Lovely day earrings

Friday 30 July 2010



Lovely day is when copper meets enamel in white, lime and pale blue. Tiny glass seed beads are there for fun and sterling silver makes the day perfect. Listing tonight.

The little gathering below is for size comparison, in case size matters :)



Happy weekend!

Thank you Esther and Estella!



My Free as a bird brooch has been featured on Etsy front page together with other beauties in this gorgeous treasury by staroftheeast. Yay! Thank you!

Here's something to covet from star's shop :)

P.S. What are your favourite polka dots?

Yesterday was a little cooler and the sun was hiding behind the clouds, so I grabbed the chance to play with fire again. Slightly domed copper discs, intense colours, shiny glass enamel, smooth sterling silver earwires. Listing tonight.

Monday moodboard - time

Monday 26 July 2010



I was pondering a lot about the time this weekend while meeting some people I usually see once a year and visiting my grandparents grave. It's a summer tradition here in Latvia to meet in cemeteries and commemorate our relatives and ancestors followed by a small feast or celebration. A little nostalgic, but mostly cheerful event.

Days have a slow and relaxed pace this week. It's too hot for enameling, but it doesn't keep me away from preparing copper blanks.

More enamel

Friday 2 July 2010



The new collection is rolling out in full speed. Caramel necklace is already listed in my shop. I was pondering about the name for it and remembered about caramel candies. The process of making them (all the sugar and heating thing) is kind of similar to the wonders heat does to glass powder as well. Yummy!



Lovely day necklace was born while I was trying out something new. Had an idea and just had to see how it turns out. This was also the first time I used that pale blue enamel. The seed beads are really tiny and the overall impression is very delicate. Listing this evening.

Enjoy the weekend!

These enameled nicies need earwires. Handmade sterling silver earwires - that's the task for today. By the way I've discovered that metal cupcake forms are great for organising small items while creating - one cupcake for blanks, one for finished pieces and one for messed up stuff.
