First there was no studio... then there was no blog. This blog is here as a testament to my endeavors to continue advancing in lampwork and jewelry design. But it's been about other things and life does change.
I am now happily with studio, and so many crafts I can't keep track. Please visit my website, www.gabiloraine.com
2012 November birthdays, loose beads :)
I have two close friends whose birthdays are back to back. I had to make them some pretty unique gifts. :)
First, Andrea's beads... Andrea loves the Pandora style beads, she had a few of her own already, and always steals her mom's beads as well... I gave her six new beads. These are pretty amazing because they're the first set I make like this, with awesome murrini!
Aren't these murrini awesome!!??
See how I accidentally put one in sideways? lol... still looks cool. I love this murrini.
Then, I also made beads for my friend Paola. I didn't make these with a big hole because Paola is actually a jewelry designer. I told her these beads are a "kit" gift, for her to make something cool with. (BTW Paola, what did you make???)
I used handpulled twisties and murrini on this set as well... Except I left the murrini raised. I love how that looks as well... :D
Different shapes...
Green large beads, stud earrings, and cellphone plug...
Lots of details!
I love these earrings which I made upon request for my friend Claudia. Love the fact that they are different. The color combination is pretty much awesome.
These I made For nobody in particular. Love the colors. Love the transparency in the bright orange.
This I made as a prototype but didn't work out very well. The glass popped right off the plastic jack on the first day of use. I need to find a better glue. This is currently not in the works. Maybe further on. It was a cute idea though right? (Only for people who do not drop their phones)
