Pentagram Bracelet & Necklace set

I myself am pagan so when my pentagram necklace broke I decided to get a little creative and make a new one. This is the bracelet and necklece set I made a back in 2005 with two pentagram charms and some beads.

Old projects; small bags

Here are two small bags I made years ago. The first one for a school project where we practiced sewing an Invisible Zipper. Came out good for my first try. The second is just a little drawstring bag I made one day because I was inspired by the fabric.

I really liked this fabric and just wanted to do something with it. I only had a small scrap of this fabric so this is the design I came up with for it.

Tia's Bag

This colorfull bag was a custom job I did for my aunt Lillian who likes to knits. I design all the pockets inside the bag to accommodate her books, long needles, and other small accessories. There is also a small pocket on the front for things she needs faster access to.

This costume was made for my friend Alex for Halloween 2004. Made with a yellow poly-cotton material. The black stripes were sewn on strips of blanket binding. I used a commercial pattern again and altered it for the costume.

Also for Halloween 2004 this was the second costume I ever made. For the skirt I used a pattern but tweeked it a bit to fit the character. For the top the person decided she wanted a sweatshirt because we were gonig to be outside at night and didn't want to be cold. The collar and cuffs I made a pattern for from scratch and just attached them to the sweatshirt. All in all I really liked the outcome.

This costume was also made for Holloween 2004, but was revived for Anime Expo 2006. It's made from purple and black cotton fabric. The staff was hand made by me using dowling rods, cork-board, clay, hotglue, and tape. Then I added the metal rings and painted the whole thing with acrylic paint. This outfit was the hardest one I've made so far. It doesn't seem like it would be that complicated but the characters outfit actually defies gravity, there is no way that the purple piece is just tied in place like that. It wouldn't work. But I think I did a good job making it work.

I'm the short one, incase you couldn't tell. :D

This was the first costume I ever made. It was originally for Holloween 2004 but I also revived it for Anime Expo 2006. I used commercial patterns but had to alter the design to fit the outfit. The fabric I choose was red cordiroy to give the garment some shape and so it would be able to hold the form. The necklace was also made by me. I painted some round white beads purple/black to form the main body of the necklace and then made each of the fangs by hand out of clay.

Jeweled broch

This is a jeweled broch I made for my friend Mara's birthday. Made from glass stones and jewelry wire. Wasn't too hard and the supplies were on hand. I'd never done this kind of thing before and I really like the way it came out. It only took me about an hour. The inspiration came from Mara herself, I thought of her and how she is and these jewels came to mind.

Olette Costume Jewelry

Here is the necklace and bracelet for the "Olette" costume I made from the video game "Kindom Hearts 2". The necklace is just a silver chain with a blue transparent glass stone glue to it. The bracelet was made from white clay that I shaped by hand into small beads then painted turquoise and glazed them for shine.

Tribal bracelet

This is a bracelet made from a larger coker necklace that had broken. All the beads fell off so I decided to make it into a bracelet instead. I used the beads from the necklace and changed the design and order of the beads, and used elastic string instead of regular thread so that I didn't need a clasp. I can just slip it on and off.

African inspired bracelet

This bracelet was my first project working with clay to make beads. The clay came in various colors and then I painted the designs on them with regular acrylic paint. I used elastic string to finish that way it was easy to put on and take off. Also with the elastic string it was water resistant.

Celestial bracelets

Here are two different verisons of one design. One with purple beads and one with green beads. These are some of the first bracelets I designed.
