Psalm 23 bookmarks

I didn't know that these bookmarks are called shepherd's hook. Sure reminds me of Psalm 23 after I knew though.

The beaded ones were made with gifted beads from SL. They won't be for sale 'cos she has something planned for them.

But there are more than enough hooks so I'll be making some for sale too :-)

Have a blessed day!

These shoes weren't made for walking

I saw this mid-cut sneaker charm and immediately thought of DS. He has a pair now in marine blue that he wears quite often. I made this out of 9mm rhodium rings that I attached to a key ring but he didn't want it. He prefers keys in a pouch so that they don't jingle jangle. He said to put it on his bag instead and coincidentally, there's a missing zipper pull.

Have a blessed day!

Similarities

Made these 2 bracelets out of the remaining rhodium jump rings. I think I have about 10 of the smaller gauge ones left. So, out of one 40g pack of 9mm rhodium rings I managed to make the cross pendant and these 2 bracelets.

DD's has more flowers. 5 flower charms linked by single jump rings. Flower toggle.

Mine is a 1 by 1 with some 3 ring accents. Flower toggle.

I took less than half an hour to piece DD's together. It took me a while to find opposite petals that were large enough for the jump rings. Sore fingers didn't help much either, these jump rings are hard :-(

I took more than an hour for mine. I started out with a simple one-one chain and decided that it was too plain and since I had some more jump rings, I changed it to a one-two. I still had more rings so DD suggested two-two. After fixing it all up, it looked too chunky for me and I started changing it to 3-ring Mobius flowers with single connectors. Three flowers into the bracelet, I decided that I didn't like it 'cos the flower was too chunky and that's when I switched to the current pattern.

Have a blessed day!

I need a new wire cutter

I wanted to make jump rings. Curled them round my knitting needle and all ready to be cut when I discovered that my wire cutter is blunt at the tip. Now I have 2 springs waiting for me to cut into jump rings. In the meantime, since I could still cut with the wire cutter, I made these. Notice that I took the easy way out and didn't centre the loops. Deliberately. Excuses on a hot, hot afternoon.

Have a blessed day!

More updates

First 2 of 4 coptic-bound hardcover books. White unlined pages with pink or patterned papers for each signature. All 4 are pink and unique :-)

 

DD wanted more clips and I got a bit carried away at the shops. Somehow, hair clips at craft shops cost less than hair clips at accessories shop. These are in gunmetal, DD's current favourite colour for accessories.

So I made some bookmarks with the organza ribbons using antique brass and gunmetal ribbon crimps and charms. I like the shells most. These are really simple to make. A tad tricky to roll the end and crimp it but otherwise, just attach a charms using an O-ring.

I like simple shiny shapes. Kind of regret only getting 2 each. Hope there'll be more at the shop when I next go there. Attached a flower to the light blue double wrap braided bracelet posted previously. Used one square for a bracelet similar in design to the ones I've made before. Last 2 are for an interchangeable necklace. I like the blue + silver combo.

Have a blessed day!
