DIY! My crafts, voilà!

SO, the news for me is that a few weeks ago I have started to create my own jewelery, earrings and brooches! I’m having so much fun discovering new shops in Paris where to buy things for my little creations.

Here you have a small selection of what I’ve done so far:

Those look great, I specialy like the brooches ;-) I've also started my crafting activity by making jewelry, almost 2 years ago, when I participated in a workshop in a local crafts shop:

Then it was quick until I was making other things and opened my shop :-) maybe the same thing will happen to you!

Thank you Mariana, I received your objects when I got back from a trip at the beggining of the week, they're so lovely and a real inspiration. Thanks so much for your comments. It's nice to review your "story" making jewlery, and how in such a short time you went that far. For the time being I'm just in a learning process and enjoying this moment like a 3 year-old kid. Who know's if in the future etsy will also be waiting for me ;) If that ever happens I will sure run out to you for advice! Thanks again.

I love those brooches!! When and why did you start making your own jewelry?

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I was away for 10 days on another of those work trips and couln't check but work emails!
It means so much that you like my brooches. How did all start? Well... I don't really know. I guess I've always been such a jewlery addict. Whenever I go to a new city I always look for original and cool jewlery shops, and from time to time I give myself some nice presents. I love it so much! Like 2 years ago, I think, I started having dreams of jewlery pieces I could create, but it never got further than that. My cousin has also been the greatest inspiration. She is a jewlery maker, and has the cutest shop in Madrid, and I absolutely adore her creations. Since Xmas I decided I was at least going to try to start making very simple objets, just for my pleasure, and see how far it could go as a hobby. In the near future I will of course be making them as presents for friends, so watch out ;)
