Black and White - Treasury on Etsy by MOI

Check out that necklace in the top left corner. Lorelei blogged about it today. I love it. Then check the buttons right next to it. I bought them last weekend. They have been in my favourites folder for about 6 months now. Finally I got around purchasing them. Check all the other really nice things I have found inspired by those two items.

Here's the link to my treasury on Etsy.

Stuck, String and Treasury

Please help me, if you can! I am stuck on this one. As so often before I get stuck on a detail in the production/manufacturing of a piece. I hate when it happens and it is actually one of the main reasons why I gave myself this One-a-Day-Challenge. I wish to come over this barrier so that I get some tempo in my production. I have soooooooo many unfinished pieces laying around. This one I am very pleased with design-wise. I really like the cubes in peyote and the colours, and that button just lift the whole piece. The thing is that I want that button to work as a clasp, and after pondering about it for a few days I decided that the way of making it work would be this way that you can see in the picture (gosh what an awful sentance). But it doesn't work, coz there's a big gap. I will have to redo it. But how? Should it be some metal hook construction hidden under the button? Should it be magnets? Or what? Please please I need some experienced advice from you!

One-a-Day-Challenge No 3 is a simple strung bracelet with dark coloured rustic trade beads in glass, a few small trade beads in white and some buttons. All strung on double black waxed linen cord with knots in between. The bracelet is worn two laps around the wrist. Casual and very easy to wear, I've been wearing it ever since I made it a few days ago, also together with other bracelets.

And finally - another treasury on Etsy by me. I wanted to name it "The feeling of sitting on a fallen pine tree log on a cliff by the open sea on a sunny, warm but windy day". But it was a too long name, so I had to shorten it. All the picks are favourites of mine already, either the actual pice or the seller. I do wanna own all the things in this treasury.

They Were All Yellow

Treasury on Etsy ... wonder what that is really? Oh, I can make my own one! Excellent! Fun! I can pick from my already favourites then. Oh, there are quite a few yellow ones. So now it seems I got stuck with making a treasury instead of posting about my latest jewellery. I guess you will have to endure with me until tomorrow night. Hope you will enjoy "They Were All Yellow" in the meantime. But please don't buy that hat. Coz I looooove it. Unless you will give it to me as a present on my birthday on the 30th of june of course ... ;-)
