Pokemon Project: Charmander



The second complete set of Pokémon-inspired jewelry, this time on the very first Fire-type anyone really recognizes: Charizard.

Ok, fine, Charizard is the last one shown here. Still, most people recognize Charmander as well, so I decided it would be for the best.

I think my camera's flash needs a new light bulb, because these pictures are very dull. Still, you can see most of the cool jewelry here.

Charmander:


The bottom beads were from the clearance aisle, the center beads were ones I had for years, and the beads on top were from the regular bead section.

 Charmeleon:


The center bead was from the same strand as the Bulbasaur earrings, and the other red beads were from the clearance aisle, too.

 Charizard:


Out of my entire 6-piece collection, this was the most expensive necklace. The little points are quartz, and a lighter orange than the shadows of my house could show. The green beads were used in the Venusaur necklace, too. The rest came from a bunch I bought specifically for this project, and used them in the other projects for this evolution family.

This was how productive I was this week, and now this one looks like so much fun to wear. I might even make duplicates for myself.

Pokemon Project: Bulbasaur

I did it. My first ever complete jewelry set. The first Pokémon family in the official list - the Grass-type starter Pokémon that started it all, Bulbasaur. It's one of those Pokémon that even my mother recognizes. Unfortunately, my camera's flash isn't working as well as it could. If it was, you would be able to see the pretty green I chose for my beads. I've decided to keep the set, anyway. Bulbasaur: The earrings were made with beads I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Ivysaur: I used the same strands of beads for the bracelet, and this one does have an error. I used two pink beads in a row when the pattern said no, but I did decide to keep these. UPDATE: I changed the chain closure to a flower toggle clasp, in keeping with the Ivysaur theme. Venusaur: I used beads from the other two sets for the necklace, and I didn't get those from the clearance aisle. I did get the big pink beads from another clearance strand, and I made the charm

Introduction

Hi, I'm Nora, and I have a creativity addiction. I've been running the Baking in Black cooking blog for years, but I haven't been doing much for it lately. That's why I started a blog for any other kind of creativity. Here, I'll show pictures of my current projects, links to my video tutorials on YouTube, my self-imposed challenges, and entire blog posts on where I get my inspiration from. As you can tell, I have plans for this blog. I still don't know what it's going to be like in even a year's time, but maybe my readers will get to see me get better at art. Probably not, though. Why should I do art when I have my brother to do art for me?

Pokemon Project: Spearow

Image
Since the broken necklace from the auction gave me enough brown beads to make Fearow, I did not go shopping for this family. It took a while to get started even after I had the design in mind, because my wrist was bothering me again. Again, I used only leftover beads, so I didn't have to spend any money. Spearow: These earrings used two of the last four feathers, and some shiny beads from my Pidgeot necklace. Fearow: This bracelet used some of the beads from a broken necklace, the same one I used for Raticate's bracelet. It also has beads in it that I bought for the Pidgey line. I'm still going on this challenge. I am also starting to feel the strain on my budget. But I have a craft fair coming up and am still looking for jobs, so I might be able to replace some of what I spent on this project.
