pixels are good for the soul

all available now at pixels ATTACK via etsy.

HAZAAR!


please welcome my new etsy shop, pixels ATTACK!

i have so many of these perler/hama beads that i've needed to do something with it. i used to have a different etsy store agesss ago with an assortment of things including pixelwears, but i closed that shop not long after i opened it. but inspiration has come again to re-open a new store to sell my ironed goods.

this is just the beginning. i have a super awesome pixel product in the making, but it's going to be some time before i unveil that one.

for now, just enjoy the awesomeness that is pixels.

p.s: we went to the dog park today and kicked a soccer ball around for about an hour. which is great exercise but then we ruined it by having this for dessert.

apple turnovers. amazing. puff pastry + bakers apples + jaffle maker + ice cream = *drool noises

new necklaces on etsy.

pretty self explanatory really. i've posted up two new necklaces on my rupert and sherlock etsy.

available here at US$40 each with free express post within australia.

i also have a few projects going on at the moment that i will reveal soon. which i'm excited about. one invovles an opp shop buy and that's a big deal for me because i'm not the oppshop type. i try and try but i just can't bring myself to enjoy it, or buy anything. but i'm stubborn so i'm keeping at it. i hope to bring these to you sooner rather than later...with my track record.

to affinity and beyond.

i have a strange affinity to buying jewelry. i say strange because i don't actually wear any. i wear some time to time, now and then, mostly just some statement necklaces but otherwise, they all just sit in my ikea tree looking pretty. i've come to gradually realise this over the years and have toughened down on what i buy. i used to get a whole heap of cheap assortments of things but never ever wore them, because that's what they were, cheap and thus never looked nice. now i buy more in investment pieces, ones that stand out, not necessarily with a hefty price tag, but ones that i will knowingly feel special in, like i've made that extra effort.

the above photos are an assortment of things i've gotten over the past year or so and naturally all from etsy. i find that being a handmade site, i will always find something new and unique with reasonable prices.

1. a ceramic skull ring from mixko. this was made in limited edition so none of these are available anymore in this style. they do although have some left over with rhinestones in their eyes, which i personally thought was a bit distracting. they also had at one point a baby doll head ring in ceramic which was creepy but slightly calming.

2. a beautifully crafted copper cuff from jewelstreet. i fell in love with this one straight away and asked if it was possible to reserve it. she was awesome enough to say yes (that's another thing about etsy, they are all so lovely). i prefer silver, which she said she would be able to make up if i wished, but i couldn't afford it at the time as it was quite a bit more. but i had to have this cuff no matter what colourway it is.

3. this piece is amazing. i love it because as a child i used to love collecting the christmas beetles in qld where i used to live. but now in vic i haven't seen one at all, so this was a great way of showcasing them. also because it has been set in resin you can import it as it comes from the usa. it was made by kolosstudios. they have a wonderful selection of pieces and if bugs isn't your thing, they have cast other things in resin also.

4. super cute faux moss ring from adornjewelry. i was jealous for a while when i found this because in the states they have such a cute variety of moss jewelry and of course with import customs i would never be able to own such a thing, until i came across this. i thought it was so clever because it will also never die. i got quite a lot of complements when i wore this and it was fun to play with while bored as well as the texture is nice.

5. this necklace was so amusing when i stumbled across it and i laughed for a while then bought it straight away. i felt very gansta. haha. it comes from nat1489 and is still available. i love wearing it. i still find it amusing and i got it quite some time ago.

6. this is one of the most recent purchases. well ben got it for me for my birthday. it was handcrafted by jewelerjim and he's super! the ring wasn't in my listed size but he remade it all for me again with no extra charge. it is such a beautiful ring and looks amazing on. i've worn this ring a lot more then some of my rings i've owned for over year, but i've only had this one for over a month. he has such beautifully designed pieces in his store, some way out of my price range, but still amazing. if only.

another thing i love about etsy, is that, if a piece isn't in a limited edition collection, it will still be there months to come, if the seller sees fit to continue making it. compared to consumer fashion, where it's there one week and gone the next, never to be seen again. this is one strong ill wishing emotion i have towards it. ben will say something like, think about, next time, or i will want to check out my bank balance and then when i want to get it, it's gone. the amount of times it has happened to me it's not funny. especially in this year alone, where i have only done online shopping, then it's open to the world and not just the locals. so i'm very close to learning my lesson, if i love it, wait a day or two, then get it. if money permits. oh how money pains me.

what are your favourite pieces new and old? are you like me, where you own lots of things but never actually wear any of it?

metamorphosis.

