I know I just said that I don't have time for DIY's, but this one just needed a bit of clear nailpolish and glue to be completed. I swear! I was so inspired by these beautiful lava stone rings I spotted on Yvan Rodic's visual diary in march and the obvious cross rings that can be seen everywhere (in this case Rumi from fashiontoast).
I decided to make this awesome ring myself. It's made out of foamed aluminium, and I cut out the shape with a saw, then smoothed the edges with clear nailpolish, and just glued it onto a ring (from an arts and crafts store). All done and I love it!
Quassinja is the realm of lost memories in Ralf Isau's book 'the museum of stolen memories'. Things that nobody remembers anymore pass from this world into another, quassinja, in the book. I'm very happy that what I found on a treasure hunt through my closet hasn't passed to quassinja yet, since I will certainly be wearing them again.
I love Jewellery! And I definetely go through pases with it. A while ago, it was all about the perfect earrings. Big ones, little ones, chandeliers, you name it, I had to have them all. Then came the time for bracelets and bangles of all kind. I piled them on like crazy. Sometimes I had trouble fitting through coat sleeves. Next up were necklaces. Long, dangling ones, short ones, big statement or delicate ones. Now it's all about rings. I'm looking for new rings everywhere, and can't get enough. Don't get me wrong, while in those "phases" I'll still buy and wear other jewellery, like I'll still pile on bracelets sometimes. Just my focus is a little shifted, and the craved items are the ones I especially look for, while I pick up others.
