Moving House

Yes! We're moving to a new home! I've just about added all the blogrolls in my previous blog (this one) to my new home (this one). Yes, I am excited. and yes, I am skeptical that I'm going to lose readers by moving to a new home, but hey, it's a risk I'm willing to take :)

So if you haven't done so, I'd like to invite all of you to Aglaia's new home at http://worldofaglaia.wordpress.com

PS: this super cute starfish lives in a 'Secret Zoo' in Batu, East Java :)

Allegra 1.3: the ring

Allegra: freshwater pearls, czech crystals, faux pearls, silver plated wire

A long overdue post. The second to last installment of Allegra.

I personally LOVE rings, I love making them and I love wearing them. Naturally, this piece developed rather quickly and I am very happy with the end product.

On another note, I've finally succumb to the idea of moving this blog to wordpress. I've been reading quite a bit of tips from G&G (V has A LOT of useful tips and infos!!!) and hopefully will be able to make a smooth transition soon.

Allegra 1.2: the earrings

Allegra: freshwater pearls, czech crystals, faux pearls, silver plated wire

As soon as I posted Allegra (the bracelet) for my little blackberry community to devour, I was approached to create the whole nine yards (earrings, ring, necklace, the whole lot). The focus are still on the gleaming white freshwater pearls, hence the decision to create a free-formed skeleton (those round, squirly things as a dear friend would describe them) that can bring the different materials, colours and textures together.

This is Allegra 1.2: the earrings.

Allegra 1.1: the bracelet

Allegra: freshwater pearls, czech crystals, faux pearls

it took me weeks to create the perfect bracelet that exudes elegance, with white as its main colour. All I can say is that I am reaping my reward now, as people seem to love the concept of Allegra, and I've been kept busy with creating more and more of them. This is Allegra 1.1: the bracelet.
