 Pink Makeup

Bracelet & Earrings Set

Whenever I see the touch of pink, I remember the shades of pink of the makeup I wear.  I really love the color of pink makeup.

 My Love for Tea Outside

This bracelet symbolizes my love for tea.  The heart symbolizes "love", teapot symbolizes tea, butterfly symbolizes nature.  All the things I love in different shades of my favorite color.

 Lucky Green

Green symbolizes a lot of things: wealth, nature, healing.  Jade is perfect for good luck companion in your everyday activities

White Grape Cocktail Drink

Bracelet & Earrings Set

Whenever I want to celebrate, I always buy Welch's grape cocktail juice, either in red or white grape, it's the perfect companion for any celebration!

Elephant and balloon

Handmade offers lots of advantages, every handmade product has a story behind it, or a special meaning behind it. I think that's what makes it really special.  Another advantage is that the person you're giving the handmade product to has the bragging right to say that he/she has one of a kind product and there's a 99% probability that only he/she has that unique product.

One example is this necklace I made for a debutante. I had a hard time thinking of a gift for her, because she almost has everything, and she has an expensive taste, but being a poor resident in training, I have to give something that will fit my budget and at the same time will suit her personality and taste.

I once had classmate who love elephants. She even told me that whenever you receive an elephant, you will have good luck in your love life. In my research, elephants also are a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, strength and power.

I think this necklace would best describe my wish for her, to have a successful love life.

Made from white gold plated necklace, with class A studded charm, imported elephant charm from HK.

Hope she likes it!

Gatsby Headdress

One of challenges living in a dorm is having the avilability of craft materials for your project. Such was my predicament in my last project, Gatsby/1920s inspired headdress. 

I was invited to a gatsby themed debut, in such short notice and busy schedule, and saving money also, I decided tp forego the flapper dress and just use accessory to give the impression of 1920s fashion.

I bought everything I used in this project from SM San Lazaro department store, lucky halloween is near, so I have more things to work on. Oh yeah, plus additional metal settings I previously bought from Quiapo.

Materials I used in this project:

Feather

Ponytail

Glue gun

Pearl head band

Metal chain

Jumprings

Pliers

Metal extensions

Acrylic crystals

I got my feather from masquerade mask. Choose a pony tail with a vintage feel.

1. Remove the elastic part of the ponytail and attach metal extensions.

2. With your acrylic crystals, string some and attach them also. You could use jump rings and attach them to the extensions.

This is what it will look like

3. Dettach the feathers from the mask, and glue them to the back with glue gun.

4. Glue the pearl headband.

5. Use your large jump rings to attach the chains to the pearl headband.

And you're done!

Stamped image in polymer clay

I found these stamps from Quiapo too cute that I bought it, even without having any idea what to do with it.

I'm not in the mood for making a card, so I decided to use the stamp in polymer clay instead, which I haven't tried before.

I'm really happy with the results!

Can't think of a name yet for this bracelet 

Blue Princess

Disney has played a big part in every little girl's life. Every girl once in the point of their life wished to be a princess someday. I'm no exception to that. Here, inspired by Disney's Pinocchio's blue fairy, I present: Blue Princess.

Made with white gold plated bracelet and Austrian swarovski charms. 

Bring out the inner princess in you!

Druzy

Druzy is a coating of fine crystals over a rock surface or fragment. I saw these amazing rock crystals being sold in Quiapo and I couldn't get it out of my head.  They look so elegant that I've got to have one.

Aren't they amazing?!

Pink Run

Every year, the PCS organizes the Pink Run, a fundraising activity for Breast Cancer. This is one event where you'll see lots of surgeons running for a cause.

Of course junior interns take part also of the event.

Inspired by the event, I've made 2 bracelets.

It's been long time since I made jewelry. I really missed it.

Mom's Jade Necklace

Today, for no apparent reason, I made a jade necklace for my mom, maybe I just wanted to thank her for taking care of me.

Ipod shuffle watch strap

I'm naming this project as: Music in your soul.  Remember the earlier bijou strap I made for my ipod shuffle?

I've used it for trial for I think less than 1 month, so in my next design of my bijou strap, I added a new feature, an earphone winder.  That way, you can safely atore your earphones when not in use & still wear your ipod shuffle with great pride w/o worrying where to put your earphones.

This is my new design:

With incredibly great features:

I'm so excited to make another one.  I think I'm getting addicted to felt crafts again!

Secret cupcakes by fairies

This collection's inspiration is one of my favorite Disney movie films.  The Tinkerbell series!  Superb movie! Not too childish with outstanding cg effects.

 Each cupcake is purely made out of tender, loving care.  With Swarovski rhinestones from Austria & swarovski crystals.  Cupcake woolcandies are unique personally handmade by me, carefully made into a necklace.  Visit Maiden Circuits for more details.

Twin Bows

I just saw these bows & I fell in love with them.  So I combined them w/ head turbans for babies

I'm giving these away as gifts to Yuna & Rian! 2 of the cutest babies I know!

I always enjoyed shopping stuffs for babies.  I don't know why hahahaha. Pero nakakatuwa siya promise. Especially if yo're imagining how the babies would look like wearing it.

Captain America Needle-felt Pendant Tutorial

I'm trying again another tutorial. Pardon me for the quality of pictures, I just used my phone in taking pictures while I was doing the project.

Here's the necklace we're doing today

Materials you'll need:

• felting needles
• sponge
• red, blue, white wool roving
• silver filigree
• jump rings
• ball chain necklace
• E6000 glue
• Blue feathers
• Star-shaped crystal

Step 1 - get some red wool roving & stab w/ your felting needle until you get a flat circle.

Step 2 - get some white wool roving & roll it between your palms to make it more elongated.  You could twist it to make it more "linear".

Step 3 - stab the white roving into your red circle.

Step 4 - Get some blue roving & stab it onto the center.

Step 5 - After stabbing some time, you'll end up with this.

Step 6 - Get a star shaped swarovski crystal & glue it to the center using E6000. Now you have Captain America Woolcandie.

Step 7 - Get the silver round filigree or round silver setting & glue the captain america woolcandie into it.  Step 8 - Attach 2 jumprings, at 12 o'clock & 6 o'clock position of the filigree. 

Step 9 - attach the 2 feathers at the jumpring at the 6 o'clock position & ball chain at 12 o'clock position.

Here's you're end product!

'til next tutorial! =D

Hands itching for creativity

I just went to quiapo hehe, with Cielo. As usual I got broke I think I spent a lot again.  Maybe I should control myself more hahaha.

I personally like this one, it's simple but very cute!

This is for Dra Tan-Sales hehe.  Hope you like it!

Swarovski addict

Vintage may be the trend nowadays, but I still can't resist the fact that I really love swarovski crystals!!!  They may be out of trend but nothing beats its classic look & elegance.  Here's just a few of my swarovski works:

I come to notice, I have lots of green!!! It's not because it's my favorite color, it's because I just have lots of stock here hehe.
