Thread Art

Hi everyone,

As now I have a special interest cum love for everything that can make any kind of jewelry piece, here comes an experiment with threads. :)

I have already been buying bangles covered with silk thread, which look really rich and classy. Apart from this, I have been making a different kinds of jewelry cord by wrapping silk cord, helps me to get an Indian look to the necklace.So, why don't bank on threads - cost effective but awesome look.

Experiences with terracotta clay

Hello everyone!

I don't know if it happens to everyone or just me, but now it has become boring to work with beads and wires only. No doubt I keep on buying beads wherever I find, on roads, at Indian temples, tourist places, beaches etc.. Like a hippie I keep on buying beads and don't miss a chance to wear them. But today it's about clay :)

Earrings to match with my casuals

Hello,

As you know, my craze for jewelry making started with a challenge to myself - to create jewelry that I can wear with some of my cool outfits. Here are few of the pieces I created for myself.



This one is to match a black dress with yellow polka dots. It created with glass beads and copper wire.

The blue multimetal pendulum made up of glass beads is one of my favorites.They are totally breathtaking when I wear and goes with many outfits.

And here comes another favorites of mine. (No need to say I am in love with all my handmade earring here and everything is my favorite!) These are made up of handmade lampwork beads and Czech glass beads combined with copper wire. The lampwork beads are purchased from an artisan I met during a jewelry show.

The long hammered wires tied with pink beads are made to match with my white silk top, that has pink lace on sleeves. The pink Czech glass beads used in the above and this one are from my mom's old collection.

The spring earrings were fun to create and fun to wear, too. The handmade lamwork beads are again from the same artisan I met at the jewelry show.I got some compliments about the cool design, but I am really afraid, they are not kinda sturdy. Please suggest some ideas about making them last.
And last, the shiny blue earrings are to match with my shiny blue dress for party!! It is made up with hammered copper wire and blue glass beads.


Hope you like them! Waiting  for reviews.

Welcome to my jewelry blog!

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my blog! I am a marketing and branding expert by qualification on my certificates, but a passionate jewelry artist by heart. Though I have been learning jewelry making since few months, I would totally love to call myself "artist".

This blog is my new journey with beads and wires and clay and many other jewelry crafts and filigree stuff, started after my monotonous, two and a half year's Corporate career. At a cool coffee shop, after a dull day at office I thought about making matching earring for all of my new trendy outfits. And no need to say, I am an addict now. Addicted to colorful beads. Now when I have left my day job, the idea of acquaint myself with these beautiful beads sounds like a cool thing to do. All the filigree stuff at my place inspired me to create my personalized brand with name of Flaneur - represents my mindset at the time I started designing. So, my brand name Flaneur, a word originated in French, means a person, who strolls around aimlessly but enjoyably, observing life.


 So do I. I do not have the big plans for anything now, but I just enjoy creating beautiful things.




Here I wish to discuss the aspects of jewelry making, recent trends, jewelry selling and learning new things of course.
 
Kudos
