some new accessories...
I'm rather stingy when it comes to my endeavour in accessories-making cos I'm unwilling to spend on a variety of materials. So basically what I make is using what I have...
Take for example, this necklace below.
I bought the clay flowers a while ago thinking that there were holes drilled into them so that I can make them into earrings with nice crystal drops dangling below. Little did I expect that they were completely 'flawless', so I couldn't make those earrings I wanted.
So happened that I had a piece of plastic that I shunk previously but was useless to me at the time. While packing my stuff, I also found a cute clay pendent of an elf lying in my cupboard since my Uni days. So, I took the plastic piece and glued the elf and the flowers to it to turn it into a necklace.
The pink crystals are all over cos I have so many of them that I don't know what to do with them... :P
As for the clear plastic rose dangling at the bottom? I got that from another piece of accessory which I don't use anymore.
So there you go, an accessory with mainly recycled/reused stuff. Even the chain was taken from a necklace which I don't use anymore.
This pendent below was actually not entirely made by me. It was given as a gift to me by my 'da jie' but I've not worn it as somehow I thought it didn't look complete (though I have worn the matching earrings many times!)
Anyway, what I did with this one was, again, glue a clay flower and wired a pink crystal just to add some dimension to the pendent.
And as for this last one...
I know it looks really unneccessary but just for the sake of personalization lar....

The necklace looks unique! And the pendant too! I want! I want!
Wow! Thanks Funn! That's a real compliment :P
Unfortunately the necklace was meant for a friend, while I'm sure my da jie would kill me if she knew I gave away that pendant... :P
