shop adventure!

Finally I have made it done of my handmade accessories shop adventure. Hurray!! What a long lasting project. Sigh~ Actually I could define it as a combination project too. Right! bluesy mod comes with handmade accessories and timeless vintages from now on. I have made such change because I want to keep the consistency of the shop image, make things to be more easy and efficient. My handmade direction can be mainly classified into 2 sorts, precise creation and simple statement. For the precise creation, they are much more complicated in craftmanship comparatively. For the simple statement, , they are something simple, minimal and versatile yet enough to add an accent on the whole look. New styles of accessories with some old favourites will be in shop. I keep making new pieces with those lovely material finds, part of them are limtied so they are just one-offs. 

If you have an interest, please come to my new bluesy mod.




p.s. In the meantime, the old shop - silent mint is still undergoing, I will determine the operating direction of it later.

handmade jewelry / silent mint store update

---
silent mint store update. 5 new pieces have been added into rover collection. it's too fun to do the color match! i decide to make more necklaces with big color contrast in bright and pastel color for this lovely summer or maybe some bracelets also. And recently, i'm obsessed with the sparkling accessories. it just looks cool to only wear one shimmery piece even when you go with a simple basic outfit in a day. it seems not that easy to find a favorite one with affordable price, a magnificent one is always too expensive ... so i decide to try to make it myself and shall post it here when i have done.

hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

spectacles once were my everyday wear when i was nearsighted. i didn't like them much at that time as they were an obstacle in my daily live. however, my mind was changed. i love and tempted to buy eyewear more than before lately as they are no longer the medical apparatus for me now (i have done intralace so i can see clear all the time) but i'm more than treat them as a fashion accessory. there is a wide choice in frame styles and color to match with your daily outfit, hairstyle and mood etc. i think they are the little statement or complement for a look, you could be easily looked chic with a pair of them. 

♥ p.s. suzy from beyond the pale has posted my bracelet in her blog post here. thanks so much suzy!

my new jewelry project + handmade jewelry store was reactivated !

----------------------------------------------------------------

i have attempted to make handmade pieces for myself since from my college times. i love to make jewelry as it's too fun to create a unique piece with my favorite materials and color which couldn't be found in the big shopping places.

i'm fond of simple jewelry for a long time. as i said from the previous blog post, i always love to match different pieces into a cluster or just wear one single piece. personally, i prefer an everyday necklace which could be gone with my various outfits, a subtle one could always easily become a statement on the look.

in fact, i have opened a little handmade jewelry store -- silent mint at the beginning of this year. since i have busied at my vintage shop in the last few months, i haven't worked much on it. now i have keeping bluesy mod vintage a bit on track so i could spend some times for making things and reactivataing the store.

i'm crazy around to do handmade pieces this week and finally i have got some of my little creative done! i can't wait to share with you guys a part of them here. apart from my vintage shop, i decide to focus on this jewerly store at the same time from now and possibly create a few items from time to time.

besides my store, i have also opened a page in facebook and signed up a twitter. updated news regarding silent mint will be posted there so please feel free to join me if you would like to get some updates of my handmade crafts.

dear all, happy friday and have a lovely weekend ahead!

xoxo
