MyStudioKoe: Reveal Monthly Challenge : July 2014

In the middle of long holiday, this reveal finally can upload on time. Cause I forgot to bring my camera, so I took shot of my jewelry using my phone. Not bad lah *smile*

SO...

What is the theme for this monthly challenge?!? Let me remind once again, you should pick one jewelry made by you and one jewelry that you ever bought from other jewelry makers. Give the reason why those two jewelleries are not worthy to be used again. And you task is...

Make some restorations to both jewelry. Make them shine again. Give them value once more. Put your amazing design on them until they worth more than before.

So here mine *grin*

First, I choose a bracelet made by local jewelry maker. She quite famous in here with her label Yunikua Art. This bracelet I bought from her about two years ago. Here the bracelet that I want to make restoration...

Full looks of the bracelet

The metal spacers become rusty.

So does the cord end.

The ceramic beads are so beautiful, unfortunately most of the round grommet are off.

The suede are broken.

Here what I keep from the bracelet. I will use the ceramic beads, cause I have the same beads too *lucky me* and for the chain, I will keep them for the next project.

From bracelet to necklace...

I stringed a lot of white Gudo traditional glass beads. The focal is polymer clay bead handmade by FABs.

Lately, I fall in love with Czech glass beads, so don't be surprise that there will be a lot of Czech glass beads on my design *smile*

Swarovski bicone is never absent *grin*

Here the ceramic beads from the bracelet.

Want to give pretty toggle and clasp for the neacklace.

Second, I choose my long-time necklace design for Cocktail Hour Blog Party. The focal broken already, cause by accident I dropped the necklace after wear it.

Some of the elastic string are broken

Dull gold chain

The round grommet of the beadelle bead is off.

Here what I keep from the necklace...beadelle beads...tiny black agate...rose quartz chips...

::: Nuansa Merah :::

Mostly I used beadweaving technique for this necklace. The necklace itself used herringbone tubular.

I combine colors and beads (including the rose quartz chips) for the necklace. And for the pendant, I made beaded tassel with a lot of elements...seed bead...beadelle bead...polymer clay bead handmade by FABs...tiny black agate...
