Conclusion // the Elements series

Finally we have wrapped up Elements, i hope you have enjoyed the rain clouds & rainbows :)

Much to love about each piece: 

the casualness of Over The Rainbow, 

darkness of Storm, 

cuteness of Puddles,

freshness of A New Leaf, 

colours of Downpour & Drizzle (which is why I made 2 versions!),

elegance of Vine.

Plus Teared & At Rainbow's End necklaces which are great for every occasion ;)

Speaking of necklaces, I made this quite a while ago but have lost the original photos, all I have left is this taken with phone:

Using the image from Part 1/9, matched with a sparrow & off white flower with a reference to Balloon.

Planning out series is a huge load of fun, definitely will be rolling out more of these ;)

At Rainbow's End // Elements Series

Just like how it started, the Elements series end with a rainbow,

for every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial.

A dove signifying freedom, set against tranquil light blue hues, I love the water colour blotches on the photo charm :)

A New Leaf // Elements Series

We love new beginnings, whether it is a chance to redo something all over again or kick start a brand new idea, it injects fresh energy into life. A new perspective, a new hope.

For this photo charm, I placed 2 tear drops together, which almost look like leaves especially with the green blue shades.

(In other words, after the tears come the growth part)

Let this fresh rejuvenating colour pairing be a visual reminder that all things do work together for good, growth comes through trials :)

Storm // Elements Series

As I was working on the photos of this bracelet, I thought 'hey, it's pretty timely with the incessant rain & thunderstorms we've been having the past weeks' :)

Of course, I made mine with an added kick of magical aura by including snowflake, star & angel wings charms.

For beads, striking midnight blue beads alternating with cloudy grey chinese crystals (special effect added with a side of it having the *AB coat) which looks like flashes of lightning in a stormy sky! ;)

*AB effect: known as Aurora Borealis (AB), making the coated part reflective shiny

The Elements Series

Over the long weekend, I took time out to plan this new series, putting ideas in a notebook rather than having them scattered all over the mind for the entire of October. I spent a few hours arranging beads and making notes, at the end of the session I have scribbled pages long of notes & took tons of draft photos of the jewellery to be made, that was good for the soul :)

As you can see in the photo above, rain clouds, teardrops, rainbows make up this photo charm series.
I absolutely adore clouds, something about the fluffy white bulbous type just makes my heart soar with gratefulness for having this beauty of nature to be enjoyed daily :) and having rain drops together is a huge plus, total love ♥

The first bracelet will be up tonight, while the rest will be published on the blog as soon as I finish making it, piece by piece.

Thanks :)
