Turquoise Blue I Love U

 

       

It was a rainy, cold and grey Sunday yesterday. 

"Where's the Summer?", I thought as I watched 

the rain beating against the window. 

I needed to make this collage to remind me 

it is indeed Summer in the Netherlands. 

This colour always brightens the world in a nano-sec. 

PS.These are all SYLK©-made pieces.

Findings: earring backs

Hardly visible, but essential: earring backs.

I need plastic earring backs for the French hooks I use. When earrings are a bit heavier they tend to fall out. Some people are kneeling on the floor to find their contact lenses and others are looking for their earrings... ;-) 

I also need these for the 925 Silver earring studs I have, because the 'butterfly' backs don't function well.

I found 2 kinds of plastic backs I like:

- smaller ones (bullet, flower, squares) 

- and broader ones (clutches with silver or gold plated centers).

Here's an informative article about earrings & backs.

My first Dawanda customer

Today a customer knocked on my Dawanda -shop door 
and purchased this Cobra/snake pendant. 
She is my very first Dawanda-customer, 
so I decided to celebrate this kick-off by making a piece for her.     
        Something summery, but also something that she would like. This was very challenging as I don’t know her at all IRL. 
But what I did know was that she likes black, leather & snake,  
 =casual/ fun/ no-nonsense.
And 925 Sterling Silver for style & durability. 
Her enthusiastic reply on my order-confirmation had a light & ‘sparkly’ tone, which would be ‘summery’ in my translation.

I love Turquoise for the summer, 
it has the colour of the infinite Sky & Ocean.

White Pearl for elegance & purity and Black Pearl adds mystery to it. 
A little green Turquoise chip to finish the charm.

All these free shaped semiprecious stones give the charm some attitude.

I hope she’ll like it.

Thanks M'inda and have a great summer!

Tschüss!
