bracelet redo

Another my "redo project". I have a beautiful bracelet from China, these are the real shells on real wood. But wearing this bracelet was quite a trouble. It's too big to wear in beneath outer clothing. During working on my PC at an office it clattered upon the type board. So I had a rare occasions to wear this bracelet. Finally I decided to make a necklace of it, at least necklaces are my favorite accessories and I wear them often. And as you can see I put those "beads" on a string connected to a chain, also added some metal beads. I think at was simple and fast way to redo my bracelet. 

summer necklace

Recently I had a sudden inspiration. I realized how many beads I have but never use them, how many old necklaces and bracelets I'm not going to wear again. And that's was a lot to up cycle. So today I show you the first example – my new summer necklace made of old bracelet and some random beads left from other projects or occasionally bought on sale.

Another photo of necklace parts that I going to compose soon.

felt necklaces

These are my felt necklaces. Really love the texture and colors. I think felting gives a lot of shape and color opportunities for jewelry. Dreaming to make more felt projects soon.

Crochet necklace

Another crochet necklace. A bit different from previous ones. 100% cotton as usual, fake pearls and metallic and wooden beads.

beads and flowers

Three weeks of my previous summer I spent in a village. During that wonderful time I finished some felt and crochet beads.

 

Еще бусины

А вот если их еще разложить о цветам...

Бусины

Вот наваляла прекрасных бусин для будущих бус. Жду когда же появится время для воплощения всех идей

а вот тоже первый опыт валяния, но эти бусики создавались вторыми

вот мой первый опыт валяния, тут я попробовала все и вышивку, и бисер и "навалянные" пятнышки
