Zipper Flower Brooch/Pendant

MOAR ZIPPER BROOCHES!

It's vey hard to work with zippers but I like them so much!!And i think I'm getting better with every piece.

This I will use as a pendant, as I need to buy new pins to transform it into a brooch but I think it 'd do a nice effect, a little steampunk-retro feeling.

I believe I improved, though you can still see some of the thread in the front image, But that's because I chose a very light thred at the beginning which I then changed.

have a nice evening everybody!

Zipper Brooch

here's my new baby!!

you've probablt noticed I'm really into brooches more than ever!!

this one is something I wanted to do for a long time, and now I've finally come back at my parents' home where I have all the sewing stuff.. sewing machine and all sorts of materials and fabrics!! YAY!!! =)

I introduce you my zipper brooch, made from a 60 cm long zipper and thread.

very simple materials, but it's complicated to twist it and give it the right shape, so it took quite a while to end.

I haven't decided yet if I'll make an actual brooch out of it or a belt or some hair accessoire, I don't know yet.

Big credits for the inspiration goes to this girl: Skwarynia at BurdaStyle.com

I haven't got the chance to put the watermark on these, but please don't steal them.. or the art theft ninja will punish you!!

I know that the back is still a bit messy, and you can see the stitches in some parts, but I like the way it turned out being the first attempt.

=)

Nighty Night! ♥

Gear for Real Geeks

hey!

I haven't posted in a while, but I've been trying some things i really like.

I told myself that I should come up with something very geeky to be consistent with my initial purpose and with the name of this blog.

So, after sewing a multi-purpose white elastic belt I crafted some things from old happy floppy disks which decided to be my sacrifice for this noble deeds..

and without further ado, I would like to introduce you.. my FLOPPY DISK ART!

this was the first try, i had some trouble initially with gluing all parts correctly but it came out a lovely and cute star..

these earrings are made from the actual plastic case of the disk, I had this bunch of colorful disks I decided to use them.. this is recycling and giving a new life to objects =)

I want to say something about it, it is important to recycle and think about all the problems that our economies are creating by increasing the production of consumer goods which produce waste and help destroy our wonderful planet. We should think more about energy saving, renewable energies and alternative lifestyle.

Supporting recycled and upcycled items can help in a way..

Look at this SITE - STORY OF STUFF to discover a lot of stuff about this..and learn how we can help!

Last news for today, I created a paypal account and as soon as I have enough items I'll open the etsy shop.. stay tuned!

Jeans brooch

yep!
another one!

This is a flower brooch made of jeans, a very heavy and thick fabric, actually not very easy to sew by hand and a beautifl yellow button with a little flower shape on it.
Again, the picture quality is horrible, but my camera hasn't come to life again yet, sorry about that!

Enjoy!

Moar brooches

Hi, I'm back again with some new creations.
The pictures are horrible because I don't have my camera with me and I have to use the webcam instead, and the quality is really poor.
I hope they give you an hint of what they are, and I will update the pictures as soon as I can grab a camera, promise.

So, these are some rose-shaped tulle brooches I did using a tutorial I found on the amazing site [ BURDA STYLE ], and they're much better than the first one I posted, about 3 - 5 cm wide decorated with beads of different kind ans size.

The blue one is the first I've made, then comes the green and the purple one.. I'm pretty satisfied with the last one, that's why I put more details.

I hope you'll like them.

Tulle Brooch

As first entry I am going to show you my very first tulle brooch.

It was pretty much an experiment, I was aiming at something more flower-like, which I achieved later, but all in all I'm quite satisfied with the result.
It is very simple, two different stripes of tulle in two different colours and size.

Please leave any comment, comments and critique are very much welcome here.
yours sincerely,