FINALLY, finally, finally gotten around to taking photos of my necklaces to post up on etsy. it's been quite some time. i did take some a few weeks ago, inside, at night, with some bright lights but it made everything orange and not even photoshop could fix it. so i gathered up all my motivation for the month and took them today. i've only uploaded a few for the moment, as spreading them out over time makes for the best exposure.

on sale now at rupert and sherlock.

the set of necklaces above is my metamorphosis series. the center necklace is the base then you buy the attachments separate to suit your mood, mix and match. i was quite pleased with myself when i thought of this one. plus it means not having to spend lots of money on buying a new necklace each time. so far i only have the two turquoise nugget attachments shown here, but there will be quite an assortment to come.

the necklace im wearing in this photo is one yet to be released. it is made from the most beautiful faceted druzy agate in a wonderful navy colour. i bought two lots of these beads lengths before i even started using them. i adore them so much. this one is my own, as i said in my previous post, i make them then end up keeping them myself. but luckily i have still quite a few leftover so it will be making an appearance in my etsy store.

i will also be updating my photos on my already existing cuffs plus adding some new colours i have made up. plus some limited edition ones (they have vintage heart shaped studs on them, available in limited quantity....minus the ones i keep for myself...)

so please check out my store regularly for new items. i am also open to doing custom orders or wholesale. i have also updated it so postage in australia is now free and it's express! if there is a listing with postage still charged, contact me to change it or i will refund it after payment.

druzy-licious.

a. necklaces by beijo flor. b. necklaces and bangles by sparklecouture.


for as long as i can remember i've had a love for druzy and agate slices alike. i remember when i discovered them and found it such a treat when i could buy one or two at the new-age healing stone faerie shops (you know the ones) when i went to the mall with my mum and grandma for the movies and shopping. i still have those somewhere, in a box. but my love for them has re-surfaced and i can't get enough.

i've been trawling ebay and etsy to find supplies of them wholesale so i can make my own necklaces, for my own use and for sale on rupert&sherlock. the trouble with this is that, each stone is unique and different, so you will never ever be able to have them all. a bit like pokémon. i am constantly finding new ones that amaze me and make me need to buy them, otherwise someone else will and it, will then obviously, not be mine. which is not an option. i find them ever so much more fascinating than diamonds, to my partners approval (he doesn't really agree with the whole diamond thing).

i have a small collection at the moment of both slices and the geodes but am at a loss at how to use them. i want to make it a bit more interesting then just linking them on some chain as a pendant. i've made one so far that i adore, but the problem is, i now keep it for myself. quite a few necklaces i've made with the intention to sell, ends up on a hook in my bedroom instead and with agate it's even worse because there's only ever one of that style... another issue is that a lot of my slices aren't drilled but i haven't quite managed to drill them myself yet. i tried one form of drillbit with no results, so now i'm waiting for some new ones from china. bunnings has nothing and they referred me to a hobby shop and i assume that would cost a bit of money. no thanks. i need all my money to buy stones. as some of them can end of costing quite a bit. especially at the quantities i want to buy them...

what are your favourite type of stones and gems?

my new planter endeavour.

the above photo is one part of my bookcase. i love it. the rabbit is a collection of three and comes from the local gift store, cactus jam. although i'm sure you can find them other places, or could have as i got them quite some time ago. they are adorable. i love rabbits. i used to own a rabbit. but i had to let him go because he chewed power chords and attacked sherlock. he is much happier now at a farm (i'm serious about the farm, it's not a metaphor). the tiger is from the melbourne zoo.

for a while now i've been trying to buy flowers from bunnings and put them in pots and have them in my study to brighten it up. one word can sum up my efforts.

