Organic Green

Die grüne Sucht kam mal wieder über mich - lach..... Aber ich schätze, das seid Ihr ja bereits gewohnt von mir. Dieses Mal eingebettet auf organischer Basis.

Und dann kam's über mich: ich legte doch tatsächlich einen rosa Murrini auf das Elfenbein-Perlchen - ohne nachzudenken..... Das gute Stück wurde danach nur noch mit Samthandschuhen angefasst. Als ich merkte, dass das so klappt, war ich mutig und konnte mich nicht halten auch noch mit ein paar zartrosa Pünktchen zu verzieren! ;0)

Green obsession once again, lol ....... But I think, you're used to see that on my blog. This time it's embedded in organic structure.

With an euphoric feeling I also used a pink murrini - without thinking too much.... OMG! Afterwards I handled the bead only with kid gloves. What should I say: it worked !!!  So I also had nerve to use some tiny pink dots on it. ;0)

Have a nice day!

Some more shard beads

Trotz der vielen Kinder im Haus gestern - wir feierten Tennie-Geburtstagsparty - hatte ich ein wenig Zeit übrig, um zu üben. Die Youngsters wollten mich gar nicht mit dabei haben...... wie schaaaaaaade ........;0))

Yesterday, we had a tennies-birthday-party in our house. But  in spite of all that, I had enough time to practicing with shards. Really unfortunate - the youngsters did'nt want I'm with them all the time...... ;0))))

Have a nice Sunday!
xoxo, Michi

Shards....

... habe ich in letzter Zeit sehr gerne gemacht und auch verwendet.
Und nach dem neuen Tutorial von Angela und Meike wird es in nächster Zeit sicherlich noch Einiges davon zu sehen geben. Hier noch ein Versuch VOR dem Tutorial (hier zu finden  http://www.perlaperla.ch/shop/e-book-deutsch/) - also ausbaufähig ... ;0)

I like very much to work with shards lately.
And after I bought the new tut from Angela and Meike, I'm sure there will be many experiments with them in the near future. Here's a try BEFORE I got the new tutorial (at the moment only in German at http://www.perlaperla.ch/shop/e-book-deutsch/) - I think, there's still potential for improvement .... ;0)

Have a nice evening!

A touch of pink in the turquoise

Gestern Nachmittag schwebten meine Gedanken um diese Farbenkombination: Erinnerungen an das türkisblaue, klare Wasser auf Kuba (mein Gott wie die Zeit vergeht, das ist ja schon ewig lange her... ;0)) mit einem Touch karibischer Exotik. Zu Hause angelangt, musste das natürlich auch gleich mal ausprobiert werden. Ja ich glaube, das bekommt den "Gefällt mir Button" von meiner Seite - wie gefällt es Euch?

Yesterday afternoon I dreamed about these bright colours: walow in memories of the clear blue-turquoise Cuban water (OMG - it's so long ago, time flies ..... ;0)) with a touch of Caribbean exotic. So, the first thing I wanted to do at home, was to give it a try. And yes, I think these colours go well together - what do you think?

xoxo, Michi

still in the mood for fish

.... vielleicht liegt es daran, dass meine Tochter
in diesem Sternzeichen geboren wurde?

Fisch am Freitag passt in jedem Fall ;0)

... perhaps it's because of the birthday of my younger one,

born under the sign of a fish?
Anyway, fish on Friday fits perfectly ;0))

Have a nice weekend!

The sunny side of life

Ein Kind erscheint im frohen Kreise

holdes Glück erweckert lauter Jubel

und sein Strahlenblick läßt aller Augen strahlen.  

 (Victor Hugo)

Wer könnte diesen Augen widerstehen, und bei dessen Anblick nicht der glücklichste Mensch auf Erden sein?

Happy Birthday, liebes Schnurzi - Du wohnst in meinem Herzen!

 

Keep it simple

Manchmal - ich gebe zu es kommt sehr selten vor, aber doch manchmal ... ;0) - gelüstet es mich nach einfachen Perlen. so ganz ohne Schnick-Schnack. Ich finde, die haben auch etwas!

Somethimes - ok, not very often, but sometimes .... ;0) - I feel the urge to keep it simple. Without to much ado. I think they have it's charm too, or not?

Green plissee

... Plisssee ist auch 2012 noch angesagt, und ich liebe es diesen look in meinen Glasperlen festzuhalten. Und manchmal gelingt das auch ;0)

....plissee is still a trend in fashion 2012, and I love to capture that look in glass. And sometimes it works ;0)

My cooking for the BSBP, March 2012

Hello my dears,

today's the day - for me the second time to be part of this great exchange: today's Bead Soup Blog Party Day! 384 people signed up for the party, and I was one of the lucky 200, who has been drawn to take part of it.

This time I had the great honour to be paired with Joanne Tinley. Jo is a great jewellery designer, a contributor to the Beads and Beyond magazine and also runs various jewellery workshops. Have you recently seen the poppy headpins and what she've made with them for the poppy challenge? Is'nt that pendant absolutely charming?

For the exchange, Jo first asks me which kind of materials, I'm comfortable with and which ones not. I told her, I've never worked with copper before, and like try to. And - Ta Dah - she really sent me copper. But such a cute piece of copper - have you seen it? Here's once a again a quick shot, of what I've received:from her:

I've got a carved heart of a variscite, some colour fitting smoky quartz beads:, some pale green freshwater pearls and copper beads, a harmonizing piece of olivine silk ribbon and this charming copper owl clasp!

What I did'nt know at that time: it's extremely hard to find wonderful and extraordinary copper components in Austria or Germany! So what to do? Wire wrapping seems to be the only solution....

So would you like to join the steps to create my

"Love, Peace and Happiness" - jewellery set ?

1st: looking for some matching glass rods.....

2nd: blowing some contrast shards for decorating.....

3rd: do a little wire wrapping.....

4th: looking for some alternative materials.....

found on the way through the blogs, here on Connys blog

5th: realize a little "happy"-flower with harmonizing wool

6th: join the delicate silk ribbon with some leather

7th: once again - do a little wire wrapping .... ;0)

8th: once again - do a little wire wrapping....... ;0)))............ no wrapping photo......;0)

9th: having no liver of sulfur at home - so doing oxidation in an alternative way. (with hard boiled eggs)...... but

10th: ... but ... forget to keep it on a save place .... ;0)))

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND ANYWAY...................here it is:                       

My "Love, Peace and Happiness" - jewellery set:

Love:

 

Peace:

 and Happiness:

 

The whole necklace:

...matching earrings...:
