New Stuff

I have so much new stuff at the shop, it's crazy.  All in anticipation of the holiday shopping season.  As such, I have crafted a whole load of Klimt earrings.  I like how they are an ensemble of stones and beads which look a little like festive baubles, and how they can take on an artsy shabby chic feel, or be suave and sophisticated, depending on the colour combination.  And whichever way, there's a bohemian edge to it.  Go on, take your pick! :)

        

        

       

      

Ready to Roll

Gosh, has it seriously been THAT long?

I have no idea what happened, but the time has just flown by.  I guess a month-long visit to Singapore, and coming back to Wimbledon, settling into routines, and now preparing MAYA & RUHI for the holiday season, just takes its toll.  On the blog.

I am otherwise very excited to report that I have put ink to paper with regards to setting up shop for a day at the historic Old Spitalfields Market on October 13th.  So right now, I am super busy getting enough stock crafted up, and getting ready the nitty-gritty, like having enough packaging, effective signage, earrings stands, mirors...  Really, you can never be too ready.

It's cold, wet and dark today.  But I feel so good about winter approaching, for some reason.  As nice as it is to enjoy a warm summer day picnicking in the park, I like a cold, wet autumn day for cosying up at home by the heater, and getting down to some housework and crafting. :)

Some of the new Klimts that will be at Old Spitalfields come October 13th!

New Stuff

I should have done this a long time ago, these teeny-tiny Chic and Unique hoops.  Coz they're SO cute!  And for some, a lot easier to wear. 

And I love how the huge ones are so funky and sexy, and these teeny-tiny ones are so modern and dainty...

... with Swarovski cream pearls...

... with faceted purple glass...

... with a chandelier of deep teal Swarovski crystals.

New Stuff

Fresh off the worktable and at the Etsy shop...

Agate geode slice with 14k gold plated chain and freshwater pearls

Jubilee earrings

I figured it would be a nice idea, to have something for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee up in the shop, now that I'm sitting here in London.  I've had this design up before, but not  in these colours.  And I do love how the sheen of the cream pearl, the facet of the red glass, and the matte of the navy blue sodalite stone, all come together so nicely. :)

New Stuff!

Some in the shop, some not quite yet... so here's heads up! ;)

Do check at the store for more pics and prices.  And remember, the Mother's Day sale is now on!  See you at the shop! :)

New in the Shop!

Here are the completed works-in-progress, up and available at the MAYA & RUHI Etsy shop.  Two pairs of earrings perfect for Spring/Summer, and a drop-dead unique ring crafted from little wooden nuggets.

Wood nuggets ring

 I am loving the boho-glam feel, from the au naturel woodgrain against the gold-brass.  And how the wire-wrapping is rocking the organic shape of the nuggets.

SMITTEN Drop - agates, faceted glass

SUNKISSED Trio - howlite, carnelian, coral

And aren't these just perfect for the lovely weather we're having right now? :)

New Stuff at the Shop

I've been sufficiently productive.

Playing around with old formats in new material, and vice-versa. There are a few more pieces of works in progress on the worktable - you know how I get bored with making one earring and have to come back to making the other side in a couple of days.

Truth be told, my neck is a bit messed up and can't take too much of crafting, crocheting or reading for too much of a stretch nowsadays... But I digress.

These here are up and available in the Etsy shop (just click on the captions to get there.)

BLUSH drop in cherry jade, howlite and aqua blue faceted glass

New stuff

A shot of red... so refreshing!

I love this how the deep cherry of this fuchsia agate is played up by the gold brass wire...

Bohemian opulence meets classic elegance in this Klimt of blue quartz,

peach jade, amethyst and Swarovski pearl.

How cute is this little cube against the double hoops!

I love the ruby hue of the faceted fuchsia agate against the powder-blue of the amazonite, set off with black onyx and a cream Swarovski pearl.

Sneak Peek at The Spring Affair - Part 1

Just some of the stuff that'll be on the table come Monday...

Tomorrow, I'll show you the new rings and bangles. ;)

Save the date:

28th March, Spring Affair @ Marriott Hotel, Level 3 Ballroom, 9am-5pm

Work(s) In Progress

Two commissions...


This is a pair of party earrings for C, who fancied the designs of my Byzantine bracelets, and wanted me to translate them into earrings, to go with a pair of very sexy purple satin stilettos. Yum!

I'm all done with the prototype, with amethysts, garnets, onyx, and Swarvoski cream pearls. I'll be taking this apart and working on the final, with slightly finer wire, which I think will give the entire thing an even more sleek and sophisticated look.

This here is going to be a triple strand choker, with stone charms on the toggle clasp, another signature format of mine. T wants something that will look smart enough for work (she's a lawyer), but at the same time something not so stuffy that she looks like a complete nerd. ;)

I adore this gorgeous bunch of faceted turquoise. It's cute, and classy. I'm wireworking them, as opposed to stringing all of them along, so that each little bead can show off its gorgeous faceting and lovely light brown veins, and shine on it's own... :)