fail.

which brought me to the realisation that i've had a rather large cactus in my study for over a year now and it stayed alive and looks perfectly healthy, even though for about half a year it was neglected and forgotten about. quite seriously. i stopped using my study during winter (and we know that melbourne winter lasts nearly all year long...) so it lived next to the window, trooping on. so it clicked. i'll buy cactus's from now on, surely i can't fail at that (although i have killed cactus's in the past). so i did. so the cute little cactus in my photo (which looks like it's frosted) now lives in a cute teapcup i bought from the cheap shop. i also bought a ramekin which looks like a cupcake patty pan thing and in it lives another cactus. one of those albino grafted cacti. it's a red one, so it kind of looks like a candle.

which now brings me to the point of my story. i thought. wow. that's cute. i wonder what else. then i remebered that i've always wanted one of those donkey pulling the cart planters you find in the front yards of old ladies. i've always thought they were so cute. so i searched my favourite site etsy and i found a plethora of vintage planters. so many of them were little lambs. as cute as they were, i got a little sick of seeing them. i opened up the ones i thought were the cutest and contacted the sellers for international shipping. at this point, i got quite annoyed (and defeated even before i started collecting them) as a few of them replied that they don't ship internationally. one because theres no tracking. although there is, even signatures are required, but this lady was stubborn so no point argueing. another because it was too complex to quote accurate shipping. although a few days later she replied with a shipping quote because more of her items were inquired about so she went to the post office, so that worked out nicely. there's also a lot of sellers who just don't reply. fair enough you might be busy, but i want to give you my money... in the end these are the three i bought.

L-R: sweetlilystudio, jacjak2, wilshepherd.

the donkey cracks me up. ben said it reminds him of pinnochio when he realises he has turned into a donkey. the horse was because it was so unique. the lamb because it was the cutest one and cheapest one available. i've spent so much money lately i couldn't spend too much and with shipping it really hurts the budget. sometimes i wish i didn't live in australia. but bens stepmum is an oppshop guru, so i think i might ask to go out with her one time and go searching. she loves it so much and i love hearing how excited she gets with her buys, some of them truly are amazing. i'm a noob with oppshops, i'm also a bit closed minded on them as well, to bens dismay. but it was just the way i was brought up.

i can't wait until they arrive so i can shove cactus's in their backs. which reminds me of the hyena's in the lion king. i wish they came as a planter.

being neat is not always a good thing.

i've been making A LOT of necklaces lately. i've found a style that i am working with and change it depending on the beads/stones i am using. i have some new stones in the mail that i'm excited about and can't wait to get creative with.

although. i have a problem. i'm too neat. i need to make sure that everything looks balanced when draping my chains and make sure that things are symmetrical and hang just right. yeah it's good in some ways so the piece is aesthetically pleasing in some sense. but i find that when looking at other pieces using the same sort of stones, i gravitate towards the messier necklaces. ones with no boundaries, ones that arent balanced, ones that don't use all silver and mix up the colours and stones in a way i would find blasphemous. i look at these necklaces and began to think i really wish i could let go of rules and make ones such as these. i know i can't. so i start thinking of a way i can save my money to buy them instead because they really are amazing necklaces and i know i can't do it myself.

all necklaces made by loveheylola via etsy. ofcourse.

they are a beautiful mess of chain that makes me want to pull them off my screen and wear them now. plus i've always loved larger statement necklaces. i have found over the years that single chain necklaces with a small charm on them just dont fit in with what i wear or how i look. larger bib sort necklaces on the other hand look a lot better on me, i think it might be due to my round face. so it kind of balances out my upper body area or something. i also wear more simpler tops so it makes for a good addition to an outfit. also the colour really pops as a lot of my clothing is black.

in the end i think my need for these necklaces i've shown is largely due to the fact it's something i cannot do. something that is beyond me that makes it very wantable. kind of like something you can't have. but it's not only due to the fact i can't be messy, it's also because they are a beautiful collection of stones collaborated with the chain to make a perfect mess of awesome. even if i could be messy i would still very much love these necklaces and i hope i can own them myself before someone else buys them. they were only listed just a few days ago.

