As mentioned before, my other favourite waste of time besides photography is stringing fashion accessories. It never fails to amaze me of any finished item especially when it gets good comments from friends. It was also a pleasant surprise that friends are even willing to buy them. I also managed to sell some during the Christmas Carnival of which a portion of the proceeds were donated to charity. If you are on Facebook, perhaps you might just pop in at http://www.facebook.com/#!/MandyNikkosCollections. We are also on Instagram. Credit to my girls for the set up.
I am thankful that my two girls and my son's girlfriend are supportive and are enthusiatic about getting a concept to make this hobby into something more tangible. They are now trying to set up a website and God willing would be available soon.
In trying to get new designs, I noted that charm bracelets and necklace are getting more attention. I like the vintage look. I learned that a charm bracelet is an item of jewellery worn around the
wrist. It carries personal ‘charm’ decorative pendants or trinklet
which signify important things in the wearer’s life.
Lately, my girls and I managed to string a few and would be available in February hopefully to coincide with Valentine's Day. Reserve orders though are very much welcomed..hehehe..
We have yet to perfect our designs which do not strictly follow the design of a conventional charm bracelet or necklace but be assured that each is made with much joy and enthusiasm.
Here are some pictures. The 'old look' and the frame is deliberately done to heighten the vintage look. They are semi complete as I have yet to fix the clasp, preferably a toggle clasp as we have yet to receive them which were ordered online just a few days ago.
All pictures were taken using our handphone.
Cheers.
Bead Turquoise Blue, a personal favourite.
