I'm also quite proud of the collection name, it's "Le Cimetière au Printemps", the cemetary at springtime. I wanted to use candylike pastel colours and silver, to give the jewellery a unified look. So there's baby pink, light blue, even a dash of orange here and there to give the feeling of little flowers awakening in the spring.

| Baby pink fleur-de-lis earrings. I just love these cabochons and I think the settings are one of the prettiest I've seen. I used deer horns as a prop to have something from the nature and still reminding of death to set the mood. |
 |
| Pink lucite cross earrings. I think these look just like candy! I love the kitschy look of the crosses, they are gothic at the same time with the ornamental design. |
 |
| Cascading Drops earrings. I had a bag of different plastic tear-drop beads and selected a few sets of colours that went well together to create these type of earrings. Some of the beads have an iridescent finish, others are just transparent bright colours. |
 |
| Ripe Berries earrings. These are wonderfully small and delicate, and I really like the finish on the beads. They are cloudy, not transparent, but still let some light through. |
 |
| Purple Sprinkles necklace. This one was made with nail polish and some glitter, I think the turquoise and lavender shades really go well together! And the hanging bead was such a good match, too. |
 |
| Purple cross necklace. This picture was just so nice I wanted to share it! It shows perfectly how the lucite cross changes colour according to the background. On dark backgrounds, it is a deep purple, but on light it goes lavender. |
 |
| Purple Glitter Bat Bow Hair Clip. This one is my favourite! I found a few sheets of glitter foam and decided to make hair clips, since I'm totally into purple, glittery things ;P It's shaped like a bat, but still feminine and delicate enough to pass for a bow when needed. And because everything purple and glittery needs an over-the-top name, it's called "Wings of the Night"! |
The pieces of jewellery are cute and pretty, but the photos are amazing! I really like your creative backdrops. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! The backdrops consist of a window sill (stone, so it would be reminiscent of the tomb stone), a plant (was just there already), curtain (was there and happened to be a matching colour) and the deer antlers that I had bought earlier to make a cool hat ;)
DeleteOh my. I'm in love with the hair clip. ^o^
ReplyDeleteThanks! I resisted the urge to wear my own hair clip to work today, it would have been a bit too much with the skull dress I chose. But maybe tomorrow with a plain black dress... :)
DeleteEikä, aivan ihania. *-* Pitää varmaan tulla ostoksille.. :)
ReplyDeleteKiitos! Saa tulla ostoksille, osa noista lähtee taas animetapahtumiin myyntiin, mutta Etsy-kauppa on ykkönen eli sitä kautta saa varmasti haluamansa :)
DeleteWow! I love these! The fleur de lys cabochons are gorgeous, and I really DO want to eat those candy looking crosses, and those coloured teardrops remind me so much of my childhood, perhaps I had something like that then! Wow, everything is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I was so inspired by spring and wanted to use many colours, I think it worked very well :)
Deleteooooaaaah - i love this collection. Especially the glitter bat bow and the purple translucent cross earrings! <3 Hmmmm - have to pass by your etsy store when I am back from Paris and saved a bit money ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have a pair of purple crosses myself, and they look great especially with your hair up. I hope you have a great trip to Paris, have fun!
DeleteI don´t really like pastel colors, but these are amazing ♥