i have a birthday in sixty days. thanks.

introducing chester.

this is the chester series. chester is the name of the style and it will essentially be the same length of chain with different stones and the threading of the smaller chain will be different each time, or the same depending if it's any easier to follow a previously made one. although at the moment i have no more chain to thread with so i have to order it in bulk from the states as spotlight doesn't have any. i'm pretty happy with the outcome and also how it is so versatile in the sense of being able to have different gemstones each time. most of the time i will have two of each kind as the 16" strands (which is the standard to buy gemstones as) can accommodate two necklaces.

this will be up on etsy by the end of the weekend, as it's now nearly 3am and taking photos in sunlight isn't really possible right now. i used a mirror to reflect more light onto the necklace in the photos above. pretty clever.

i also have another necklace i have designed and that will also be up on etsy soon. exciting times. if only we have more than one neck to adorn with handmade goods with. maybe one for drinking with and one for eating with then maybe another for breating with, so then we don't get things down the wrong one and choke. genius.

turquoise chain necklace

i told you i would re-do the turquoise necklace. it was quite a feat taking it apart and untangling the mess of chain. but i got there. then i redid the mess. but better. i'm letting it go on etsy and madeit as i'm still really picky at how the turquoise doesn't sit straight. i don't remember if i mentioned that previously or not. doesn't matter. it doesn't affect the aesthetic of it, i just don't personally like it. although, if the stones did sit right then i would keep it, as i don't have enough stones to make another. but i am looking into buying round stones. they will sit right. so hopefully it sells and it can fund more necklace adventures. buy it. now. thanks

buy on etsy here.

birds go tweet tweet at sunrise.

still awake and i can now hear the birds making their songs. which inspired me to make a fashion and etsy (cause i haven't done one for a while. i think) post. i should open photoshop and do my photos for the post first. just a moment please. .... thanks for your patience.

alexander mcqueen for his spring 2008 collection. yes i know it's old and was presented in october of 2007, but that doesn't lessen its relevance or amazing-inity of it. personally, i don't like the print and colours of the middle dress but that's cause i'm not much of a crazy print person. i tend to stay true to my florals and plaid. although the feather detail of the dress on either end, is just superb. it looks out-there but demure at the same time. i think that might be because of the colour palette and the partly sombre expression of the model, natasha poly. it's divine none-the-less.

from left to right. cadavercouture / redrubyrose / hayashibeads / kathycoleman.

they're not as avant garde as mcqueen, but that's a good thing for us everyday folk. the two shrugs/capelets/collars are still pretty statementy when it comes to feathers. i love them so much, especially how it's black with an iridescent/oil lustre through the tips. the blackness of it means it's more versatile and easier to pull off. i'm looking at buying the feathers as-is and making one of my own. works out to be cheaper and it will be more special that way. then the two peacock pieces in the middle, are well, just beautiful. i can't ever really go past peacock feathers. they truely are the most majestic in the bird world.

i am so smart. s. m. a. t.

i've added a java from etsy to our sidebar.

check it out.

thanks.

prototype one. cleared.

ok. so i started on this a lot sooner than i thought i would. i usually use the weekends for my sewing. but thanks to summer programming, i had nothing better to do. don't get me started on what they've replaced M*A*S*H with.... ALSO, we have recently aquired the ps3 playtv, which records shows, pauses tv and all that. it's amazing (playstation, please forward me an endorsement cheque). so watching tv when it's actually on tv, is no longer a need. if i must sew, i can watch it later, plus ben has a really really bad habit of talking during the only 2 or 3 shows i watch religiously... now i can PAUSE, let him babble on and then watch him walk away during the ads.

