Merry-go-round collaboration project!

For the last friday of the month and last day of the year, we decided on a collaboration project for our Merry-Go-Round posts. Each of us received some supplies from another merry member and the challenge was to create a collaboration piece.

Kim of Viltalakim, asked me which colours I preferred and sent me the most DELICIOUS supplies made out of felt! I receive little acorns with their natural hats, 2 of them still on their little branches!! – felted ‘cords’ which will be perfect for bracelets and necklaces, and the most incredible piece of felt I have ever held in my hands. First the colours are my favourite combo: green and pink, I just love it! Furthermore, the felt piece had FOLDS!!!!They add texture and movement without me doing anything to it… Just fabulous!



Straight away I knew I wanted to make a cuff adding lace and wired pieces.



Working with Kim’s felt was pure pleasure, the felt is thick and soft, I hardly have any visible stitches on the back of the cuff, so no need to hide anything and it becomes a real wrist warmer, it’s sooooooo lovely and soft!!!




My wired pieces consist of a leaf with silver plated wire and semi-precious stones and a dragonfly made out of copper wire with topaze, rock crystal chips and crystals. I added embellishments of fabric and lace flowers, and a few beads, ribbon and lace that I found in my local market.
This one is MINE!!! I absolutely ADORE it!!! THANK YOU KIM!!!!

Such a nice way to finish the year, I enjoyed all our merry posts throughout 2010 and I look forward to 2011!!!
Have a look at what everyone else made!!

Spring/Printemps

To celebrate the return of the sun (well, almost...) after a really long winter full of thunderstorms and icy winds, here are 2 charm necklaces with soft colours, bringing out my little skippy step, announcing warmth coming back to this side of the world...Long necklaces, 68 and 75 cm.

Pour célébrer le retour (ou presque) du soleil apres un hiver vraiment trop long, plein d'orages et de vents glacés, voici deux colliers breloques qui me font sautiller de par leurs couleurs, et qui annonce le retour de la chaleur dans ma partie du monde...Colliers longs 68 et 75 cm

Sexy Turquoise

A drop-shaped turquoise in a sexy teal corset... Took me an entire day to work out how to do it, and this is my very first attempt, and I hopefully will get better with the gorgeous raspberry jasper I've got lined up for my second.

Une turquoise en forme de goutte, dans un corset sexy aux tons verts-bleus. Il m'a fallu une journée entière pour réussir à fabriquer ce collier. C'est mon premier essai, et j'espère que je vais m'améliorer avec la fabulouse goutte de jaspis framboise que j'ai choisie pour la deuxième de cette série.

Violet est la couleur de la Magie et des Mystères, de la paix de l’esprit et de l’inspiration.
