un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez


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....

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
