Earrings – “Angel in the sky”
Earrings made with blue shell heart and star, a pair of silver wing charms and glossy pearls. At the moment, my earrings are nothing too complicated, I just put components together. One day I'd like to extend my wire-wrapping so that I can wrap small stones and make earrngs from them. The components seem to …
Bright button charm bracelet
Yes, another button jewellery item! This time, since the selection of buttons was bright and colourful, I thought that the best way to show them off was on a charm bracelet. They certainly are quite eye-catching, even if your arm is down to your side. And they make a wonderful rattling noise since I put …

Moonstone – “Protective aura”
A heart-shaped stone of unknown origins. I asked the lady at the gemstone stall about it. She thinks it would be either moonstone or milky quartz. Since it gives off the same shine as my moonstone tree of life, I'll say it's moonstone too. The name is inspired by the fact that it is a …
Jar of 500 cranes
I find it somewhat therapeutic to fold origami cranes. It also gives you something to do when you have nothing else to do, or you're stuck and deliberating over a problem like I am. If you cut your own paper like me however, it will take you a lot longer. I'd say on and off …
2nd anniversary card
Hello all! I've recently come back from spending my 2nd anniversary with my boyfriend. For the occasion, I made him a personalised card; nothing too complicated, I just put together some pretty papers with a theme in mind. Want to make it yourself?
