For this necklace, I used a cane with less contrast. The result is less colorful than what I usually do, but it gives it a nice, different «marquetry» effect. Okay, I'm putting away my slicer and canes for now: the next post should be more colorful.
Here are some of the latest pieces of jewelry I've made. But the big news is that I've (somewhat) restocked the online shop... Then I scheduled a few day-long workshops for the coming months. Want to take a peek? The jewelry is HERE and the workshops are THERE.
The recent events have deeply touched me. I think we will all be a little changed by them. What I would like to remember is the beautiful wave of fraternity and solidarity that resulted from it. It's been a week that I've been trying to express what I feel but I can't find the words, so I preferred to express myself...
Yes, you know those good resolutions we make at the beginning of the year... the ones we already made last year at this time... One of my resolutions is to be more present here and there. (Yes, I know this isn't the first time I've said it and not done it...
I'm continuing my search for sleek, practical, and original mounts. This time, no magnets, but a closure at the neckline.
I'm working on new necklaces: the constraints I've set for myself are: sleek, easy, practical... I've opted for a magnetic clasp that's invisible and sits at the neckline. Despite spending a lot of time trying to photograph this necklace, I can't capture the effect it has: you have...
Ouch! It's been over a month and a half since I last checked in here... That's not good! It's not that I've been inactive, far from it, but I'm getting used to my new activity, and despite enjoying it a lot, there are times when it's not always easy. I recently discovered the harsh reality...
A huge thank you to everyone for your lovely comments here or on Facebook. I haven't replied to you personally (well, well done, that's a great start!) but all your messages have truly touched me a lot!
When I don't have any ideas to start a blog post, I sometimes go browse Mr. Google to see if it can give me some inspiration. Sometimes I stumble upon poetry (yes, really...) or funny sayings and proverbs, and sometimes that allows me to start a...
Just because I'm not posting doesn't mean I'm not doing anything. I'm not stopping. Lots of projects coming up at the same time. Some very nice opportunities that make me happy. Wedding decorations to prepare. Here's a prototype, by the way. I picked up the assembly from my very first tutorial which...
Some of the latest creations from the workshop. Many have already left... others are in progress, but I'm finally taking the time to finish orders placed some time ago.
When Tewee launched this new challenge on the Créationfimo group (with her usual flair for finding us... twisted ideas), I first thought: »Well, this is tough... I made the bag, the glasses, but shoes... I throw in the towel!" But the idea had been launched, and despite myself, I thought about it sometimes to the point...
Since I had two very pretty girls «on hand,» I was also able to photograph my hair jewelry on short hair and long hair. A full-day workshop is planned to learn how to create this style of flowers, make your own petal texture, and pretty pistils. Otherwise, there are still spots available for...
If there's any jewelry that systematically resists me when I try to photograph it, it's earrings. Fortunately, I have adorable friends who kindly agree to lose their afternoons playing models. Thank you to both of you, you are superb!
I've been working on this project for quite some time. It's a rather selfish project since I wanted to cover the small table where I like to drink my morning coffee. Fimo tiles painstakingly assembled and protected by a tempered glass plate. I inaugurated it this morning when it wasn't too hot, with...
... it's for me. I needed to refresh my jewelry a bit. The following necklace, I made it for the swap at the meeting that took place in La Bréole. Florence inherited it... I felt a bit pressured since she also works a lot on 3D flowers. The flowers...
It's for me! Always with foils. For once, I made a set: necklace, earrings, and ring.
Tewee from the Créationfimo group often proposes challenges that force us to seriously «ruminate.» The latest one was particularly tough. The idea suited me perfectly because I had wanted to create a polymer clay bag for several months already. Here is my proposal: The shells are entirely in polymer clay and the clasp...
I see some who give, give jewelry around their necks. It's beautiful, but still, they're just pebbles... Searching for new forms, new ideas, I'm fumbling... But I managed to capture a bit of color in all this ambient grayness. Here are my little pebbles: like little pebbles picked up from the riverbed...
Walking in this extraordinary place and rediscovering one's childhood. Looking at the colors of these trees, which weren't there when I was a child, yet they remind me of that privileged childhood in boots and velvet trousers in this little corner of paradise. Watching my happy children, cutting through the air, armed with sticks picked up from the...
Well, here it is: after several weeks, here I am back, flirting with my subscribers… I'd like to show you my latest gem. It can be worn by a woman in the prime of her life (or not), but under no circumstances by a woman who is a bit of a romantic. I wouldn't want to be...
.....to hang around his neck. Very strange flowers of an unknown variety, but which will be perfect for celebrating the return of the sun!
There are consistent girls who update their blogs regularly and always have interesting things to say or show, and then there are girls like me who let time slip away. There are the foresightful girls who take advantage of a sunny week to take all their photos...
Volubilis is the name of a plant with exuberant vegetation that vines around trellises or stakes. It's the name I gave to this also somewhat extravagant necklace, which will wrap around the neck according to the whims of the woman who wears it: like a tie over a tunic, as a...
After color, back to black and white with etching, hidden details, and then a bit of this and a bit of that... still in a fairly classic lens necklace shape, but right now I feel like doing rounded shapes.
