New cane

I've run out of pretty canes, but I still have plenty ugly ones :))) I don't know what to do with them yet, so I sat down yesterday and made some new canes.
I came up with this 3D design:

It is so nice to receive presents! :)))

I was a second winner in a giveaway held by Lorelei, and I didn't know what I was going to receive (everything made by Lorelei is a treasure!) :)) The package came so fast! I received this wonderful magazine with plenty ideas (Lorelei's work has also been published in it) and I received AMAZING earrings!!! Look how beautiful they are! Wonderful, stylish, light, antiqued, with lampwork beads!

Check out Lorelei's Etsy shop for more of her creations!

I also want to show you wonderful beads made by Sue of SueBeads. They are so gorgeous! The whole sandy beach in one bead :)
I find the actual assembling beads into jewellery, so I have just made simple earrings with these beads. They are temporary, I want to make nicer jewellery with these beads, giving them the look they deserve. I would be grateful for some ideas! :)))

Here is Sue's Etsy shop!

Faux cloisonne butterfly pendant

In a past few months I have bought myself a large number of tutorials both on polymer clay and wire wrapping, but until now I didn't use any of them. I think I just love browsing the photos of the tutorials, which gives me enough satisfaction :)))
Yesterday I decided to try out one of the tutorials I've bought from Eugena Topina.
I love her stylish works, and I love her well-written tutorials. I've made myself a butterlfy pendant following this tutorial.

I'm very happy with a wire outline of a butterfly in this pendant, but not so happy with a resin layer. It's been a first time I used resin, and I think I've got mixed up with the ratio of components. I will make it better next time, just need some practice :)

Strawberry jewellery

Little stamped strawberry beads:

In reality these are very lovely beads, looking very juicy and nice to touch. :))

Caleidoscope canes

This is a butterfly wing cane I've made and I was very happy with :)) But the actual butterfly cane didn't come out too well, I think I've made a butterfly body too big. I've decided to turn an unlucky butterfly cane into caleidoscope canes. And I love the results! :))
