Jewelry collage . Coral

Here is my jewelry collage for the colors "Peach" and "Coral".

~

The jewelry pieces are now available in my shop.

Happiness Apple

I bought this apple from a Chinese supermarket in Toronto called "Hong Tai".

I have no idea how they created the Chinese word effect on the fruit?

Maybe with a sticker and exposure to sunlight? Do have any ideas?

I am not a big fan of apples, but this one was extremely delicious it changed my

mind about apples! I asked my husband Suma to ask his Chinese colleagues about

the word on the apple and they said it means "Happiness"! So sweet!

Ring holder

This is how I organize my rings using an over sized

pincushion and some vintage decorative pins.

~

This pretty peach pincushion is handmade by my talented friend Ginny.

She is a ceramic artist and makes adorable fruit pincushions too.

You can visit her pretty shop here.

The cute piggy pins are from an Etsy vintage shop called "EverySkimo"

which is always filled with eye-candy.

Hope you have a lovely day dear friends ♥

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

Jewelry collage . Yellow

Since I divided my new jewelry into color categories, I felt like presenting them

in a creative way, like a combination of my doodles/papercuts and the jewelry

pieces. And I LOVE it! Can't wait to make the next color setting!

These days I'm in love with the color yellow!

It makes me dream of sunny days, lemonade, sweet mangoes, ...oh boy I miss summer again!

You can find all of these pieces in my Etsy shop.

New babies in my garden

A few new succulents are added to my windowsill garden.

Today is very cold in Toronto (Now it's -15°C)

Can you see the frost on the window?

This one looks so pretty from the top :)

And I love the gorgeous color of this one very much!

Lemon blossoms

I was working on some blossom branches, I use them for my jewelry photos.

This one is for lemon blossoms.

For making them I've used:

Polymer clay, Swarovski rhinestones, green paper and a natural branch.

I am working on some yellow jewelry right now, will show them to you soon.

Enjoy your weekend! xo
