on sweet, soft, pastel shades today :)
Remaking 3 pieces of Soft & a ring design requested by my dear friend.
She reserved that swan cabochon as soon as I unpacked my new supplies that came when we had a lunch meet-up at my home.

I didn't order too many of the pretty swans, planning to turn the rest into matinee length necklaces sometime soon!

swarovski!

Went on a shopping spree last weekend and did a restock of my already depleted lot of Swarovki crystals.

Here's one of the trays with 8mm bicones, I'm liking the colour combo here (arranged by the shop assistant), probably will make a piece with these!

I don't use Swarovskis very often in my pieces, but now that I have a larger stock on hand, you will see little crystal butterflies & more, very soon ;)

September has been busy, especially ongoing works of revamping my local website has taken up a large chunk of time, couldn't bead as much as I would have liked!

Glad that the site is almost ready, just bits & pieces, here & there left to tweak. Finally this HTML jargon battle is almost won :)) cracking codes & interpreting funny symbols aren't my idea of fun, but there is this sense of satisfaction when all turns out well upon clicking 'preview'.
Ahh.... relieve all over! ;)

Anyway, busy times will continue this month too, I have a bracelet series planned (may not list on etsy) & lots more ideas to work on. At least once the site makeover is completed, I get to do things in my usual, relaxing way, blissful times to be appreciated :)

cubes // work for today

too cute wood cubes =)

Just when I thought I have used up all my dark purple beads, I found these hidden in my bead box, things are always forgotten all the time here!

Used them in a new bracelet that features a rocking horse too :)

the rain played a part // work for today

completed: MIST

Rainy days churn out refreshing colours like this...

For a person who is very much inclined to pink & purple, I should be wishing for more of these times ;)

and it helps to wash away the stinky haze as well!

mail

It's almost 2 months since moving into my new home, and  f.i.n.a.l.l.y  I'm getting used to writing down my new address in the courier form.
Filling up forms absentmindedly meant reverting to the old address, it's like auto-pilot ;)
Though at the moment I still have to remind myself each time, at least I'm getting better.....

Anyway, the post office clerk gave me another huge stack of forms today.
The good thing about posting during peak periods is that they generously shove so many pieces to me.

Small things like this make me happy, must be that weird geeky greed in me! ;)
