slowly but surely, I am getting back to at least make something everyday....
Simple earrings, yet this is definitely one of the my favorite color combo of gems! Brazilian Amethyst with Sleeping Beauty Turquoise with vermeil and GF findings.... ah...

It really has been awhile since I've last updated my blog.... so many things has happened in the past few months plus I think I am still depressed with my father's passing..... it's almost scary how time flies sometimes.....
I've been trying to keep up with making at least one new thing per day, and so far that seems to be working out well.... big or small, I am making them... :) May not be posting them here but I will for sure share those that I think are notable still....
Here's my newest one, I named this Aquatic Bloom.
Aquatic Bloom Necklace by *CrysallisCreations on deviantART
This piece started with a vision of blooming coral within the deep blue sea.... or even some exotic flowers that can be found at Rain Forest, blooming near the water....Calm, nothing intruding, yet with so much textures of nature all around.....
Not one of the most complicated piece that I've made, yet this one took a lot of time and thoughts and planning.
Borosilicate lampwork made by Kristan Child of Redside Designs, huge Moss Aqua brio topped with Pyrite, Apatite, Kyanite, Keishi pearls, Rainbow Moonstone. I've accented with small faceted Blue Green Sapphire rondelles through out since it goes real well with the rest, random Lemon Quartz in assortment of sizes/shape as well as a few Chrysoprase faceted rondelles for accent.
All wired with oxydized Sterling Silver, closed with a handmade wirewrapped hook clasp.
And here are a few shots of details of the same piece.

I've also been trying to catch up with some custom orders, long overdue... sigh... will for sure share anything significant if there's any!!!
'til next time!! :)
XOXO

Frost..... by *CrysallisCreations on deviantART
I am happy!! Really I am... it's been a while since I last finished anything.... sigh.. I wish that I'll be able to carry this on and on but.... with all the pounding and small remodeling that hubby is planning, doesn't looks like that's gonna happen anytime soon.... sigh...
But the positive thing is... we might have a bigger dining room soon!! YAY!!!! And a way spacious entrance, I think that would be lovely... now if only I can get hubby to get some nice marble for the front door eh? heh.... :P
for those of you that care to read.... I am also having a sale with my gemstone beads... I don't do this often, at most twice a year, and only for stocks on hand, so if you're interested in anything better grab them quick!!! Not sure what I'll end up from the March show that's coming up, but yeah.... still need some space you know....
Link to my online album: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/DJD_Deb/Gemstone/
Don't forget to check those folders on the left column, a lot more hidden in there...
Anyway, hope you're doing well!! Keep your fingers crossed for me that I'll be able to make a few more new things soon eh?
XOXO

a hoard.... I am definitely a hoard...
and no....... but yes you may still call me a bead ho.... HA! hmmm....
so after a long long break away from taking care of my business, both my jewelry and my beads, even though, to be fair, I have been making things though they're just not listed in my Etsy shop since a local gallery want them!! so there... yup yup!!! :P
So... went to a few suppliers in the past week, who knows when I'll finish using them, or even just one of them from each set, but ah.... who the hack cares right??? HA! sigh....
Where to start..... hmm.... oooooo
OK..... seriously, these were probably not the best deal that I've ever gotten, but I don't care... as long as I can fondle this sucker I'll be all good really..... ah.... This is a whopping 51+ carat, measures at 30mm+.....
Oregon Sunstone!!!! And I was so happy to lay my hands on some of these top quality ones! There's nothing faint about these colors, hint of green, with cat's eye effect through.....
HUGE intense color Lemon Quartz!! bwaahahhahahahaahah also got a few in pear shape... teehee....
ah..... just a lovely lovely Prasiolite...... heh... :P
AAA multi color Sapphire briolette........
I think that's enough flaunting for now...... I will have a sweet dream tonight without thinking about my wallet....
'til soon!!! :D