SO, my clutch. after all my brainstorming yesterday or the day before.. i cut out all my pieces today (well i didn't actually cut out all the pieces, as you can tell that the strap and buckle part of the design is missing) and then proceeded to figure out how they should all go together. although the design looks fairly simple, it was more complicated than i thought as i have a problem sometimes putting things on backwards cause i loathe working off proper bought patterns and instructions. i much much prefer making things up as i go. i have tons of patterns i've bought from lincraft and such but i've never actually finished any of them, or started. i really thought i was going to stuff up the zip/inside zip pocket bit but i managed to pull that off nicely, cept the stitching isnt quite straight.. at one point i thought i completely messed it all up because the bottom of it all wasnt lining up when it was inside out. flipping it the right way round and everything was fine. because i completely forgot about the strap and buckle, i put in the pyramid studs instead. i think it looks pretty cool with the pastel teal colour. sewing the inside lining was difficult, as i think i shouldv'e sewed that in before sewing it all together. so the inside seams are a bit scruffy, but it's inside so you can't see it.

ummmm. i think that's about it. it's turned out better than i thought for a first sample but i'll definitely have to work on it if i want to put them up in my etsy store (need more leather!). which is actually up now! you can find my things at rupertandsherlock.etsy.com . i have a few cuffs up in different colours, headbands and clutches/bags to follow. i think as well as making the proper achimedes with buckle, i'll do a range with the pyramid studs. i'm also currently working on a design for a larger bag which will prove to be my downfall.

going to see ted e bears farewell tour tomorrow night(well technically tonight). should be good fun. i'll use my new clutch, take it out for a test drive.

art deco leather necklace.

so sore. ive been playing around with the leathers i bought and today decided to branch out with a new concept. i googled images of art deco necklaces and wanted to transfer that into a leather neck piece. i think the concept is nice and something that i didnt really find on google. which was good, cause it meant i'm delving into something new and exciting! oh my! well. i drew up a couple designs and focused on one of them then went to cutting it from my leather. using a scalpel on tough leather is not really something i would enjoy doing on an everyday basis. but it is necessary to get clean cuts. using double sided tape to hold the pieces down onto its backing, i went to sewing. because my pieces were small and to get close to the edge, i had to hand turn the needle the whole way through. fun times. well i spent a good part of the day hunced over my machine and this is my finished prototype:

im pretty happy with the outcome. theres a few things i need to work out. like the stitching. as most of you would know, you need to back stitch on garments to lock the thread in. i can't do it with this as it bulks up a part of the thread and doesnt match the rest of the border. i think ive got a solution for this, but its really tedious. need to clean up the lines on the sections aswell. the chain hanging out from the left is where you adjust the length of it.

statement necklaces are in. but i havent seen any like this. im on to something here. arent i? why not. once ive perfected this it will be up for sale on my etsy store.

plus my nail polish match it.

must ween off handbags, to use tote bags.

tote by gemmabear

i really really really really want a pug.

but i'm not allowed.

so this is a good substitute for now. i guess. ..

rain rain go away. no no no, i mean please stay.

ah the rain. i welcome it with both arms and the arms of anyone else in reach. and yours. it's been quite hot here in melbourne and it's been awful. the rain is wonderful, it's cool, it's refreshing and it smells good. also gives you the best excuse to stay inside. ben and i have joked previously that it's the perfect gamers weather.

i recently bought a whole heap of leather to make some cuffs, bows for headbands, clips, etc and some clutches. i got inspired from a leather cuff i saw on etsy and ben asked if i could just make it myself. so instead of paying $40 + postage from the US for a cuff, i spent a substantial amount more on some australian leather. the colours are divine and the leathers so soft. so today because it was raining and the weekend (i actually stay inside on most occassions, i just think its a good excuse), i moved my sewing machine into the lounge room (so i can simultaneously catch up on gossip girl) and got to creating.

this is my mess:

i have the most basic sewing machine (as it was my first and didnt want to spend heaps on something i mighn't of used much) but it does everything i need. ben bought it for me at a mothers day sale (i have pets, that counts, right?) at a local store, with owners who are amazing. she gave me a quick how to and said i could come back for help with sewing anytime i needed! my stubby holder on my coke zero can is from rhyll fishing, a rainbow trout farm on phillip island, everyone who eats fish must go. you catch your own fish, then cook it yourself or they cook it for you.

