Jewelry boxes made of birch bark
Thursday, May 14, 2015
These are the last jewelry boxes that are mine that I want to show in this blog. They are very Russian :) I do not know if there is a similar folk art in any other country... but you certainly can get a large variety of items made and decorated with birch bark in Russia. They are often finely pierced.... and I love pierced pretty much anything :) So, I love my boxes a lot. Originally I got them to give away as gifts, but I could not part with them :)
I have found a couple of DIYs for anybody who is curious about making bark boxes. One is in English, but the boxes do not look like these at all. Here it is.
Another one is in Russian, I've put it through Google-translation for you. There are many pictures that show the process there. The boxes look just like mine (very close to them). This DIY is for somebody who is good with the tools. Here is the link.
I would love to make something like this. Though I probably will never attempt... just because I am very careful with my time and prefer to stick to jewelry making :)
Jewellery masterpieces. Diamond necklace by Piget
Wednesday, May 13, 2015

| Necklace by Piaget. Coco Chanel invented this kind of necklace, which she showed in her first jewelry collection in 1932. It was called the Collier Comete. Jewelers had to figure out how to make a stretchable metal collar. |
An item from my wish list
When my husband gave me a new smartphone, the first thing I did... I went to Etsy and looked through all the cases that I liked. Then I took a few days to really think about it and choose what was speaking to me. I love steampunk, so my choice narrowed done to just three cases. This one had gem stones, so I did not think for too long :)
This case is from theminifab etsy shop. In reality it is a bit darker than the picture, but I like it better this way. In fact, I was only thinking for as long as I did, because it was too gold and too flashy in the picture. I am pleased it is not :)
I have to say a few special words about Ryan, the shop owner. In his policy he guarantees 100% satisfaction and this is absolutely true. He is an awesome seller who will solve any problems for his customers.
If you are wondering what cases I was choosing from, you can see them at my Pinterest board

Giveaway by ValenwoodVixen Etsy shop
I've found this wonderful resin jewelry shop and invited its owner Sarah Hart to be my guest here and tell about her shop and what she makes.
This is what she is saying about her work:
I create resin jewelry with a focus on Natural Beauty. Most of my jewelry at ValenwoodVixen features pressed flowers and leaves, though some of my pieces are crafted with gemstones and crystals. I craft all of my items by hand, from beginning to end. I also create custom memorial pieces using hair and fur to help others heal after the passing of a loved one or pet. All of my pieces are made with lots of love and creativity, and I love what I do.
This is just a few samples from Valenwood Vixen Etsy shop:
This lovely Real Moss Necklace is being given away as the prize:
Giveaway is open Worldwide
Ends: June/1/2015
