DIY cabochon necklaces with flowers


Making cabochons with flower images
I'm very fond of this collection cabochons. I made them myself, and so can you! I used some Mod Podge glue, 40x30 mm cabochons and a garden encyclopedia from the thrift store! The flower images gave me a lot of inspiration, which resulted in series of necklaces.

For details on how to use Mod Podge and glass cabochons have a look at my earlier tutorial on making glass cabochons for more tips.

Let's first have a look at the cabs themselves in close up :)

Galactic earrings

Space: stars, planets, moons and comets. People have always looked at the sky and wondered about all that beauty. This collection of Galactic earrings were inspired by the grand cosmic mystery.

Tutorial - A rainbow of earrings



A rainbow of earrings
For me, jewelry design at its best is when I can duplicate it in different colours. Especially if you are selling your own handmade creations, you may recognise that the design process takes a lot of time and effort. It's nice to appeal to a wider range of customers, because you can offer a piece of jewelry in their personal favourite colour.