well, after some trouble shooting, pauses for gossip girl and lunch i finally completed my first cuff! i plan on making lots more and selling them on my etsy store. i have a store at the moment, it's empty but i plan on making a new one with the same name as my blog so its easier for people to remember. i also made a headband, i'll post pictures of that another day. i'm pretty happy how the cuff turned out, but i need more buckles! i didnt realise how hard it would be to find decent sized and styled ones. the one i used today was of an old belt from the salvo's but they are pretty expensive for an opp shop. well here's my cuff:

i don't usually like snake pattern and such, but i loved the colour so much i couldn't resist. plus i thought a clutch with this leather would look amazing. that sort of tacky but to-die-for kind of thing. the background colour is actually another piece of leather i have, it's so soft. i'm pretty happy with the outcome being my first one, i can only get better from here. plus im such a perfectionist and can get really grumpy if one little thing isn't right, i know they will just get better. can't wait until i make enough to put up for sale, then sell them, then buy more gorgeous leathers. how excitement.

what's the time mr wolf?

high tea time!

i wish.

i was trolling through my favourite site for bankruptcy, etsy, and decided that i want to make a feature wall. a feature wall of clocks! i told ben (my partner) and he seemed less than pleased, as our clock from ikea likes to make sure it gets noticed by its tick tocking. although i prefer this excuse then him interrogating me where i would put them all. i get this from him everytime i want to purchase a new frame, painting, table tennis table, air hockey table..

bah, details... buy now, fit later.

i do although love how my walls are set up in the lounge room. on my left i have a collection of nintendo characteture prints from fort awesome studios, my own paintings on skateboard decks, random assortment of other prints (mark ryden for one), ikea clock and my favourite vintage floral plate with 'shithead' painted on it from trixie delicious (which was actually my first etsy purchase ever).

then in front of me, i have our tv mounted on the wall. then to my right my 3ft fish tank surrounded by an angelique houtkamp print 'cornelia' and my all time favourite movie poster japanese edition, labyrinth. david bowie is the dreamiest goblin king ever. then behind me i have a montage of frames housing numerous disney posters from japan. i have heaps more i need to frame though but i try to hold off going to ikea until i have a herald worthy parchment with my list of must-buys.

'need' and 'want' are not part of my vocabulary, its only 'must'.

need new bookcase. thanks.

it's no secret that i love ikea. it may be a new information to you but its no secret. i get excited when the new catalogue comes out and my house wouldnt look like a stranger if it was in the catalogue itself. i spend hours in the display store.

i mean hours. four at least.

then i go crazy in the market hall, but i stay composed, although im pretty sure my partner would love to have a pair of magic handcuffs from my pet monster on hand.

which brings me to why im writing this post. i use the iconic billy bookcase from ikea as a shoe shelf. its perfect. i decided to use the bookcase after numerous attempts and failures at finding a stable and aesthetically pleasing one. ive made a conclusion that this was because i kept buying cheap ones. but these are my shoes im looking to house! the ikea one works so well because of the adjustable shelves. but ive run out of room. aghast! my partner actually has the same bookcase for his shoes. ( i know! shock horror! a guy, with more than one pair of shoes! )

ive actually started to take over his bookcase with my boots. .. oops. we have a small house, so another bookcase is out of the question.

then again, we dont really need a kitchen right?

[ top runway photos from his spring 2010 collection. bottom runway photos from his spring 2009 collection ]

in the december edition of shop til you drop i came across a backstage photo of andrew gn's spring 2009 collection (the yellow one to be exact). it's printed in the 'shopping spree: dressed to thrill' article. that article i might add showcases tons of gorgeous dresses i wish could be inserted into my warddrobe but i think i will just have to cut them out and sticky tape them myself, as that might be the only realistic way i could wear them all.

but back to andrew gn. i fell in love with that tiny photo in those glossy pages because it incorporates everything i love right now. lace. jewel tones. large embellished bib necklaces. did you know andrew gn actually creates his own buttons and embellishments in-house. amazing. he is singapore born and is now based in paris. his handwork couture comes at a fancy price so i'll share with you some more budget friendly jewelled necklaces and such i have on my wishlist.
