New listings this month


Vampire defence necklaces. Small glass bottles with everything you need to defend yourself against vampires :-)
I put some Garlic, wooden stakes, crosses and a drop of holy water in the bottles and added a long chain. 

Finally I put different small labels on the bottles that I have made and printed professionally.

Cute Egg Earrings

I found these small miniature eggs and made some cute earrings. They are so tiny and sweet and look like real eggs.

All lined up to dry. I added some glue to attach the eggs to the tiny cups.
After they have dried, I attached a screw eye pin, some miniature spoons and earring hooks and they are all ready to wear.

Making Lemon Earrings

I love to make these cute lemon earrings.


They are easily made using small lemon slices, cameo setting , headpins, a wooden tick or plastic spoon and covering them with resin. It's important that the cameo settings are as flat as possible so the resin does not flow over the edge.




I carefully placed the small lemon slices in the cameo settings and poured the resin over them.
If you need resin, it can be purchased here.


Then they are left to set for about 24 hours and then ready to wear :-)

Simple Leaf Ear Cuff With Chains

I had to post this ear cuff, because for some reason it has gotten so popular all around the world!!

When I first made this ear cuff, I had no idea how popular it would be. I have sold thousands of them, and I make them in different finishes like silver, gold, antique bronze and black.

I also made them so there is an extra earring for the other ear, so they are sold as a pair.
This particular ear cuff has had 43,856 views in one year on Etsy.. that's a lot. And the price is good too: $8.49. So I will keep making them :-)

Powder Coating Jewelry

My newest project is powder coating jewelry parts. I have been wanting to do this for a long time and it's so much fun doing it.

This is also very messy, with colored powder flying around everywhere while I spray the parts. But it's easy to clean up when I am finished.

After spraying the parts that all have to go on seperate hooks, they are baked in an oven for some time and then they are done. The finished jewelry parts are now colored and the surface is non scratchable.. it's really great.


Freshly baked jewelry supplies. Can't say it smells good when I open the oven, because it doesn't. Hot baked metals smell bad, but they look good.

And this is the result.. beautiful powder coated cat earrings.


I spray the different parts using a powder gun - this time using a blue color. I just use a big cardboard box and that works fine.


Then I bake the jewelry parts in an oven which I only use for this purpose.
