A Spring on My Coffée Table: My Succulent Terrarium

Two times it have been that my jewelries were on Etsy front page. The last one was yesterday afternoon.  Talking about a good chance! I feel weird that suddenly the statistic balooned up more than ten times of regular visitors. That's probably how it feels to win a lottery. I don't mind the adrenaline at all :)

But it's not what I wanted to talk about today. You can't just talk about jewelry all the time, well you can actually. Anyhow.

I wanna talk about my two adopted succulent plants.  It's been more than a month that these two little succulents sleep in their too little plastic pots,

I know what I want to do with them but I don't deny that the power of procrastination had invaded me stronger than my will.  Everyday I glanced at them and I said to myself, curse you, do something for them, you don't adopt them just so you can torture them.

So last week I said to myself, That's enough! it is about time to liberate them from their camp and move into their real home.

And there you go! Can you see them in the crowd? D bought the glass jar from habitat long time ago before those little buddy existed. It was actually a cookie jar with a cute wooden lid, but I see a terarrium aquarium once I laid my eyes on this gorgeous container. Wanna take a tour? 

First, the furry fella looks happier than ever. I have placed her on an elevation slightly off the sunshine. Thus, she look a bit slanted looking for a sun exposure. Yeah show your curve sexy lady! 

The second succulent, tho, had went through an accident that injured a couple of his leaves. Another thing I noticed too is that the leaves has thinned up. It looks more like an adult plant with a less fat petals. So sad. But I am still happy with him especially when I see the little bud grows taller. 

The third species in my glass jar habitat are the plants I picked up on the street. They were almost dead off the ground, I picked up a couple of them and amazingly they are the ones that seems to be the happiest member in the family. 

And finally, our old friend, moss. I can't seems to let them go. This fluorescent green moss one is my favorite. Enjoy your weekend! Take advantage of the sun if you can! <3

Long Necklaces and a Cocktail Ring

It's friday! yaay.. I so wanted to take a photo of my cutesy terrarium (yeah from the time I created my five glorious moss terrarium I've made one more that is five times, ok maybe a bit exaggerating, two times then, bigger than those little ones. Unfortunately I was too busy making jewelry (not a bad excuse either ;) and this weekend, just sharing what I made..

a classic multipendant long necklace that started with 5 colors version. I can't stop imagining about different colors for these babies.. 

A cocktail ring project that stays hanging, I finally made another one. I am not sure how to sell these because I have not master the technique of fixing the ring size just yet. In the mean time just for your eye candy.

Taking advantage of a gorgeous sun this week (spring is here!) I retake some of the photos of my necklaces collection. Thought that having their picture taken with somebody wearing it gives more visibility to those who are interested to buy.. here goes. 

tanned wooden beads with bronze japanese glass beads 

Blonde sandalwood beads with lime green seed glass beads

Love making those chunky layer sandalwood beads, am not a big fan of a complicated style this is why I keep it less bling bling. Next, a couple of foldable pieces. Three so far..

Champagne crystals mix material transparent foldable long necklace

Still got others, I probably will continue the work next week, hopefully along with the new models. Anyway, what do you think about the photos? I am taking the photos without the tripod (I've broke two already and not ready to break the third) next to the window. Bon alors, bon weekend! next post, terrarium yaay <3

Turquoise and Orange

I have been having a crush with these two colors. Together they look radiant and jolly. My silver wires arrived last week, and it is a perfect time to make something gorgeous out of these two colors. The first thing in my mind is to make an indian bollywood style earrings, but it turned out to be a bit simpler than that..

This is how it looks like worn, maybe if my personal photographer had time he'd take better photo of me in this earrings. 

Next I came up with a short necklace, I wouldn't call it a statement necklace for it's not completely huge, but with its color, the necklace tends to look bigger than its real size. Here goes the photo and I let you be the judge. 

Lastly, Chandelier earrings is the piece of jewelry I enjoy making the most, but I can't really say that I like a standard french hook.  So for the matching earrings I created a simple stud earrings and added a super short chain drop to make it more feminine and dangly. 

I promise to share you more of what I made. I have another set, with a slightly different style but the same concept and a subtler color.  I hope to find a time to post it on Les Bijoux de Siany. Enjoy your monday!
