Made-to-Order

These are some earrings I made for my dear friend.  I am happy she believed me to give me the freedom of design.  She was also kind enough to say that they were all good:).

This pair is a turquoise blue (actually :)) earring with filigree work on it with crystal beads and polymer clay beads to enhance it.  This is done for a grand kalamkari material of the same color combination.

This is my best one.  I liked it so much.  A gold back ground with brick red tree like design with garnet beads to embellish it.  

This is a lemon yellow small stud with a dangle of semiprecious yellow bead called citrine.  This was made for her dress which is lemon yellow chiffon with self colored chikenkari work on it.

These are a pair of red and black earring with gold frame. this made for a red dress with black embroidery on it.

These are a geometrical tri-colored pair accentuated with lo-real beads and semiprecious aventurine.  The bead looked so dull otherwise, i was hesitant to add it to the piece.  I wrapped the bead with gold plated wire and made a dangle with the lo-real beads and it looked really good. the photo does not do justice though ( 'cause I am the photographer :)).

A pair of earring I tried to replicate a Indian tribal art for a silk dress. the earring is around 4.5 cms long.  the beads are polymer clay and glass.

I have two more orders at hand.  I will update as soon I finish. :)

Fantasy flower

This is a flower I made to make a necklace for my little niece for her Christmas party where she wore a red dress(red and white was the theme).  This looks like poppy flower but not exactly that is why the name fantasy flower.  The white is part of truculent and white clay cane.  Later, I found here a beautiful tutorial by Olga on Youtube.  This version is really beautiful.

A little sunflower stud

A small earring to go with the sunflower necklace.  I forgot to post this earlier.

Sun + Flower = Sunflower

A necklace born out of a sight of sunflower in a vase with a ray of sunlight trickling in through an open window.  Hence sun + flower and sunflower :).  madness....

I like to write the story of every piece I make to add interest.  I myself can read it later and smile.  Smile:)

Making of the lotus pond.

This popped up in my mind when I was thinking of making something totally different than usual.  In fact, I was thinking of sky blue back ground with pink lotus and green leaves(it would have looked all very dramatic :) ). But when I sat down to work on it.  It turned out to be totally different.  But I like the result very much.  This always happens to me when I sit down with clay.  I will have something else in the mind when I start and end up with nothing or something amazing.  I learn new thing about it daily. Life is like that, you learn new things daily.

Once the pendent was ready I had to think of the beads to go with it.  It took some time for me to make the right beads for the pendent.

Those are called bi cone beads.  I found making it manually was much fun than the bead-maker.  Here goes the pictures.

I thought the pendent will not attract attention with these beads, so I had to think of something else to go immediately after the pendent.  I made 2 folded beads with antique gold.  I think they look gorgeous.

Inspiration - Peacock

Everyone gets inspired by this grand bird - paintings, motifs on saris, jewelry,  and even on aircraft.  This is what I made from the inspiration drawn from the beauty of the peacock.

I have made a cushion cover with silk and  have painted peacock feather motifs on it.  you can check it out here. This piece was sold out even before i took a proper photo of the necklace, i am feeling bad about it.
