Crown Me




All the hype surrounding the royal wedding must have rubbed off on me, I dreamily played with this & realised the crown charm, the faint pink star, the shiny silver bead & the heart link all sort of point to the wedding.
I guess this is my way of commemorating the event of the year, as some call it ;)
 
* The shiny silver bead is made of metal, so when it hits the crown charm, there is a bit of clanging sound.
which reminds me of wedding bells ;)

Iris



  
Blue-purple glass beads with light lilac glass pearls forming the main strand, with a bold butterfly filigree in the center, I love how eye-catching this is ;)
I attached a flower cabochon to match the lilac glass pearls, creating a softer feel for the bracelet.
Little details across the bracelet that ought not to be neglected: butterfly charms, snowflakes in gunmetal, mini roses & flower plates, plus a sprinkle of beads for a touch of fun!

Customization: Qahh




Qahh gave me a very detailed list of what she wanted, down to every single bead & charm!
She initially chose a white flower cabochon, but I have run out of it so I chose a new design for her, with lilac purple center that went well with her bead colours.

Thanks Qahh, you are certainly familiar with all my bead materials :))

Crafted By Mei goes Offline!

yup, Offline, literally ;)


My line of handmade bracelets, necklaces & rings are now available at
Offline Blogshop, Berjaya Times Square, KL!

It was really fun coming up with this collection of jewellery, from choosing which pieces to remake & at the same time coming up with new designs, to working on the overall deco.
So after lots of planning, scribbling & sore fingers, here's my first venture into retail presence.


 dressing table full of handmade jewellery


Necklaces hanging off the birdcage :)

Customization: Nadhirah

This double strand style has been quite well received, tracing its roots back to Taking Flight and later on made popular by Debbra. I have made several variations to this design, one of them is posted up on the blog (see Jyh's piece) and now, here's another twist by Nadhirah, one for herself while the other 2 for her uni mates as graduation gifts.




Thank you!

Lilacca




Lilacs & lavenders are always a delight to the eye, don't you think so? ;)
I wanted to make this with a Victorian vibe so I covered all beads on the right with bead caps, separated by a flower cabochon, the left end features mini deep violet beads with daisy links.
Hanging off the bracelet is an adorable birdhouse charm :)

Owl




I fell in love with owls sometime last year, specifically the cute, whimsical, wide eyed ones, not the fierce looking, more realistic types, haha ;)
This pendant is simply pretty enough that I didn't want to add too much details to it, a dainty peach sunflower did the job just fine for the feminine touch.
