1st Reveal For Parcel Lebaran

This is local challenge that I join in. Exchange bracelet as a gift to celebrate Lebaran is the mission from this challenge. I have two partners for this challenge. My first partner loves to wear bangle and bracelet. She is a jewelry maker too. Her name is Wulan Utie Harsono. And click HERE and HERE to find out her jewelry design. So what kind of gift that I sent for her?!?

::: For Wulan 'Utie' Harsono :::

My first partner is so in love with red and silver color. So I sent those three items for her. The silver color metal bangles are made in China. The silver metal bangles should be wear together with The Kanga.

...The Kanga...

 Do you remember this bracelet? Yups this Kanga is part of Good Karma collection. When I saw this, directly I remember about Wulan. So I decide to send this for her, together with the silver metal bangles.

 I used Miyuki seed bead, Czech faceted glass beads and acrylic red lily. I used Russian Spiral Rope technique for this part. I choose Miyuki seed bead and Czech firepolish beads. Inside the rope, I used wire to connect each end with red lily.

I used stringing here with Gudo traditional lampwork beads.

And I made something special to this parcel for her. I have ethnic looks bangle from Nunn, so I made this...

...Three Bazel Bangle... 

This bangle designed by Marla Salezze for Bead And Button magazine.

The materials for this bangle are...

Nunn Design Antiqued Silver Plated Round Bangle With Bazel

Swarovski Crystal Xilion Pendant Bead

Miyuki Seed Bead size 15o, 13o, 11o

Nymo Beading Thread

All the three bangles were packed into this batik box. Hope she will love them x.o.x *wink*

2nd Reveal For Parcel Lebaran

My second partner is Koleksi Iffah. She lives far away from Java island, at Mamuju. It is capital city of West Sulawesi. From the east part of Indonesia, there is a talented lady with her embroidery and clay. Take a look at HERE and HERE. Classic and ever lasting design.

::: For Iffah :::

She loves something with feminine scene. So I picked soft colors and flower beauty on my design for her. To be honest, I don't know how to bring girly scene into jewelry, cause most of my design is about nature and always bring the naturalist scene. Hope above gift can meet with her style *wink*

...Momentos...

I made one new bracelet, the deep purple one. The white frosty is my Foggy Momento series for The Year of Jewelry Project. 

I used simply stringing technique to make these bracelets. I choose to use simple materials too, from synthetic pearls, glass beads, acrylic cabs, acrylic beads and dyed capiz sea shell. I think, the beautiful part of these simple bracelets are on the dyed capiz sea shell beads. I bough the beads from local fisherman.

...Misty Garden...

 Ahhha...do you still remember with this bracelet? Yuuupss it is part of 5th A TimeTo Stitch challenge. For the reveal posting about the challenge, please click HERE.

 For this bracelet I used :

Toho bugle tube 9 mm

China bugle bead 3 mm

Wildfire

Miyuki 13o seed bead

Miyuki 11o seed bead

Czech drop glass bead

Swarovski butterfly crystal

Czech press flower

Lily flower enamel box clap

All the bracelets for Iffah packed into this box. I want to put double F just like her name, but the box was not fit with the alphabet's size *sad* Hope she will love them and used them when Lebaran arrive *smile*

I planned that the 3rd reveal would be the bracelets that I receive from both partner of mine - Wulan and Iffah. But until the reveal day I have not received their bracelets yet (still on the way to my address), so the 3rd reveal is COMING SOON until the bracelets arrive *wink* And here other participants for this challenge...

Beads make me happy!
Specially the artisan one. So...here my yummy duppy beads and components for my weekend beads therapy.

e-Klei-Jar

by Esterina K. Jagiella

She is a polymer clay beads artist of Indonesia who first I know. One look at her work, wanting to buy it all. Below is her latest work. And I am proud to have them.

Pack of Dream

Mostly components on this pack by Nunn Design. I waited for the discount *to be honest* cause for the price is little bit expensive. So when the discount was come, quickly I grabbed the wishlist bangles *wink* marigold flower embellishment and bead cores. And for the loop connector oval with boat, that just to complete my connector inventory. Everytimes I shop from overseas online stores, I never forget to buy Delica. Because Delica less popular in Indonesia, so hard to find the seller here *sad*

Tree Wings Studio

by Rebekah Payne

Rebekah is one of my wishlist artists. I bought these beads when she had special offer a while ago. I've been several times to buy her work. Why? I love the way she colors her work. Just like she paints on the beads and that is the soul for each polymer clay beads she made. 

Czech Cathedral Glass Bead

by Traditional Czech Beads

From all kinds of Czech glass beads, one that I don't have is cathedral beads. And when the discount underway, I bought several types and colors.
