Self-made Jewellery

Well well, some of you might have heard that I was 'kidnapped' by my parents two days after the exam, and they took me to spend a week at the sea. And since I'm a wee bit like a crow with shiny things, I just couldn't resist picking up *tons* of seashells. Literally - I had a whole bag full at the end of the week... XD So I spent the weekend going over all my treasures, cleaning them, applying clear varnish and putting the pieces together to make some nice jewellery. I ended up with six pendants, two pairs of earrings and four sets of a pendant with matching earrings. And I still have many many more seashells... O_o

The Pendants:

The Earrings:

The Sets of Pendant and Earrings:

So, what do you think about the results of my gathering of random seashells? Maybe I should quit architecture and become and jeweller... XD

Very pretty...and each one is unique!

You did an amazing job! I need to go to our beach and see if I can find such pretty shells. :-)

These are so beautiful! *______* I escpecially like the first pendant. All of them are so unique and catch interest right away... beautiful work!

You're very talented! 8DDDDD

Mega pretty, my dear! I love how summery and Mediterranean, even ancient Grecian, they look, if you know what I mean. Exotic! I think it’s from how they look rough yet still a bit perfect too. I’m also getting a pirates and mermaids vibe from them...huh. In short, I approve! :) Beautiful as always.

Oh, and the Evil Empress always has a place open for a jeweller... ;)

Thanks, dear! Glad you like them! It was really fun, and I think I might make some more...

Thanks a lot! You really should go and have a look at your beach - gathering shells is such a calming thing to do. And satisfying, once you've made something out of them ^^

Thanks, hon! I would offer you the first pendant, but it was already promised to a good friend of mine... Well, you can have a look when you're coming by and then take one with you - I guess I'll make some more until then XD *cuddles* I'm so looking forward to our most awesome time together *thinks of all the stuff we have to talk about and all the movies/shows we have to watch*

AND CONGRATS FOR GETTING INTO UNI! *sends a hundred hugs* I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! YAY! (just to tell you: I always knew you'd make it - I knew Megan is awesome! ^____^)

Thanks a lot, my dear! Well, I wouldn't exactly call myself a genius *frowns at her not-up-to-expectation diploma grade* I'd just say I have many interest XD

Hmmm, maybe I should sell them? XDD Well, let's be honest, I'm more the kind of person to give them away for free, and several pieces are already promised to friends of mine...

*signs contract to work for The Most Awesome Evil Empress* Hehehe, glad you like them, sweetie! I already made your parcel and I'll bring it to the post office first thing tomorrow morning. I'm really curious how long it will take to get to you...

Hmmm, I've never given the jewellery much thought. I just let my hands take over and see what comes out. But I guess you're right, there really is something ancient about them. My dear, jewellery really is your hobby - I bow to that! ^___^ I really hope you'll like you pendant *nervous*

Ow, they're all beautiful ;D YAY, than you so much! *cuddles*
I also can't wait already! It'll be so awesome <3333

*cuddles some more just because*

Beautifull.:)

This icon suits talk about ancient stuff, I think. ;) It comes from working in a jewellery store for nearly three years, I can't help BUT start analysing all the jewellery I see lol (and I do enjoy it too!). Thank you so much for the pendant, you're too kind, you know that?? :)

Now, if you'll just initial here and here in blood and sign over your immortal soul, you're already to start work for the Empress!

Ahhhhhh, thank you so much for the cute chocolate head XD YOu know how much I like chocolate! *haz an idea* I have to take you and bacha to the Lindt factory outlet store when you're here - the best chocolate ever...

*come back for more cuddling and cuddles you too - just because*

Haha, your wee parcel is on the way! I sent it the day before yesterday (and don't worry about the fees, it was much cheaper than I expected because the jewellery is so light I could send it as a letter). And to make the waiting period even harder for you, I'll tell you that there's another surprise for you in the parcel... *teasing grin* I reaaaaally hope you like it *curious*

Let me guess, three years in a jewellery store may have augmented your love for shiny things, but you already loved jewellery before, didn't you? So it's a perfect job - you love what you do, learn stuff about it and earn money (I really want that kind of job ^^).

*takes our her dagger, cuts her finger and signs the contract in blood* Well, may I call you 'boss', now? Or Boss Empress? Or Your Royal Bossness? *confused* XD

*grins* you're welcome! Chocolate is <3333 OMG, THE LINDT FACTORY?! *______________________* <--- that's how my face looks right now - I love Lindt's chocolate! 8D

What? Another surprise?? You're really naughty, you know that? Not that I'm complaining!! :) I'll let you know what I think as soon as I receive it. Should only be about two weeks.

And yes, I do love jewellery before I started working at Diva. Although my love has changed, while I still really like costume jewellery I have a real fondness for the real stuff too now.

Hmmm, that is a puzzle. How about Evil Empress Boss Lady? I dunno, that had a nice ring to it in my mind! Lol.

Oh, and I have a surprise for you too! I'll get back to you in a few days regarding it but, here's a hint, I will need your address (written how I would put it on the package because I'm a little dense at addressing mail 0_o). :D :D Now, wish me luck. I'm going to an info night for auditions on Monday (the play is 'The Mousetrap'). It's kind of, very, scary!!

They're beautiful. I would definitely buy them.

Thank you very much ^___^ I'd offer to just give (or rather send) you one, but I've given them all away by now. Friends all over the world own those pieces of jewellery now... I can let you know if I make new stuff, if you're interested, and then you can have the first pick ^^
