winter is close, let's make rainbows

I am soon moving and trying to use some materials...and I'm so in love with colored glitters that I cannot stop making rainbow broches!!! here they are together with a new few creations. I'm having fun like a child in a candyshop :)

Roller Derby Love

I recently started practicing roller derby here in Rotterdam. I fell in love with this sport ever since I saw a movie about it, titled "Whip It" directed by one of my favourite women ever: Drew Barrymore. So, when I discovered I could participate in a so-called "fresh meat day" I took the chance immediately! it is a tough sport, especially since I was not used to sports, and I did not know how to properly skate. But I am LOVING it and putting a lot of effort to improve as fast as I can. So, I offered to support the team by making resin brooches with their logo on it, to sell as merchandise. I madethe first one and the girls loved it. :) can't wait to try more combinations !!

going crazy with resin!

my friend simona asked me to make some resin brooches with the logo of her association... (which, by the way, I found lovely, perfect union of romantic and rockabilly! and so italian :) ) These brooches will be a trial version of a possible bigger production. They will be sold at one event next sunday, and if they turn out to be popular, then I will need to make a BIG amount of them. I enjoyed having a limited amount of freedom... i could play with colours and shapes but of course they had to match the logo. so.. just a few samples for now...

In the Vintage Mood...

first of all, happy new year everyone!
I hope you had a great start of 2012. I surely did, I started the year with a wonderful trip to the South of Italy to visit some friends I haven't seen in years. It's been great: breathtaking landscapes, lots of nice foods and endless talks.
And now that I'm back, I feel really energetic and active.
So I started my new production with some vintage inspired resin jewels. At the moment these are the items I enjoy most: finding the little figurines is a lot of fun, as well as matching glitter and images for the background.
I hope you enjoy these new necklaces and brooches!

a rollercoaster ride...

Lately I feel as if I was constantly on a rollecoaster. Ups and downs are really strong in this period... this is probably why one of my favourite songs ever is My Rollercoaster by Kimya Dawson. I have the feeling it talks about me...seriously :)

life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
every day's a winding road yeah
my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
as long as it keeps goin' round its unbelievable

(in the picture, the latest creation I added to my shop: a heart-shaped resin brooch filled with real candy sprinkles. yummy!)

owl cuteness

sometimes you find images that are SO cute you cannot resist... that's how I transformed supercute owl stickers into resin jewelry :) I already sold one brooch at Bazar Bizar, but here I show you the necklaces, which are now going straight to my webshop... I plan to make more so stay tuned!

Spring is in the Air!

new pretty items on my webshop, in the mood for this time of the year...

catching up!

keeping up my good resolutions and trying to photograph all the items that were left behind... not easy at all :)
