Papercraft Essentials with PhotoPlus

I bought the 9th issue of Papercraft Essentials earlier this week. They have a special section in this issue about book art. Pretty interesting! The issue also include the CD-ROM Creative Design Elements Volume 1(for PC) with elements, tags, papers, photos and fonts. The CD-ROM also contains a free full version of Serif PhotoPlus 7. Well, not the latest version of PhotoPlus, but it is free with the magazine!

Striped - gift to Maddie

I made the jewellery set Striped especially for Maddie’s birthday. The jewellery set is made of black/red striped Furnace glass (mouth blown glass), Swarovski Olivine bicone crystals, Swarovski Tourmaline bicone crystals and 925 sterling silver. The colour scheme is in her favourite colours. She got a lot of compliments yesterday when she received the gift. :-)

Arandel and Licorice on focus

Arandel, photo and digital artist, of the jewellery collection Licorice, is right now on focus in the group Swedish Photographers at Flickr.com (svenska fotografer) with Licorice. See more of Arandel’s work .

Introducing Licorice 17th July 2006

The new collection Licorice is made with high quality glass seed beads and crackle glass crystals in different colours. Findings are in sterling silver. The black beads remind of licorice while the sparkling crackle crystals remind of yummy fruit candies! Digital artist Arandel have made the wonderful pictures of Licorice. The collection is one-of-a-kind jewellery and will be available as necklace, earrings and cell phone strap. Licorice will be available in my Etsy shop by 17th July 2006.

Colourful leaves – the name of the latest collection. I started with the collection today and have made earrings in seven different colours: pink, fuchsia, yellow, orange, green, blue and lavender. The collection Colourful leaves will be available in necklace and earrings in my Etsy shop next week.
