Friends ...

I was so touched when a parcel arrived for my birthday from my Flickr friend in Germany, Karin Möndjen of Kamoe Clay www.kamoe-clay.blogspot.com, and of course her sweet fur-baby, little Kruemel :)

THANK YOU Karin ! ... it was so sweet of you to remember, and I absolutely love this amazing gift. Your beadwork is so intricate and exquisite, and I love, LOVE the colours as this will match most of my clothes. Its not petite, but a really nice size, without looking glaring.

Haha you knew that this is my favourite photo of Kruemel on the beach; I'm going to put in a little frame next to Tania's photos ... heh heh ... her first long-distance BF.

See below, I am going to wear it this weekend for a wedding .. it matches perfectly with the Peranakan Kebaya I have chosen (an inherited piece of course).

Venetia

I can't believe that this time last year, I was on holiday in Italy with my husband, enjoying the cool weather and Autumn colours in all their glory ... How I wish we were back there right now.
VENETIA here, starts off with beautifully detailed 14K Gold-filled Maple Leaves, followed by a glorious drape of gemmies, in Autumn-y shades of mostly Natural Jade, Red Aventurine, faceted Hessonite and Carnelian. For the finishing touch, this Autumn "fall" ends with a beautifully faceted clear Beryl briolette in mossy green, which looks lovely when it catches the light.
Ear-hooks, Chains are 14K Goldfilled, and each bead has been individually hand wrapped with handmade Gold Vermeil pins.
Maple leaves - approx. 9x9 mm
With the ear-hooks, these danglies fall at approx. 4 cm excluding the chain


(Sold - One of a Kind, No Repeats)

DIAN - $36 - Sold

Though petite, these earrings would spark up your look with their intricate handmade design. Artisan-made balinese beads are 1 cm in dia. & height, and would sit just below your ear-lobes like subtle shiney silver drops. Teeny daisy spacers at both ends, ear-hooks and accents are all handmade 925 silver.
